If Treliving has offered Tkachuk for Eichel as rumored, I bet he's not offering much in addition to Tkachuk at this point. Trading Tkachuk for Eichel at this point makes the Flames weaker to start the season if Eichel isn't ready, and how it affects the team long term is up in the air depending on how surgery and recovery goes.

I really wish the Sabres would just bite the bullet already. I'm sick of waiting and wondering and hoping.
If you can trade Tkachuk for Eichel + a bit more you do it in a heart beat. No1 centre for a up and down winger who is far more interested in money than anything else. If the Sabres are on board just do it.
