I seriously have to wonder what Eichel could do for the Flames that he hasn't done for Buffalo. Depleting the depth of the team to add Eichel pretty much makes us no different than the Sabres.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Eichel on the team, but if you have to cripple the team to do it, it's just not worth it. If you are adding a $10 million cap hit for several more years, I think you need to be really sure that the team has what it takes to be competitive after that, otherwise it might be just enough to handcuff the team financially and keep us on the bubble.
I would rather take our chances tanking and building through the draft.
