He has no interest in being part of ANOTHER rebuild. Dismantling your roster to get him lands you a miserable player who wants out again.

Hence, getting traded for Monahan and Gaudreau.
It’s way easier to acquire a top-6 winger with some finish for a song - we make the mistake all the time over paying to acquire them.
We should overpay and acquire Eichel. I’m inclined to give that player the benefit of the doubt, given the organizational futility that surrounds him.
And if nothing else, the Flames are try hards - never out of it, never contenders (because they haven’t had the pieces in 30 years) but always around.
There is something to be said for that. They’re not the Sabres.
