Depends on the cost.

If they have to give up Theodore, Krebs, and a 1st or something like that....well then I'm not sure it's a disaster for the Flames.

That Vegas team is getting older, have spent all their draft capital/assets, and has cap issues.

And the core is getting old.

Pacioretty - 32 - 2 years left
Pietrangelo - 31 - 6 years left
Martinez - 34 - 3 years left
Dadonov - 32 - 2 years left
Marchessault - 30 - 3 years left
Stone - 29 - 6 years left
Karlsson - 28 - 6 years left
Lehner - 30 - 4 years left

Tuch, Whitecloud, Krebs, Hague and Theodore are really their only key pieces under 26. If they move 2-3 of those guys to get Eichel then they really are in a mode where they have to win in the next two seasons.
