Blysma had pedigree but things have gone south for him since the end of his Penguins tenure and he hasn't had a job since the Sabres fired him. They are similar to the Flames in that they probably need a big roster shakeup and maybe nobody should be untouchable on either roster.

No idea....i dont really have a clue what the issues are with that club, they should be so much better than they are and have been.
No one really knows what makes their GM tick either, being on the job less than a year and starting it all in the middle of a pandemic. I would think he is using this season as little more than one of observation before deciding how to proceed both long and short term.
I do know that trading Eichel is the opposite of making the team better though, even if its possible that long-term it may be the right move. Mind you having Skinner signed longer term than Eichel, there may be some cap pressure they can do nothing about in a couple years.
No matter who/what goes the other way in any hypothetical deal though, the team that gets Eichel gets the best player and 99% likely that is a by a longshot. And in general whoever gets the best player wins the trade no matter what.
So in that sense, if Eichel is on the table....not sure there is an untouchable on this roster to get it done.
Still think its all fantasy land stuff tho.
