I know it's been beaten to death around here, but I think adding Eichel would have been another huge boost as well. Such a shame really.

After listening to Mike on the Fan the other day, I'm more optimistic than ever about this team's prospect pool. Giving 2 or 3 of these guys away in addition to roster players, in exchange for a player coming off a very serious injury, would have been a huge risk for this team to take on. Besides, there's no guarantee that the Flames were even in a position to land Eichel, especially if Buffalo specifically wanted the pieces that Vegas had to offer.
