What on earth are you talking about? Tbe Flames are only a few months away from breaking ground on a half-billuon dollar new building in Calgary. They are not suddenly going to shrug their shoulders and fold the franchise, no matter what happens with Jack Eichel.

Trade a 1st? Fine. I get that. Its been done before. Trade two 1sts? Thats getting a bit dumb. Trade a 1st, and 3 top prospects? They only have 3. Thats pretty dumb. Trade all that and a roster player? Christ you'll be setting up an environment worse than Buffalo for the guy to play in.

Sure, I get that. But far and away most fan proposals are not that rich, and there is no way the Flanes or any team will be spending those kinds of assets. I just don't see that this is anything to worry about.
