I look at this through the lens the Flames will not rebuild. They sure aren't bad enough to be in contention for Wright or Bedard in the next two drafts unless they trade Markstrom and all the top 6 forwards.
If Tkachuk is disgruntled and wants out I take the gamble on Eichel versus the types of packages that were floating out of St Louis.
