[Trade] Eichel + 3rd to Vegas for Tuch, Krebs, 1st, 3rd

[PeteMoss]

Well... we better sign Gaudreau now.

The other thing is BT coming from a business background and family -- you would think if he got Eichel, sales would be through the roof! The BOA could have been marketed so much better with Eichel vs McDavid.

This was a major missed opportunity to bring in money and life back into the fanbase.. you know, instead of 15k fans in the stands.

But who cares about entertaining your fanbase when you could just let players go and do nothing.

I wanted Eichel so it’s too bad this didn’t work out.

But my god, based on some of the reactions here some of you need to grow up and/or move on to a new, healthier hobby for yourselves. This is not the right outlet if you have that much negativity in your life.

The team is 6-1-2 and playing some of the best hockey in the entire league. Today is a good day regardless of a trade that didn’t happen.

Wow some really testy people here. You all have no idea what was offered or what Buffalo wanted. I don’t see how not getting Eichel is all on Treliving, it takes 2 to tango. If they wanted Krebs all along then the Flames were never really in it anyways.

All that matters now is Johnny, Tkachuk, and Mange. Need to get them signed or move them out.

It is just baffling that this guy would spend a 1st and two 2nd round picks on a bottom pairing defenceman but refuses to spend assets on actual difference makers.

Instead he kills the team by a thousand cuts as he wastes assets on more garbage like Zadarov.

au contraire

without Eichel, we better let Gaudreau walk so we can tank for Bedard

not interested in wasted the next five years pretending Lindholm is a 1C

[OldSam]

Disappointed but not surprised. I would like to know how Vegas is going to get away with the cap circumvention issues.

I can't lose my mind over it like a lot of posters are. We don't know what really went on. Buffalo decided they wanted a local guy who wants to play there and a youngster they see something in. We can't force Adams to take our offer. He and Vegas have to live with their deal.

I don't think Brad was ever really in the game, so Adams had to go with the offer from the team that wanted Eichel.

Tuch has way more value than Monahan and the Flames weren't going to give up Tkachuk, to say nothing as to whether or not Buffalo would want him and his pending contract situation. He is from the area and is under team control. Would you rather the Flames give up Mangiappane? Would Buffalo want that?

wake up. Your criticism don't even make sense.

Here comes Brad's #1 fan lol "Don't you dare ever criticize my GM"

That Hamonic trade was a disaster. A 1st and 2 x 2nds for middling play and 218 games of Hamonic… baaaaarutal.

Not watching the games this season, huh?

Too bad, they’re pretty entertaining. You should try it, you might actually like watching the team if you’re going to slob around on their fan board.

So, after 8 years - The GM has put together a team that whenever someone big is available, Calgary doesn't have the pieces to make a deal.

At what point do you stop talking about teams just liking other players versus the GM not doing a good enough job to have any assets that could bring in help.

Neither could any other team. This is the deal Buffalo wanted most. We don’t know what the ask was from the Flames, and since we didn’t have the player Buffalo wanted, we would have needed to outbid Vegas by a substantial amount.

Did Kevin give you any other details?

[klikitiklik]

Not sure how to feel. Maybe I feel used and a little dirty. Man the media is such a powerful tool.

I was full on believing we would win this one but alas we are once again the bridesmaid.

The worst part is now the trolls have a weak spot to pick at and we've given coiler fans lots of ammunition. Im already receiving the insulting texts. THAT IS THE WORST PART of this situation.

Just keep winning...........I feel a big loss coming on tonight.......

[I_H8_Crawford]

Can't wait to see the crap return (if any) the Flames get for Gaudreau and Tkachuk - Time is a circle....

Our GM is ####. What does he even do?

According to you it is. Which doesn't matter.
I said several times that Krebs was the best prospect either franchise had and the one that projects to 1st line potential.
So if he was put on the table it was going to be hard to match.
You can not like it. You can think the offer could be beat. But if the other team simply loved Krebs that's not reality.

Maddening. Can’t wait until the BT era is done. Sutter is a brilliant coach and is the reason this roster is achieving what it is right now. Treliving said major changes were coming and so far the major changes have been middle six wingers and a face punching defenceman. For a guy who is apparently always working the phones on the trade market he rarely seems to get something positive done via the trade market outside of the two Hamilton trades.

Nope, just that.
