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

[bernmeister]

thanks and not shooting the messenger.

That said, no way this was offered even w/Eich at full max retained.

1. way too much
2. this is Eich, today, as is
this is not Eich post surgery, down the road, confirming he has returned to top form, which even that is not top 5 pivot.
3. Also, no conditional picks identified to protect Flames if Eichel's neck etc falls apart shortly after.

buyer beware

I'm from BC, so I don't take issue with your nudge of Niagara lol. That said, I'm just bugging AB for some fun.

Lol no nudge at all respect of course to the southern Ontario folks.

 

[abo9]

can't believe the flames would jeopardize such an excellent start to the season. I'm more inclined to believe the rumours to Vegas who are lacking a #1C.

 

[coopooter]

Alberta, sure.

Calgary, no.

Calgary is Denver without gun violence.

That’s the best part

 

[Sens Vader]

f***ing trade him

It would be hilarious if the Flames got Eichel but Buffalo turned around and flipped Tkachuk to Vegas, who extends him 8 years at 7m.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Rumor probably leaked out of Buffalo management to get Vegas to up their offer. Got to think Buffalo stays on the phone while Calgary calls it in to the NHL offices if this is true. That plus whatever they get for Tkachuk is a massive haul for Eichel.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Haha there’s no way they offered that. Complete BS.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

That’s the best part

I agree, being able to go to school or a Batman movie without worrying about being murdered is pretty sweet.

Knights need a center more than they need another winger.

 

[TheBeard]

Whats the hold up? Is the former first rounder Trevor Lewis??

 

[CupInSIX]

Knights need a center more than they need another winger.

Right now they need anyone with a pulse that can skate.

 

[Bankerguy]

Congratz? I'm talking about the people/attitudes, not geography.

LOL what? I've spent time in both Calgary and Houston and no..the people / attitudes are nothing alike.
Not sure if you drew that comparison from the fact that you might see someone on horseback in both places... but regardless, your ignorance is glaring and appalling.

They don't need a winger who will try to take them to the cleaners when it comes to negotiating a new contract.

As a Sens fan, i lived with it with Brady and i guarantee that Matthew will be double the trouble.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Just curiouswasn't there a rumor going around that Tkachuk wanted out of Calgary? Maybe he asked for a trade?

 

[Leafidelity]

I feel like a lot of West Coast fans haven't watched enough Eichel.

If the reported offer is significantly better than anything Vegas offered, wouldn't McPhee know it was a bullshit rumour since the Sabres didn't immediately accept it?

 

[These Are The Days]

I trust the Weekey Leaks.... come on Adams. Do it bruh. Folks ain't ready for the Alpha you're pulling right now.

I just said he signed a 7m 8 year extension in my fantasy. Chill.

 

[elitepete]

That seems like an overpayment.

 

[Ragdoll]

Seems like a overpay from a flames perspective. Only reason I can see for trading Tkachuk is if they don’t feel that they can’t sign him, then you might as well turn him (and other assets) into 5 years of a top 10 center, possibly more if Eichel resigns. Just seems odd to mess with a team that is absolutely rolling right now.

No….

buffalo didn’t leak

this was leaked by flames to get Adams pressure to make a trade thinking the bid is TrueType 4+ first rounders when in fact it’s a bunch of busts.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I've been to Texas, I've been to Colorado, and I've lived in Alberta for 25 years.

We're far closer to Colorado culturally than Texas.

Texas is weird AF.

I've been to Texas - Dallas, Houston, Arlington. It's a really nice state but too busy for my liking. Lots of nice people in Texas.

 

[The don godfather]

Wow Adams is gonna fleece someone. He might be gm of the year if he pulls this off.

 

[Sens Vader]

I feel like Kevin Weekes is pretty reputable

If Tkachuk is being flipped that could drag on the process of a trade
