Let's face it. It's the only way we'll ever get a player like him. Even when we win the lottery, we get the Nolan Patricks and JVRs and not the Eichels or Barkovs.
Correct. Look how many swings Edmonton needed at the lottery just to come away with a true star to build around.
If this Eichel situation intensifies, I fully suspect Fletcher to be in on it. And I dread many on this forum talking themselves out of the idea of acquiring Eichel.
We can either trade for Eichel, blow it up and pray that we win the lottery/draft/develop our 1C of the future, or pray that we have a 1C of the future in the pipeline. I'd rather pay a premium for the certainty.
