The more I think about it, the more I feel like the only move that might work for the Flames without butchering this seasons outcome or future seasons is to try to trade Tkatchuk for Eichel.
He is a pretty significant issue for the Flames as he will either take his QO and walk himself to Free Agency or want 10+ per season in a long term deal. At that point we'd probably be wishing we'd turned him into Eichel when we had the chance.
My attempt would be:
Tkatchuk and 2 2nds for Eichel.
