For the same reasons you've put forward.
Eichel's injury. Eichel's lack of winning, and general question marks around him.
I feel like that's a weird line to draw (If LA won't offer Byfield, we shouldn't want him). I think the package I put out make sense for the Flames from a "going all in" perspective, as well for Buffalo from a "rip it down to the studs" perspective.
In general - what do you think the Flames should do to take a step forward? If not going in for Eichel, how do they meaningfully improve next season? I think the roster has a lot of good pieces in place, but they lack an elite centre and I don't think you can win without that piece. Eichel's falling out in Buffalo looks like a real chance to acquire that piece.
