Love Mang, but if he was the centerpiece of buffalos ask than Eichel would be a Flame. If you're Buffalo you through ideas out there, the conversations are had but it doesn't mean both or even either of the teams are seriously considering them without adding a lot more detail.
My guess is if Mang's name was out there, Buffalo said they would also need an established young Dman, the flames have 3 or 4 of them. But for the flames in a playoff race, they aren't giving up 2 roster players for an empty seat on the bench over the next 3/4 of a season, on the Flames side it probably always had to be 1 flame, 1 heat, 1 jr and 1 pick, if nothing else for the 2021/22 season.
