I think what they could do is make the trade then move Eichel to LTIR. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a Kucherov situation if that went down but I could see Vegas making that deal and figuring out the cap piece later.
For instance I believe the Flames would have to take Eichel’s full $10M cap hit but once the deal was done they could move Eichel into LTIR then free up that cap space.

Maybe:
Dube + Valimaki + 1st + second?
Maybe Buffalo just prefers the Vegas players and/or sees Tuch as more on the level with Mangiapane and wants him out of Calgary.

Yup, it is a lot to offer. But definitely one the flames could beat, if those were indeed the pieces.

Doesn't Buffalo have to take a significant chunk of salary back? I thought the reason they had not yet moved Eichel to LTIR was in order to stay above the cap floor. With Tuch already on LTIR, this does not help in that regard.

Buffalo wouldn't have to keep Tuch on LTIR. Instead, they could count his salary to keep them above the floor. Eichel isn't on LTIR now.

I think they need about $4.5-$5 million in salary back if they lose eichel.
So the flames could send back Zadorov + Valimaki and I think it would be enough salary to keep Buffalo above the cap floor.

I think you are right, I think Vegas would also have to clear some (not all due to their current LTIR relief) salary as well to make the deal, and then put Eichel on LTIR. The reason I am doubtful of the Kucherov situation is that there are 31 other GM's who will be out to cause problems for Vegas if they try the same thing. Kucherov was all about timing, as his projected clearance was right around the playoffs and that matched the procedure he had done. Kind of hard to say Eichel isn't cleared until the playoffs if he is looking to be ready around the Olympic break. Although if we lost out on Jack, it would be something to savor watching Vegas try and hide him only to end up getting raked over the coals after his agent makes a very public pitch for him to be included on team USA.
I am also equally adamant, no one waives any trade protections they have to end up on Buffalo, so that limits salaries going back to either valuable long term parts like Theodore, or contracts expiring this year, like Smith. It would also make for a very interesting off season for Vegas cap-wise.

Flames need to move out 8.95 million of AAV in salary in an Eichel trade to be cap compliant. So any combination that adds up to that (or more)
Salary of Monahan + Valimaki + Zary pretty much does it from a cap perspective for both teams. Calgary stays below the cap and Buffalo is above the floor.

they could also run with a 21 or 22 man roster, to shave that number a little

They could but we know that's not how tree rolls. He's going to want depth at the fingertips at all times.

I did not hear this myself, but apparently Pagnotta said on a podcast today that he has heard that Buffalo still wants 4 firsts or equivalent but now is willing to retain some amount on the contract.

If there’s one thing this whole saga has confirmed for me is just how incompetent the buffalo sabres are. Awful GM, awful team, awful owners. They suck top to bottom.

If they’re willing to retain, I’d gladly toss another 1st or a 2nd into that deal.

Expecting an incompetent person/team to do non-incompetent things is a waste of a thought.

playing around with next year cap... if we can get them to retain slightly on Eichel (1-2 mil) and Lucic retires instead of playing for 1 mil, we could very likely keep all of Tkachuk-Johnny-Mangi... Big ifs though lol.

Is the general consensus that we are all higher on Pelletier than we are Zary? I think personally I'd rather hang on to Zary and put Pelletier in that deal. Would love for this to be the final deal especially with any retention.

I don't think Valimaki and Zadorov are worth 1sts. Zadorov likely has a small amount of negative value. Valimaki is probably worth a high 2nd (similar to what Bean got).
Monahan might not be either at this point because he has only been about a 50 point player since 2019 and he gets paid more than most 50 point players.
Zary is also debatable. He's probably worth a late 1st, around where he was drafted.
You have to be quite generous with the value of Valimaki, Zary and Monahan to argue that they are collectively worth three 1sts. It's possible, but I think it's a stretch.
But I'll go out on a limb and say the 1st itself is probably worth a 1st.

How I’d rank our top prospects as of today:
1. Matthew Coronato
2. Connor Zary
3. Jakob Pelletier
…which also aligns with their hockeyprospecting.com NHLe in their D0 year (38, 37, and 29 respectively).
Worth pointing out that Krebs’ NHLe in years D-1 through D+2 are 20, 26, 39, 44. In comparison:
Pelletier: 22, 29, 31, 33
Zary: 26, 37, 39, no data yet
Coronato: 20, 38, no data yet, no data yet
