It kind of bugs me when Friedman says the Flames don't have enough interesting pieces to acquire Eichel, then he goes on to say Anaheim does.

Are pieces like 3rd OA, Zegras, Drysdale really more interesting that Tkachuk?
Personally, I don't think so. Matthew Tkachuk is only 23, yet has had 3 years of high production.

Anaheim, Minnesota and Vegas, with Boston, and the Rangers. Really, none of these terms have any players, that could conceivably be traded, who are better and younger than Tkachuk.

I almost wonder if Friedman thinks Tkachuk isn't on the table at all in terms of Eichel offers.
