You know who would check all those boxes? Jack Eichel.

But I don’t think the Flames can get him because I don’t think Eichel will want to play in CGY, and I think other teams will easily outbid CGY.

However, I think it would take Tkachuk + Lindholm + 2021 1st. A Sabres’ writer said he would probably say no to that in a recent Hailey Salvian article for The Athletic, so you might have to add. But around the draft that 1st round pick might seem more tantalizing to Buffalo.


You simply can’t make a Tkachuk+Lindholm+top 10 pick for Eichel it would be a monumental flop for the Flames. This team can’t do that and come back with Gaudreau, Monahan, Gio and think adding Eichel (who has been a loser though his first 6 years) is going to turn this team around.


If this team comes back to compete next year I think Lindholm is absolutely still here and Tkachuk as well (unless he requests a move)
