Legitimate concerns. That's why Tkachuk for Eichel made more sense to happen before the season started and the Flames went eating up cap space on bottom pairing D. However, the future cannot be dismissed either - are we better with Eichel after this season then a $9m+ Tkachuk for the next several years?
