Rumor: Flames offer for Eichel: Tkachuk, 1st round pick, former 1st, and 2 prospects

[Dirty Dog]

Friedman is reporting that this is not true.

and Friedman CLEARLY has sources!!! Sure he’s been wrong 100 times on the eichel trade, but what can you do!

Would Ottawa part with Pinto for Tkachuk?

Nope.

Pinto makes 900K and is controlled for 5+ years, Tkachuk makes 9M and is controlled for 2.

WOW talk about desperation this offer if I'm buffalo I'd take in a heartbeat. Whomever acquires Eichel imo won't see him in action this year and the biggest problem it's a back injury that is requiring surgery.
His chances of a full recovery with no guarantee of re-injuring his back are slim. To give up so much and write this season off then to hope he works out is a huge gamble on a 25 year old kid.

 

[Larry Hanson]

If the rumour is true whoever leaked it to Weekes should be fired. I don't understand how high level employees of teams can casually give out this sort of information to a reporter. If it wasn't a high level employee then the whole front office needs a shake up. Don't care which team that applies to honestly.

 

[Groo]

Nope.

Pinto makes 900K and is controlled for 5+ years, Tkachuk makes 9M and is controlled for 2.

Too funny

Treleving should probably be fired too if this offer was true.

Calgary is doing well in the standings. No way they do this deal. They do this only with Arizona's record.

That makes zero sense

It was probably Doug Wilson, trying to get Vegas to overpay.

 

[McTonyBrar]

BUFFALO PLEASE DO THIS!!!! DESTROY CALGARY FOR US!!!!!!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

If Friedman is saying not true, then he needs to say why.

You can’t just say not true and leave it.

That’s about as credible as Weekes tweeting the offer from the Flames.

Come on Elliot. Halloween is over. ET took his Reece’s Pieces and went home.

So do your job or get on your bike.

 

[Sideline]

This smells like Buffalo leaking to try and drive up the offer from a competing bidder. There is no way Calgary has that on the table and the Sabres don't say yes.

Could be an agent.

Where?

 

[Kranix]

He posts clickbait speculation like everybody else but he's never done something stupid like this. Until you see Bob Mackenzie say it, it's not true. Seriously.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Friedman hasn't tweeted anything about this yet. So how can one say it's not true?

 

[SI90]

I trust Weeks. But, there is always a chance that if the “source” is from Buffalo it could be strategically leaked to try and get Vegas to up its offer.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Where?

Tim and Friends

Unfortunately it’s almost Bob’s bedtime.

 

[Mike Jones]

Why not both?

O k - we can totally do that.

 

[Kranix]

I wouldn't trust him. He's your classic former player who wants press, so he trusts somebody feeding disinformation.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I hope Friedman said: “It’s not true. Na na. Nanny boo boo.”

 

[Mike Jones]

All roads lead through Edmonton. Don't think you do that without a franchise center.

They should have been drafting and developing all along. If they had done that they wouldn't need to throw future assets away on an injured guy who may not make it all the way back.

Tkachuk, Zadarov, 1st and two B prospects isn't an insane package. Really depends on the 'former' 1st rounder and the prospects coming from Calgary

Don’t let him see this or he’ll call HFBoards an assclown again
