Rumor: Flames offer for Eichel: Tkachuk, 1st round pick, former 1st, and 2 prospects

[SeawaterOnIce]

I personally don't want the Flames get screwed this badly.
(This is coming from a Canucks fan)

 

[trellaine201]

Omg I doubt that’s true otherwise this would be done! Buffalo win for sure.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Sabres are not accepting this??

Where is he saying they didn't accept?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so uhhh why hasn't Buffalo accepted this if that is true?

 

[Big Empty]

That’s a great f***ing offer.

Eichel, Gaudreau, and Lindholm has the makings of a really nice forward group.

 

[Mobiandi]

My inside sources are telling me that Adams really wants Krebs though

 

[illpucks]

Calgary is doing well in the standings. No way they do this deal. They do this only with Arizona's record.

 

[red devil]

I wonder if there are conditions on the picks depending on how the surgery goes, plus is Buffalo retaining any salary

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

So Flames pack it in for the year even though they are on fire?

Eichel still needs surgery and will not play this season

 

[Seachd]

Kylington?

He wasn’t a first round pick.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Where is he saying they didn't accept?

He isn't but maybe there waiting to see if Vegas tops this idk cause If I was Buffalo I'd have taken it and run

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Dunno why a Calgary pacing for playoffs would potentially throw away season for a player who may/may not play in the year (I'm not sure the timeline on his preferred surgery)
But also, there's absolutely no way this was offered or it would have been taken. Unless the Vegas deal is equally f***ing absurd and they can't choose.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

This is how you lose credibility in an instant. This is the most bogus ‘insider’ leak ever. You wouldn’t trade Tkachuk straight up for Eichel, let alone toss in a bunch more lol. What a joke. You’re an idiot Weekes

 

[JLo217]

Yeah trade would be done. I'd bet the issue is figuring out contingencies if Eichel can no longer play after his surgery, or how long he plays. It's a complicated trade.

 

[Mike Jones]

I wonder if there are conditions on the picks depending on how the surgery goes, plus is Buffalo retaining any salary

That's the only way a sane, rational GM would play this. Every asset going to Buffalo should be conditional.

 

[kanucks25]

I imagine this is the wrench in the whole thing.

Other teams probably want the trade to be conditional pick heavy based on Eichel's health/performance, which is understandable.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Kylington?

Not a former 1st rounder

 

[Kcb12345]

Watch Buffalo make this trade and then flip Tkachuk to Vegas lmao

 

[Kranix]

These trades don't get leaked like that. Nobody knows what it's going to be.

 

[Nakawick]

That is too much. Too much risk for Calgary.

 

[Flash20]

No one has sources in Buffalo don't believe any of this bullshit

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This is how you lose credibility in an instant. This is the most bogus ‘insider’ leak ever. You wouldn’t trade Tkachuk straight up for Eichel, let alone toss in a bunch more lol. What a joke. You’re an idiot Weekes

Exactly my thoughts too... he looks very foolish with this tweet

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

If that really is the offer, have to wonder if the holdup is purely involving a 3rd team regarding Tkachuk.

Otherwise, sweet newborn baby Jesus, that's a much better offer than most have been expecting.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Replace Matt with Monahan. Trading Matthew would set this franchise back 10 years. If you want Eichel, you want him and Matt on the same line together. They would gel.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Weekes doesn't know jack; that package gets you 2 Eichels...
