What’s clear here is there are a lot of teams with health concerns over Eichel. It’s a calculated risk. I think LV is banking on him coming back at 90% based on the return. And I think it’s fair he comes at a discount. If this is all they got Adams should be commended for holding out. Tough that the Flames couldn’t beat it with something slightly better. I was fearing the price would be first line player, high prospect and two firsts. That would effectively cripple our ability to do deals in the future. In this case it came in as two higher prospects and a first (protected). Unprotected and throw Dube and how does Buffalo say no to it? Our future wouldn’t be screwed and we’d have a potential star. Tough loss.
