Ya maybe but then it really doesn’t make sense to me unless it is a similar situation where there is a third team involved. Buffalo likely has no interest in Tkachuk because of his contract status which could have them paying Tkachuk more than Eichel or trading him in the next year and a half. If Tkachuk is on the table from the flames then there is not a ton of adds from Calgary. I don’t see us moving Tkachuk+Valimaki+Coronato+1st or that deal would have been done.
I could see it in a 3 team deal where a third team is sending the main future assets Buffalo wants and receiving Tkachuk.
I don’t think Eichel to Calgary makes sense without at least 1 more team in the deal. Only way I can see Buffalo going after Matthew is if they can also get Brady and then lock the brothers up for 6-8 years.
