Maybe on a team that's not in Buffalo. I might of stretched it a bit but he would be generational for the Flames (and as close as we'll ever come to getting one) for sure. Again, no one player can carry a team in the modern day NHL. There has to be at least a couple more players as a supporting cast.
Eichel's cap hit is actually a bargain if you look at the players that have the same or higher cap hits other than McDavid. $10M cap hit for Eichel is a bargain. It's too bad that Sabres didn't build the team around Eichel the way they wanted to. Bringing in Hall is a joke, IMO. When Edmonton got McDavid, after the first season with Hall, they pretty much disposed of him.
