I agree Eichel isn't in the same category as McDavid but he's better than anyone we have on the Flames by a long shot...

Except he isn't. Nothing points to him being a better player than anything we have on our roster. Jesus, if one of our guys produced at that clip but was that big a defensive liability he would be run out of town on a rail. This grass is always greener stuff is usually bull####. If a guy plays one way on one team he usually plays that way on the next one. Very seldom do you make a trade where a guy dramatically improves or his game changes. Unless you are trading futures (picks and prospects) when you make a trade you are trading for the player you know, not the player you hope the guy turns into.
