From a Calgary standpoint, my argument would be (proven assets) Tkachuk is worth the equivalent of 2 recent 1sts, Monahan worth one recent first, and the Flames would have to add a third piece that has proven success at a level at/or near the NHL.

Four players/prospects farther along in their development, playing at a high level, is a huge ask. One that I would be willing to give up for Eichel.

Tkachuk
Monahan
one of Pelletier/Zary
In my books Bowen+Newhook+1st+2nd is superior to what you are proposing from the Flames particularly in light of contract situations.
I mean that's a helluva offer. Flames can't match that. They don't have those type of prospects.
