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

[SI90]

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

that could be. He’s broke many deals and signings. I trust him 100% that he was told that was the package. Now is the person who told him trust worthy? I have no idea.

I was just saying that I don’t think Weeks pulls BS from a hat and shares it.

 

[Boud]

Weekes looks silly with this one.

Now fans are gonna expect a massive haul like this and when it's alot less, people will be outraged

I don't think anyone in Buffalo is expecting that kind of return honestly.

Fairytale stuff right there.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Could be an agent.

If I was the GM I wouldn't even tell the agent, none of his business if the player doesn't have trade protection.
Fine to let the player know the team is interested but no reason at all for the player or agent to know the details of what was being offered. If the deal doesn't go through it sours the relationship between the team and the players who were on the block, amateur hour stuff. Not a fan of Treliving but I don't think he is that stupid, I assume the leak is on the BUF end.

 

[Volica]

This goes against every thing I have heard about this deal.

 

[is the answer jesus]

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

I mean can we call a trade where a team gets the best player moved in the last decade as a move that will "Destroy Calgary"?

For sure. But he's not thinking too deeply or shrewdly about it. It never crosses his mind, 'hm I wonder if I'm actually scooping all the insiders on this one, that I'm THE guy they're leaking to.'

Just can't see the return being Tkachuk + 4 fairly valuable futures pieces. If that offer was on the table, I don't know how Buffalo didn't accept it long ago.

Buffalo has already overplayed their hand. The return is going to be not at all that impressive.

No, we certainly cannot.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

If this were true the trade would be done because Buffalo will not do better

Weekes is the guy who said Kaprizov was signing in the KHL. He just blurts out stuff.

I have no idea where you're getting 4 valuable futures from. The former 1st could be a bust from ~5 years ago. The 2 additional prospects could be nobodies drowning in the deep end of Calgary's prospect pool. This tweet, even if entirely accurate, really doesn't tell you much about the value without any names included.

 

[RangerBoy]

Tkachuk will be a group III in 2023. He will be a group II this summer. Which team needs a $10M winger?

 

[Mr Positive]

This would destroy Calgary's season. I doubt this could be true

 

[These Are The Days]

If this is true Kevyn Adams is a BAWS for holding out for better

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[The Moose is Loose]

This is how you lose credibility in an instant. This is the most bogus ‘insider’ leak ever. You wouldn’t trade Tkachuk straight up for Eichel, let alone toss in a bunch more lol. What a joke. You’re an idiot Weekes

Eichel is worth significantly more than Tkachuk are you kidding

 

[DingDongCharlie]

If this is true and happens I’ll rejoice as an Oilers fan. That’s beyond brutal if true

 

[CupInSIX]

Eichel is worth significantly more than Tkachuk are you kidding

Not if he's never 100% again. Calgary would be crazy to not take back a conditional 1st (lottery protected).

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

This would destroy Calgary's season. I doubt this could be true

How would it destroy Calgary's season to lose their 4th leading scorer and a bottom pairing defenseman?

Hes on quite the roll looking stupid

 

[TheFinalWord]

What's a "former first round pick?" Isn't that just a prospect? I guess that's another way of saying "plus three prospects, one of them a former 1st round pick?" Weird way to say it.

Its Mind-boggling some people think Tkachuk could get eichel one for one lol

 

[McTonyBrar]

Yes because look at how much they are giving up. On top of that, Jack may not come back 100% healthy or not back at all because of his surgery

 

[Perennial]

Given Eichel's injury, couldn't it be argued that Tkachuk has more trade value at this point?

I guess their respective contracts have to factor in, but still...

 

[thefutures]

Some of you have forgot how good Eichel is.
