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

[kerrabria]

Why would Eichel want to go get humiliated by playing for the arch rivals of McDavid?

 

[Satan]

Nobody comes to Alberta to visit fuggin Brooks. Come on.

Look at his location lol

"I couldve lived anywhere in Canada/USA... so I chose the stinkiest town in Alberta"

 

[DFF]

Why would Eichel want to go get humiliated by playing for the arch rivals of McDavid?

Because McDavid is an easy out in the playoffs?

 

[These Are The Days]

Why would Eichel want to go get humiliated by playing for the arch rivals of McDavid?

Because when you have Eichel's skill, if bettering McDavid isn't motivation enough you've got one hell of a problem. It's the same idea as Ted Williams saying he used to think about going against Bob Feller for 3 days because he wanted to beat the best. It's not like Eichel would have no talent around him either to get it done.

Bidding war between flames and knight. Perfect scenario for Sabres

Big talk from a team that's had 50% of the MVPs the last six years and won a total of 7 playoff games while getting bumrushed by an over-the-hill Blackhawks squad and swept by the JETS.

 

[Bankerguy]

British Columbians will never get over the fact that the best parts of the Rockies are ALL in Alberta lmao

No one in Vancouver cares

That’s humiliating if I say so myself.

 

[platotld]

I just thank me lucky charms Jet Black ain't involved...

 

[Fivealive5]

No one in Vancouver cares

Why’d you reply then

 

[MarkusKetterer]

While these offers are much better than what I was expecting, I can't help but wish Kravtsov + Georgiev + 2nd was still on the table

I wish Strome + 2 conditional 7ths was on the table still.

 

[Super Cake]

If i was the Flames gm, i would be pissed that my players names are being leaked.

 

[Kranix]

If this happened with the Uncle Lou the trade would be off.

 

[TheDoldrums]

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

And Strickland would know this how?

 

[Super Cake]

And Strickland would know this how?

I honeslty feel like nobody truly knows what is going on, but they are reporting everything they hear even if it is not 100% true.

 

[HSF]

And Strickland would know this how?

well connected with the tkachuks

maybe the flames GM has told Tkachuk that he won't be traded

just a guess

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

I honeslty feel like nobody truly knows what is going on, but they are reporting everything they hear even if it is not 100% true.

Me too - the insiders are being played like an orchestra by the teams involved to speed up a resolution, but the particulars could still end up anywhere.

Wtf does a former 1st mean in the context where the player isn't included as a third prospect?
Valimakki? Or, more hilariously, Gudbranson?

I don’t think he means a veteran player picked in the first round like ten years ago. I would
guess it’s Valimaki.

That future 1st is probably highly dependent on Eichel’s games played and probably top ten protected.

The prospects are probably mid-tier or lower. Some maybe Jeremie Poirier and Rory Kerins?

Tkachuk
Valimaki
Poirier
Kerins
‘23 1st***

***If Eichel plays over 65 games and the pick is later than 10th overall. If Eichel plays fewer than 45 games, the pick becomes a 2nd. If the pick is 10th or higher, it becomes a 2nd***

^ something like that.

 

[rt]

And Strickland would know this how?

Weekes has been wildly wrong on crazy stuff before. Strickland is usually all business with this kinda thing.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Doesn't mean he's not being traded to another team in a three way. Just not going to Buffalo.

 

[belair]

This rumor is stupid.

 

[Fogelhund]

And Strickland would know this how?

That’s because it’s a three way. Eichel to Leafs for Marner. Then Eichel to Calgary for the Weekes package including Tkachuk.

Just joking around folks.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Doesn't mean he's not being traded to another team in a three way. Just not going to Buffalo.

Calgary gets:

Eichel
2nd, STL

Buffalo gets:

1st, 22 - Calgary
1st, 22 - STL
Zary, Poirier
2nd, 22 - Calgary

St Louis

Tkachuk

Does St Louis have the cap to make this work?

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Exactly., he said he would like to play in St.Louis.
