I wonder if Eichel becomes a piece for players to want to sign in Calgary. It worked with Hall in Buffalo (Although panned out poorly and the $ may have been more of a factor than playing with Eichel. Either way the Flames better hope people will want to come to Calgary to play with him. With the potential UFA departures of Johnny next season and Monahan the next we better hope Zary, Pelletier and Coronado are ready.
Mangipane - Eichel - Lindholm
Coleman - Dube - X
X - Backlund - X
Either way I think as an organization you need to assume guys like Pelltier, Zary and Coronado will naturally fill those X's.
