Buffalo loved Krebs, Tuch had more points than Mangiapane last season and actually likes Buffalo
Also it is a FACT that the Knights need to remove more quality players from their lineup.
IF Eichel comes back and puts up 100+ points and the Knights are a top team then we can have more of a debate.
Acting like its already happened is the issue
there is plenty of context here
You don't even acknowledge this could be an absolute disaster for Vegas

It’s possible it could be a disaster for Vegas but I think that’s very improbable. Just like how it’s possible he could get hit by a car and never play again it’s possible but improbable.
I should have said “I think” this will prove to be a Flames mistake. I also am making the assumption that the rumours of asking price, Flames being in on it, etc. are all true- so from a fairly biased lens I will happily admit.
I also think that if Eichel turns out to be as legit as I think he is, we will read on this website all kinds of different theories as to why Calgary couldn’t / shouldn’t have done it, or that we will never know what happened, or whatever. And as a Flames fan, it is kind of annoying not having a number one C forever and then not only that but being stuck in constant mediocrity where you’ll never get a high enough draft pick to get one.
So once a (lifetime?) player like Eichel comes up- I think you gotta get it done somehow.
