Lebrun’s article in the Athletic specifically mentions Anaheim and Calgary as destinations that are most interested in a trade for Eichel:
Quote:
That’s why I think Minnesota is likely out of it at this point, for example. The Wild had kept tabs on it for months. But with the buyouts they made this summer and those cap charges moving forward, making room cap-wise for Eichel would require a lot of bodies going out the door.
The Flyers kept tabs on it early on as well but with all their offseason moves, I don’t think they feel like it makes sense anymore. The Rangers have forever been linked to Eichel. I don’t sense they’re as much in it anymore.
The Kings gave it some thought for a while but my sense now is that Los Angeles isn’t that involved. Although things can always change on that front.
Calgary and Anaheim are among teams that have done their due diligence on Eichel and I believe remain interested to some degree. The Ducks, to me, make a lot of sense in the bigger picture. They’re most likely not a playoff team this season, they want to continue to go young, Eichel definitely would fit into that rebuild. But at what price?
And there are other teams very quietly doing their work on this. Teams that haven’t been identified yet.
At the end of the day, at a conditional price, it’s absolutely worth it
