Treliving should be jumping at the opportunity to get Eichel, and a few "maybe" prospects and picks shouldn't stop him, ESPECIALLY when the team is trying to compete and win right now.

I still think that if it came down to a few maybe prospects then the deal would have been done already. Zary or Pelletier are not the hold up. If Krebs is in the deal, then we don't have a player of similar pedigree. So, Vegas beat us there.
I don't know the offer from the Flames but a comparable offer to the Vegas rumour starts with Hanifin and it is still not as good as the Vegas offer. Again, the Vegas offer is better.
Perhaps the Flames had the best offer and Adams was waiting to see if someone blinked first and that is Vegas.
