TBH Krebs is a much more attractive prospect then either Vali or Pelletier (Maybe Vali 2 years ago). Giving 2 less desired prospects does not add up to one higher upside (That we know Buffalo loved)
Tuch vs Lindholm
Lasy year:
Tuch had 18 goals and 33 pts
Lindholm had 19 goals and 47 points
Linholm is a better player but Tuch is younger and signed longer.
Even that deal isnt a slam dunk that Vegas takes it over the Flames.
And from everything I have heard Buffalo never asked for Lindholm.

Also, trading that package for Eichel doesn't help this team.
The only way Eichel to Calgary made sense was if it was HEAVY on futures and the on-roster subtraction was kept to a minimum (read: Monahan or Backlund). The idea had to be to add Eichel to the good parts of this team, and subtracting Lindholm (and the +) to add Eichel likely would have sewered this team in the short term and the long term.
