I actually tricked myself into thinking we could actually land Jack Eichel and really, that's a shame on me because as a long time Flames fan, I should know to generally expect disappointment.
Not really sure this is a fair comparison. He revamped rules for expansion present the expansion team with riches right out of the gates. They have access to very good young players to claim and can make deals in the process to accumulate draft capital. The whole process is significantly in favour of the expansion team now unlike years past
