When should the Sabres attempt to move Eichel? When the NMC is active? At some point this can't turn into a Dom Hasek, or Taylor Hall situation where the player dictates where he can go, thus rendering a lesser return from other clubs.

As Kevin mentioned - the 6-year contract gives the team a lot of leverage if Eichel does not want to stay. He wants to move? Then he'll need to waive any active NMC.
Hall situation was completely different - he was on an expiring contract. He could wait the 2 months and go wherever he wanted. Eichel has no such option.
