NRD just uploaded the first episode of his new Cold Stove Podcast. First named Anaheim and Calgary as interested teams in Eichel. Said that Anaheim was squarely in the middle of it and is probably the favourite at this point, then mentioned Calgary in the conversation as well. Said he doesn’t know how Eichel would feel about going to Calgary, but it’s a moot point as he has no say. Said that an Anaheim deal would have to start with Drysdale, but doesn’t know if Anaheim would be willing to do it. Also says Comtois has fallen out of favour with Anaheim’s front office and would be involved. Mentions Henrique as a potential cap dump. Speculates about Gibson also being in the deal.
Minnesota has been in, out, in, and out. Also listed Vegas, Detroit, SJ, and Montreal. A lot of teams are in the mix. Ponders if Vegas is worried about completely depleting their prospect pool more than they have, hence why they are unwilling to include Krebs and maybe Hague. Doesn’t think the fit is there for NYR.
