The one aspect of acquiring Eichel that intrigues me the most aside from having an elite #1C is the contract situations of Tkachuk and Gaudreau.

I would think getting the chance to play on a line with Eichel is enticing enough to highly consider staying with the Flames. But the point has been made we could probably only keep one of them, and hopefully we can get a hefty return for the other.

For arguments sake if the Flames spent 1st Round Pick x 5 to get Eichel, a hefty return for Gaudreau or Tkachuk would net less but still recoup at least 3/5 of those 1sts IMO.

It is an interesting position the Flames would be in where they could potentially do some damage with a studded top 6, and still have some younger assets down the pipeline.
