Buffalo receives:
Pavel Zacha
2020 First - Vancouver Pick
2020 First - Arizona Pick
2020 First - Devils Pick
Semi Vatanen (50% retained)
New Jersey receives:
Jack Eichel
Before people think I'm crazy. I wanted to sell Coleman and I said first and second. People said I'm crazy and would never sell Coleman. Today I got what I wanted plus some, and everyone is happy. You have to ask to receive. I also think Eichel will leave Buffalo, and I think Jersey will be deadly about when Eichel reaches his prime years.
Let's be real here, both clubs are not serious. Eichel is stuck there. I speculate nobody wants to play at both places, but Devils with all those picks plus Hughes and Hischier, have a shot at drafting a generational talent this year, and be a contender in 5 years.
I don't think overpaying for Eichel will happen, and I don't think you can win a cup at Buffalo with Eichel alone. He will eventually realize it's a dead end for everyone involved.
Edit: Changed second to first.
Warning: I'll tell you why you can't offer more. Look at Eric Lindros trade. Who won the cup? Sure the value is there, but you don't build teams around a single player. If you overpay you won't win with Eichel, and Eichel won't win at Buffalo.

(not that it would make the offer more legitimate)
