A 1st next week year.
For:
A #1C, and a Cup-winning top-4 D.
It’s expensive. It wouldn’t be one of the top 10 overpays suggested in this thread, never mind in real life.

This grossly undervalues Tkachuk. He is a top-20 young player in the world with 2 years of team control. He had an off year last year like the whole team, but if he plays anywhere close to his potential he is worth 9m easily. Heave you seen what 9m buys you on the open market lately?
I've said it before, but again, I wouldn't add much to Tkachuk in a trade for Eichel. You are acting as if he is a throw in. Each to his own, but if you think your view of Tkachuk's value is correct there isn't much to say other than you are wrong. He is Calgary's single most valuable asset, and Calgary is not bereft of valuable assets.
