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

[VikingAv]

Kylington?

He wasn't a 1st-rounder.

So Tkachuk, Zadorov, a 1st, and two of Zary, Coronato, Wolf and Pelletier?

Or Tkachuk, Zadorov, '22 1st, and two mediocre prospects like Pettersen and Nikolayev. Other than the Tkachuk-bit, it's hard to know how strong the total package is.

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

Why not, looks like we are in the midst of a bidding war. Let THEM get crazy, not the Sabres. Looks like Eichel is in the head of two GMs at least.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'll only believe this is it's cofirmed by darren

 

[BCNate]

Buffalo would be absolutely nuts not to take this deal. I highly doubt the return is anything close to this.

Friedman is reporting that this is not true.

After hearing Feidman basically say there’s no truth trith this rumour, could this whole Calgary offering tkatchuck and firsts be something floated by the Sabres to get more from VEgas?

That might be getting near fair value if Eichel wasn't injured with neck surgery coming up, and if he wasn't demanding a trade.

Weekes is full of shit or trusts someone he shouldn't trust. He doesn't care either way. It's massive clicks for him

Friedman: “it’s not true”

Ok then. Why not? What is true?

Probably pissed he didn’t report anything first.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

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

Centre and D prospects. Hence the Zegras and Drysdale shenanigans.

 

[Kimota]

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

Really? I know he needs surgery but as far as I know Eichel is still a franchise player.

He was just on Tim n Friends for a 5 min segment

Could be, GM's try to play one another all the time. I don't know if Freidman was saying there is no truth to Calgary having interest in Eichel though, it does make sense for them to. I think the pieces involved are what he is saying are totally false. It wouldn't make much sense to trade Tkachuk.

Say what you will about the insiders, nothing tweeted before they say anything is ever correct.

Everything, and then some more

That’s my thinking. He always came across to me as that one guy you knew in high school who was really smug but nobody really liked him.

It’s two headed Eichel!

[DL44]

Only reason i can possibily being hung up is salary retention on Echiel.

Why else hasn't Buf taken that already? Cgy probably offered that much on the table trying to get significant retention.

Edit - just saw Freidman say not true..

 

[Fire Treliving]

Link?

Don't have a link, but he was on Tim and Sid.

 

[McJC]

As an Oilers fan, would love for Eichel to go to the Flames. Itd be must watch hockey watching Eichel go up against McDrai

ONce Jack gets his surgery and has recovered he’s going to be the number one centre the Flames need to compete with the Oilers.

I thought Tim & Sid was done. That being said, they were way better when they were new news anchors on The Score

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

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

And remember Shane O' Brien tweeting out Tkachuk for Tarasenko was a done deal. More fluff.
