I'm not sure I see Eichel trade as a comparable. I know that Eichel and Tkachuk are both locked into long-term deals, but I mean, Eichel as a trade was a very long saga. the divorce between player and team was a foregone conclusion for a long time, so it was more along the lines of Buffalo actively taking offers and then choosing the best one (obviously with some negotiation but you know what I mean). This is trying to pry the captain, star, and cornerstone piece of a 7-year long rebuild on a long-term and reasonable contract away from a team that has no desire or reason to trade him. If the Devils were really deadset on getting him, then it would take significantly more than fair value
