As for QoC, it’s just data. Go to natural stat trick and you can see the breakdown of TOI for every player against every other player in the league. It’s aggregated and that’s the basis for QoC. The opposition is what it is
What I do know is that Buffalo is an awful team that is a perpetual bottom dweller and hasn’t made the playoffs in 10 years
I am not in the room for game planning but maybe opposing coaches feel the need to zero in on matching against Eichel because the key to beating Buffalo isn’t necessarily containing Eichel so much as it seems to be just showing up

I went to post 56 as you suggested and found the words that said that the goal production was not linear with the WAR %, but then when looking at the graph supplied the gap between Lindholm's 88% WAR and Eichel's 95% is in fact pretty linear. Over the last 3 years Eichel provides maybe a 10% bump on Lindholm.
If the Flames are all in on this sort of analytics they are not going to trade for Eichel.
The JFresh Analysis says that Flames already have a solid 1C that is in the top 12% of the league and Eichel is not much of an upgrade that uses up a lot of cap.
If the JFresh analysis is correct the Flames have the talent that demonstrates it on the ice and it all comes down to coaching and goal-tending. Treliving should be extended long term for putting together this analytics contender.
Gaudreau is basically too good to trade and should be looking at least a 10M x 7. and his last 2 years where he was #36 in ppg is really good but his 3 year ppg is great... 27th in the league. A legit top player on a lot of teams.
JFresh will have Gaudreau drop like a rock when 2018-19 falls off the 3 year moving average unless of course he puts up 99 pts in 82 games +18 this season to replace the 2018-19 numbers.
