He’s still young, and he obviously has talent. But I think he would fit best on a team that already had big stars and strong leadership.

Neither has anybody on the Flames roster. Eichel would give us the best chance of having a top notch threat. Especially paired with Gaudreau. Neither Eichel or Gaudreau have had the chance to play with talent like each other.
