But I think if there is a possibility to get him, I'd expect the Flames to do a bit of rebuilding and it may be sped up to try and win ASAP since 5 years is a short period of time. If there's absolutely no chance to get Eichel, move on.

Eichel is generational? Maybe that's where a lot of people differ. Eichel isnt even close to generational in my mind.
And he comes with a 10 million cap hit. So you arent getting any cheap years
