Man I dunno how Vegas beats Calgary to Eichel... Pacioretty is supposed to be out 6 weeks, from last week. Stone isn't even on LTIR and supposedly doesn't need surgery. So despite the cap gymnastics talk even with Tuch actually out they basically need to move 10 mil back which I'm assuming would be a couple of their higher paid mid level forwards like Karlsson, Reilly, Dadonov, Marchessault, all of who are too old to be contributing at peak level when their team is competitive. I don't know how Buffalo would prefer any of them to a Dube/Monahan type combo.

So then your left with Krebs, one single prospect who was a 17 overall and looks overmatched at NHL level right now, and seems super overhyped to me, and a huge cliff down to their #2 prospect, Korczak who I liked a lot here in Kelowna but looks like a defensive dman at best and a bunch of B forward prospects like Brisson and Morozov.

Plus 8/10 experts would probably say their picks will be worse than ours.

Calgary has multiple young NHL established NHL forwards, a couple prospects drafted in similar slot to Krebs who have done nothing to diminish their stock and higher picks.

I don't understand how Vegas beats calgary to the player unless they simply don't want to pay the price. Which makes no sense when they've been trotting out the same group for a couple of years and losing.

Nevermind the fact that if Calgary ends up in a division with Eichel and McDavid, the next 5 years are basically a write off.
