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

[LeapOnOver]

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.

Just another way of probably saying an A prospect or something...without outing the name.

Bidding war between flames and knight. Perfect scenario for Sabres

nothing wrong with a bid war. I think it hurts the Sabres to only actually have to teams. Similar to the situation for OEL with him giving him gm only a list of 2 teams, one of them not even a bit interested in OEL (boston)

I think this offer is solid by the Flames.

 

[Captain97]

Bro the BoA is gonna be so lit if Jack goes to Calgary. Make this shit happen Adams.

Eichel Vs McDavid could actually be a thing, would be really cool.

 

[Fjordy]

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.

Man, just look at our LD depth in the team and system, the last thing we need is Valimaki and Poirier.

Number of games played is too easily manipulated by coaching and GM's no?

If I'm a GM and Eichel is on game 44 with a few games left and no chance of playoffs. Then Eichel sits and I keep my first.

 

[Forge]

And Strickland would know this how?

Keith would be the primary connection, I would assume

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Keith would be the primary connection, I would assume

Yeah but Keith isn't going to have any first-hand knowledge of these negotiations. And if Treliving has told Matthew that he's not a part of any proposed deals, if any exist, which he'd have almost no reason to do, there's certainly no reason to believe he's telling Matthew the truth.

 

[Sniped90]

which should also be a relatively easy flip anyway

could always just keep him

in any case this is a great offer, buffalo should have said yes immediately

Could you imagine buff flips tkachuk to the oilers lol. would be funny if it would happen but oilers couldnt afford him unless he took a discount, not only that the deal would have to include one of hyman or nuge.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I had a very reliable source told me he was headed to Vegas, said and done. Close hand-shake agreement and everything. But now it's said that Vegas gave their final offer because they were pretty much fed up, but for all we know Adams might be reviewing ups and downs of the deals. The pressure is pretty much on from Eichel's end.

The only thing that I can see is messing with the Eichel deal is Kevyn Adams is raising the bar gradually. I mean, Calgary is looking to outbid them here with a dumb package like that and that's literally not enough. That's ridiculous, especially considering he needs surgery.

Now personally if I'm trading for Eichel I would need conditional picks. And I understand getting rid of Tkachuk because Buffalo will meet his needs.

If there is a hand shake agreement with Vegas, what's the reason for delay?

If flames have no intention of trading Tkachuk and it leaked that that he is in the deal then it actually makes a lot of sense for Treliving to reach out to Tkachuk to let him know its BS.

The other hand is a duplicitous bitch.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Kevyn Adams being an ass.

He's basically saying he wants more for Eichel, which is scummy because Eichel needs surgery.

 

[PAZ]

The only thing I can think of is if Vegas wanted to delay it due to their own injuries, which is kind of dumb if a deal was already worked out. All it does is give time for other teams to outbid them, which it sounds like Calgary did.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Not surprising its a Canadian team that is willing to pay the most for Eichel.
Its strange because i don't see Eichel staying beyond his current contract to be in midwestern canada, he would probably leave as a FA to sign with Boston.

 

[lawrence]

Flames probably offering

Tkachuk.
2 of Coronato, Zary, Pelletier,
another 1st rounder,
and probably one of their younger active defencemens.

Lol. Scummy because he wants to maximize the return on a franchise player.

If they could find a way to keep Tkachuk that would be incredible.
Eichel/Tkachuk would make the matchups vs McDavid in the battle for Alberta more entertaining.
Like if they were able to trade some prospects for Strome and then flip Strome + prospects & picks for Eichel.

 

[Snippit]

I guess Weekes insider career didn't last long

 

[Kranix]

Has Weekes shown any contrition for this embarrassing Shawn Simpson moment.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

so its Monahan+Zadarov+1st+2 contract spots

 

[Boxscore]

Keith would be the primary connection, I would assume

Yes, and Matthew would know. If the Sabres are trading for Tkachuk (a pending RFA after this season) they would want to speak with his agent about the likelihood and parameters of a new deal. The last thing the Sabres want to do is get into another ugly stalemate with the main piece they acquire in an Eichel deal.

If Tkachuk is part of the deal, him and his agent know about it -- so does Big Walt.

Flames offensive group would be very solid.

Gaudreau-Eichel-Tkachuk top line would be incredible. A Team USA line.

Spread out the offense, move Monahan to wing.

Coleman-Eichel-Tkachuk
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Monahan
Mangiapaine-Backlund-Pitlick/Ritchie
Lucic-Dube-Lewis

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Tkachuk Zary First Ruzika Phillips

 

[jaric1862]

The Flames make way more sense than Vegas since they can actually fit him in.
