The agent move leads me to think this will be resolved and it will be done before camp. I think the Flames have as good of a shot as anyone to make the deal work as long as they are all good with Eichel getting the surgery. The Sabres will want to send him west, the Flames should be desperate to make a huge move, and they should be able to get the pieces. I do think a 3 team deal is required with Tkachuk being the centerpiece from Calgary along with our 1st and perhaps another plus.
I don’t see how the Kings make the cap work, the Ducks are in full rebuild, and giving him to Vegas is likely the last thing Pegula wants.
I hope with how long this has dragged out Eichel would welcome a change anywhere and the Flames would represent a win now team with a few of his buddies on the roster.
