I wish people would stop trying to build some rivalry between these two since they are not competitive in any way. Eichel is competitive with Sebatian Aho, not Connor McDavid.
Can't see it happening. The Flames just don't have the pieces to compete to make a deal and then have the pieces to have a competitive team on the ice in the next five years. A retool to be a second tier team is possible, but making a big splash for Eichel is nothing by guaranteeing that the Flames become Buffalo west.

Flames are already competing with the Oilers without Eichel
