I remember hearing somewhere that in his draft year, Eichel believed he was in the same tier as McDavid... I could see him liking the chance to go head to head with McDavid on a regular basis. And while Calgary may be a small market relative to NY, he'd be hard pressed to find a more passionate fanbase anywhere south of the border. Another thing in our favour is that IF Buffalo were to trade him, they'd almost certainly want to move him out of conference.
So while its unlikely Calgary could land Eichel, its not entirely crazy to consider
