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.

The team that gets Eichel likely offers up in their deal the best piece. The best piece in your deal is likely the first round pick in 2021 in what is considered a weak draft especially after pick 8. it would be outbid rather easily even though you've included some real value.
