Quite a lot of it, I suspect.

Some posters seem to want Eichel at any price because they think he'll automatically make the team a contender.

Some posters have pretty much stated that they want Eichel because it will probably blow up in the Flames' face and ‘force a rebuild’. (Why anyone would start a rebuild by sending away three or four top young assets for a player who can't play, I confess, escapes me.)

And I think some are just excited about the idea of Eichel as a Flame and haven't thought through the cost of acquisition, the cap problem, or how to keep the team afloat until Eichel is healed and ready to play.
