I feel like the inevitable "Flames" outcome of this if it goes through would be:
Tkachuk goes on to have a HOF worthy career
The picks all have serviceable NHL careers
Eichel comes in, never fully heals or doesn't return to form. Fans turn on him and he's run out of town. And we wind up with no prospect capital to look forward too for the next 3 years.
This is the problem with leaving in a GM on the hot seat who you probably should of let go after their second brain dead coach hire in a 3 year span. He's desperate and will be trying anything to hang on. It's becoming harder and harder to stay a fan of this organization. I DO NOT want Treliving at the drivers wheel of any major trades. I made my peace with him allowing his precious core have another shot this year. The last thing I want to see is this man trying to attempt a last hail mary in the 4th quarter.
