Realistically, all it takes is Eichel going to the GM and the press and demanding a trade. A squeaky wheel, including the best player, can really force the hand of management.. This wouldn't be a money play, once the spirit is broken I'm not sure how an inept management staff can fix it short of a trade. I don't think its out of the question at all to see Eichel moved at some point in the near future.. And on paper you ask for a kings ransom, but history shows us you normally get a quarter, two dimes and a few pennies in exchange for your crisp dollar bill in these trades.
