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

[old kummelweck]

Edmonton has 2 franchise centers, and the playoffs have literally never led through Edmonton

Then why are they trying to get Eichel?

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

A relatively minor check, actually. He kinda just went into the glass weird. It was more of a fluke injury than something where the other guy shoulda been suspended. Even Sabres fans weren’t angry.

Maybe he damaged it when was looking hard around for his next landing spot?

You honestly think we want eichel because of Edmonton? Wtf

 

[Del Preston]

Oops. Misread that.

 

[Perennial]

And that would never be accepted. Buffalo will need at least a solid player that is a sure thing.

The report is an overpayment but don't think buffalo is going to sell low. Eichel is a top 10 player when healthy and flames aren't getting a bargain here.

And how do you know?

 

[The Moose is Loose]

If Buffalo does this deal they’d need to flip Tkachuk. No way he’ll stay there long term considering he doesn’t have a ton of term on his deal

Maybe that’s why the Sabres haven’t said yes already, they want a permanent piece. But they should take this

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Regardless of these rumours, you have to admit the two offers we’ve read in the past two days are way more entertaining than Eklund and the homers on every Fansided team page.

Bettman is putting the screws to Kim and Terry. Please get the Blackhawks mess off of very hockey related platform. Make the Eichel trade.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Sounds like a real pain in the neck.

 

[2 others]

Maybe Adams is still waiting for the Rangers to include Kakko in a deal.

hahaha I think I get it. hahaha

 

[leafsfan5]

for the love of God just trade him already

 

[Snipes45]

What happens if Eichel starts lighting up the Oilers?

He won't. Not worried about cgy getting him

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Bettman is putting the screws to Kim and Terry. Please get the Blackhawks mess off of very hockey related platform. Make the Eichel trade.

In that case, I guess Kevyn Adams will have to settle for Milan Lucic and Michael Stone.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

buffalo gets 2 LD

they have Power, Dahlin, Samuelson, Johnson,…all 1st rounders and Bryson

that is utter crap

What does Buffalo really need? I’d they were to flip tkachuk

 

[Kranix]

Weekes is fluff. Might as well have been Mike Commodore or Mathew Barnaby tweeting that. There's no way Adams had that offer and was like I dunnoooo

Sabres trade Eichel to Chicago for one of the players from the 2010 team.

 

[DJB]

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.

It means the rights to Jarome Iginla.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

In that case, I guess Kevyn Adams will have to settle for Milan Lucic and Michael Stone.

Bettmen wants trade to go through to cover up all the shinanagins in the nhl this last week or 2

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Flames will nosedive in the standings this season if they do this horrendous trade

 

[Empoleon8771]

Why wouldn't Ottawa save all of those assets and just wait for him to go UFA? We all know he's going to market regardless, and that he'll go with the highest bidder.

This is the logic that fans use and GMs don't use. This "why would we trade for him when we can just sign him?" isn't at all how GMs operate.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Sabres and Leafs fans, walking in unity.

Getting a little choked up here.

Friedman is reporting that this is not true.

Personally waiting for Frank The Tank to confirm.

Shocker...

That's cause it's God awful
