This, along with confirmation that the Sabres want to ship him west, had led many to believe that only a couple teams including the Flames are remaining the sweepstakes, hence the Eichel fever around these parts.
And along with that, Anahiem seemingly not wanting to pony up one of their few big ticket prospects or first rounder which will be a lottery, it just points to us being in the top 3 unless some team goes fully idiotic.
