Are you all smarter than 30 other GMs who didn't beat the Vegas offer?

Do you not follow this team? Are you sucked in by small sample size recency bias?
Flames are the definition of a mediocre franchise. This was a team many thought should consider rebuilding as this core has really done nothing. Eichel was going to be the highest potential player we could get in a deal and for a franchise that refuses to rebuild it makes a lot of sense to go get him.
I feel Calgary could have and should have topped that offer and where they are and where they want to be it made sense to spend more than what Vegas did
