Ridiculous we couldn't put a deal together to beat that "junk" for Eichel.
Prediction: By this time next season even the most supportive Treliving fans will want him gone because of this.

One more time: This isn’t a contest where an independent judge decides which offer is better. Buffalo simply wanted Krebs more than any Calgary prospect, like it or not, and likely wanted Tuch more than any roster player Calgary could offer due to his contract status and desire to play there. You can’t force a yes from Buffalo no matter how much you tell them Krebs isn’t as good as they think.
There’s a pretty good chance they didn’t want Tkachuk or Monahan even if they were offered, for reasons which have been set out many times.
I think it quite likely Treliving made an offer we would all consider “better”.
