{Is Henrique considered a cap dump at this point?}
No, he's an essential element of any Eichel trade to offset some of Eichel's $10 million cap hit and compensation package. Anaheim operates on an internal cap, and it's probably $75 million or less for this coming season.
Neither Anaheim nor Los Angeles is going to put two A+ assets into any Eichel trade before he's proven his game fitness in actual NHL competition, which is why you keep seeing reports that "LA is out" or "Anaheim is out" in the media. Imagine trading away Max Comtois and the third overall pick in this year's draft and then learning that Eichel will be out for the entire season.
