I didn't see this being discussed anywhere. 
  
According to this (probably stupid) report from The Fourth Period, the Sabres were seriously considering a package for Eichel. I refuse to believe it to be honest, I don't think there's any way Murray would have strayed from his plan. This is the first I've heard of it.

The first name that comes to mind is obviously Stamkos, but I just can't fathom Murray would have ever been "close" to pulling the trigger.
