We'll see, but Jack Eichel hasn't shown the ability to elevate a squad, let's see what a damaged Eichel does. I believe some are sleeping on what the Flames have in waiting, and the present team, now being properly utilized, is a threat. I understand Eichel could make a difference, but it was going to cost plenty to see that hand. Maybe your right, maybe not, but I personally see a lot in the present team, and having been to a number of Stockton games, see more than Kyllington, Anderson and Mangiapane being NHL types. I understand disappointment, as Eichel represents near term hope, I'm just glad management doesn't bend to similar emotions. Vegas is transforming a competitive machine into the island of misfit toys.
