The Flames need to keep Lindholm. He's the only high end forward that can play on the right side. He can be sloted in at centre as well. If the Flames are bringing in Eichel, they should look at moving all of their other forwards before Lindholm. The only foward I would put above Lindholm would be Gaudreau, with a contract extension.
I really like Eichel, but given everything that's gone on, a deal involving both Hanifin and Lindholm and multiple first equivalents seems like an overpayment. Hanifin, due to his beauty contract, is another one you try to keep at all costs.
If I'm the Flames, my off limits list is:
Hanifin
Lindholm
Andersson
If the Flames can keep those 3, acquire Eichel and then extend Gaudreau, with those five to build around, you have a legit team.
