When it comes to Eichel, the Flames have already done their due diligence on his health. I have a source that confirmed to me over a month ago that the medical staff and training staff were tasked to “Look into Jack Eichel”. (Mods can PM for source confirmation). To me the fact that we are still in the mix means that the Flames are comfortable with the approach that Eichel wants to take, or else have weighed the risk and are using that as a basis to what they would be comfortable giving up in a trade. Not exactly groundbreaking info considering all the smoke that the Flames are in the mix with Eichel, as you’d have to assume that the Flames have some sort of comfort anyways.
