Look, I know there are risks with Eichel’s health. I trust the Flames to do the due diligence.

Acting like Eichel is even a remotely similar acquisition to Tarasenko is silly though.

One is a top line center you have locked up through his prime years and one is a declining, one way scoring winger that likely won’t be worth his cap hit. His best years are behind him.

Flames fans say they want out of this mushy middle, well Tarasenko is the perfect acquisition to stay comfortably there.
