Seems premature to me for Vegas to mail in their season. Despite their start, they are three points back and Krebs is playing on the second line. That defence is ugly without Theodore. Can’t imagine Vegas is an easy market to be a bad team and any trade for Eichel makes them worse now with a tough road to make the playoffs in a tight division. They better hope he recovers super fast and has no rust after over a year off (and I have wanted Eichel for the Flames). I just can’t see how it makes sense.
Good luck to them if they are giving up young roster players on entry level deals for another guy on LTIR. I have trouble with the Flames gutting the roster for someone injured for months. Can’t imagine if we had several of our top players out as well.
