A healthy VGS is almost 7mil over the cap, and its been said many times on radio and in print that McNabb and one of Smith or Dandanov have to be moved. (Smith and McNabb are more likely, but are UFAs)
The only probelm with Marchessault is his NTC.
In trade VGS is working from a weak position because they cant take back a roster player and cant retain salary. AND most teams looking to acquire those two UFAs will be contenders who do not have the cap space to acquire them.
So in all likelihood, VGS gets next to nothing for them, maybe a 2nd/maybe a 3rd, but why and from who if its not a contender?
This was the "unseen"/unacknowledged cost of the eichel trade. That the team depth would take a hit.
