The funny thing is I think Eichel would actually be interested in coming to Calgary too.
I'm quite negative and pessimistic when it comes to free agents and players that have control choosing Calgary, but we have a strong contingent of young American players here. Hanifin and Eichel specifically have a close friendship by the sounds of it.
Just like our Swedish contingent playing a role in bringing Markstrom here, I think our American group is a benefit. It sounds like it helped with Coleman too.
Trading a package along the lines of what's been suggested, followed by re-signing Gaudreau and Tkachuk would set us up nicely long term IMO.
