Taylor Hall is not an "elite weapon" and hasn't been for some time. And how do you know the price would have been the same? Since Hall had an NMC and since he ended up extending in Boston, seems like that's where he wanted to go.
As for Eichel, we don't really know what opportunity has been there. If the asking price included Gaudreau or Lindholm, it's pretty steep and Eichel's recovery is likely not helping the Flames for at least half a season..
