Eichel us pre destined for the Pacific. Which makes it tougher yet still in a division with 2 expansions.
Flames better make some hay, because we are staring straight into the Shane Wright abyss if they don't make some changes.
And hey, I am absolutely all about the Shane Wright abyss. ImO he is going to be the great equalizer. Is it wrong to prefer Wright over McJesus, Draisaitl and Eichel? Because if it is, I don't want to be right....or Wright hahaha.
The more I dig into our division, the more and more I feel like re build is the answer. All the California teams are about to rise, two expansions who will likely both have been gifted better teams out the gate, and then we will be battling with the remaining Canadian teams for the cellar.
As you can see, I'm not all that optimistic about the next few years for the Flames, as things stand today.
Obviously Eichel isn't in the division just yet but I feel it's just a matter of time.
