That said, The Flames can’t match the top 2 forwards on Edmonton either and their top D is pretty good. But are we that afraid of them? Vegas is looking a lot thinner these days, partly because of injuries but also because they aren’t defending or goaltending very well. They aren’t playing as up tempo a game. Karlsson and Marchessault are looking pretty average.

My point is clear. Flames fans laughing at the top players in Vegas with Eichel as non threatening must be joking. Maybe he was?
Are we afraid of Edmonton? Some Flames fans I know are. One of the main reasons I want Eichel on the Flames is the ability to match weapons with them a little more evenly.
McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Nuge, Puljujarvi right now is significantly better than Lindholm, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Coleman
Add Eichel to that Flames group
Eichel, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane
With-Coleman, Backlund maybe Dube I think that is an incredibly deep and immensely talented forward group
