That tells me the Flames aren't in this. If that's the price, keep your powder dry and look elsewhere. Four of those five pieces in a 4-for-1 deal is a crippling hit to the organization. I'm not against dealing three of those five, but they need to be in separate deals. Valimaki and one of the recent picks (plus another roster player or two) in a deal for Eichel, then Tkachuk in a deal where he recoups multiple assets to balance out the body counts. I think we can be further ahead with that strategy, but that would require Treliving to be as creative as some are claiming he is, and get two significant deals done.
