We don’t have a player like this. Full stop. If we did, we would know.
Anyone we’ll face to win it all is going to have at least one Eichel, if not more than one.
We can’t have none. The kid has 10 years of prime performance left, or more.
Again, no cost too high.
Would you like to go back in time and trade the Monahan, Poirier, and Klimchuk picks, along with Sven and Backlund to get Nathan MacKinnon?
I would. And I’d still have a job.

Eichel has 10 years of prime performance left! We have reached new heights of the legend of Eichel!
We offered 3 firsts to move up to 1 and draft MacKinnon and were told no. Why do you think they would have accepted the deal with Backlund and Sven
And in hindsight yes - But for the first 3 years you would have already been fired until MacKinnon took off - and poor drafting as always from the Flames doesnt help.
And Sven turned into Rasmus.
So Monny, Backlund, Rasmus and 2 dud firsts. Yes I would still take MacKinnon today. If they werent completely useless picks I dont though, and if they arent useless picks we are probably are not in this predicament to start with
