Well, that seals it. Eichel is a Duck.

Well if we don’t get him, at least we can now pin a target on you 😜

I think this too. Tre was rumoured to have wanted Coleman for years. He is like a dog with a bone on this stuff. And I'm not as afraid of an overpay as i normally would be.

You're thinking of Jack ECHL
The Flames will acquire a low minor leaguer named Jack.

If we can't get Eichel, we should just trade Johnny, Mony, etc.
Bedard, Wright, Michkov.

Eichel won't play next year, so still a good chance we are in the running for those guys...

My gut tells me Eichel still ends up in LA. If we can't get him I hope he ends up on the Rangers. Not only does it keep him out of the West but there is a very good chance the Rangers would then deal Zibby. I think I would rather have Zibanajed than Eichel.

Is this confirmed?
Who is going to trade huge assets for a guy who isn't playing next year?

It's just not going to happen.
Being bad enough to win a lottery is almost as hard as it is to be good enough to win a championship, and I don't think a team can manufacture that sort of on-ice ineptitude. I think that no matter what happens the Flames are still at least two years—probably three—away from entertaining any sort of plausible rebuild for elite-level talent in the draft.

Depends on when he gets his surgery. I believe Eichel will definitely play next year, just not right away.

Johnny would take us out of the running. Which is fine IF you acquire Eichel.

No it's not.
It's not even confirmed he's getting the surgery, and if he does the recovery time is not the entire season.

If I'm LA, I'm not in a win now mode - I'd keep building through the draft and not give up a bunch of futures.

Really hoping the Flames get him for the right price. He's at the tier of a player who would really shake things up on the Flames given there'd be a core piece moving out as well and isn't that exactly what most of us have wanted?

Exactly one more year of high draft picks and then start looking to compete for the playoffs
