We basically become the least talented team in the league + Eichel.
Isn't he already playing on the US version of the Flames !

I would argue he plays on a team with better talent, but for some reason they just can't get that talent to perform. That's the funny thing about team sports. The team with the best talent does not always win. Many times a lesser team can take down goliath by playing together and with discipline. There's the problem for the Sabres. They never play together and with discipline. The Sabres are a collective of individuals who play for themselves. No wonder success never seems to follow.
There is no way that Eichel comes west, especially to Canada. With a herniated disk sitting in a plane seat for long periods is agony. Why subject yourself to that when the majority of teams can offer you way less time locked in a seat? Travel miles will matter, and for that Eichel will want no part of Calgary or anywhere else west of St. Louis. This is a guy who just said the only thing he's concerned about right now is Jack Eichel (an individual, not a team guy), so he'll do what is best for him and his health. Calgary isn't on his radar.
