[Rumour] Weekes: Flames offering Tkachuk, 1st, former 1st, 2 prospects for Eichel

[Iniggywetrust]

The Flames released the offer so that when they lose hi to Vegas, they can save face and say they went all in.

I like Chuck, but if he did really request a trade, he is the logical guy to go, as he is a great player (the kind of player you need on any team really), young and still a ton of upside.

It would be a bit of a different story if he didn't ask for a trade, for me at least...

but the assets seem more aligned with what is reasonable at this stage of the game...

I don't like it.

I don't trade Tkachuk for a broken player. Matthew is worth more than that. I just don't see it.

I scanned so fast cause I had to go do something. I assumed we were posting legit Twitter rumours, but I guess people are throwing feces at the wall in here too.

I'm still holding out hope its a Tkachuk+Zadorov package. Make it so.

Just seems like a trade that would happen during business hours. It's past 8 PM EST and the games are starting. It's about the time where ...even if agreed...the parties might just say ...let's announce tomorrow.

So many options with more people that can play centre!

Not a chance. A deal this big will be announced the minute send is hit on the transmission

If this actually goes through, is there a chance that the thanks button can be left on unlimited for the day BINGO?

Naw, it's fun watching them have the best player in the world and still accomplish nothing.

Flames aren’t playing, and the only guy it likely includes from Buffalo isn’t playing either.

Business hours go later than 5 PM PST in the NHL

Elliotte Friedman pretty much poured cold water all over this rumor. Says Flames are not close. Vegas is still pushing the hardest.

Friedman can suck it.

The Iginla deal went late into the evening. Plus Calgary plays tomorrow and would need to call up some one if Rtitchie is out. Unless Zary is ready, I don't think they have the bodies in Calgary. Is Stockton playing tonight?

Wasn't that yesterday?

Which is surely what Vegas and Buffalo told him to say.

[djsFlames]

Will be interesting in the aftermath to see which insider has real sources and who's been full of draisaitl.

That was from a few hours ago.

Personally, I don't like the thought of giving up that much when there are few contenders and large risks associated here. I have no problem with Tkachuk included, but if the 1st rounder isn't conditional on Eichel's games played, I think it's a ripoff.

Secondly, given what so many have mentioned about Tkachuk walking after next year (from Buffalo in this case), what are the chances Buffalo flipping him to Las Vegas right after this deal? That would be interesting as he'd fit in perfectly there.
