Because they are not keeping Eichel... Also Johnny is from the NY area so Buffalo would probably work for him on a personal level.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
six months of johnny isn't a worthwhile trade piece for a team that is rebuilding.

Watching his performance yesterday, you do see that his agility and talent keeps the other team on their toes for most of the 45 seconds... Though I agree he's a no-show during the playoffs, during the regular season he is quite effective in the "New" NHL.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Silky mits, crazy quick feet, lateral agility and very decent vision. BUT G'damn it, put some mustard into your shot... He definitely doesn't have full out speed, but his ability to out accelerate his opponents and tight turns are ridiculous, yesterday I didn't see anyone (Josi, Benning, Ekholm) ever come close to catching him when he goes on the outside.
I think pairing Gudbranson and Zadorov is a mistake. I like having the heavy weight in the back end but they need to split the pair them with some puck moving defacement - Hannifin/Anderson
Tanev is probably the most Textbook defence man I've seen in a long long time. He's a defensive coach's dream and seems like a true leader on/off the ice.

Don't mistake me, I'm a huge Johnny fan, just saying he's a free agent, so his rights are not valuable because there's no team control.

Flames aren't getting any useful assets back for Johnny.
Apparently Chucky, former 1st, future 1st and prospects has been thrown in the offer for Eichel. Quite honestly makes more sense to me than the Johnny rumours.
I'd keep Chucky and the rest rather then Eichel if we're giving up that much.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And I dont think Johnny has every been rumored to be in a potential Eichel trade. Its been circling around Monahan, Valimaki, Dube, Mangiapanee, Kylington and now Chucky + prospects/picks.

Agreed, but the biggest issue for me is if Eichel can stay healthy. Knowing that Chucky is due for a raise around 9-10m/year Eichel is the better deal. But with that many throw ins... it's hard to justify.
Eichel goes to Vegas ,

Not that it matters anymore, but you're quoting Kevin Weekes. Elliotte Friedman says the opposite.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Kevin Weekes also said Tortz was going to replace Q as the Panthers' head coach.
wah wah another big name not coming to Calgary. Cap issues and other constraints maybe come into play why we didn't get him, but I'm still let down.
Lol that’s it? That’s all it took? Vegas always wins lol

They are up against the Cap ceiling with no breathing room. They have 16 Mil in LTIR. Lets wait and see how this is going to unfold.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Mine and every hockey friend I know/group chat echo this same statement. Yesterday spittinchicklets is throwing rumors that its Tkachuk + a current 1st round player + former 1 round + picks. Then wake up to see this shit.... it's like damn, Dube + Valimaki + Zary or other alternative prospect + picks and Big Z for salary balance should have easily got this done. Either Buffalo was throwing out fake shit to bump up the price and Calgary wasn't that interested after all or something weird went down.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yes I am sure that is the thought process here. However Eventually they need to shed some salary. They are operating at 91 Mil right now and the Cap is not going to go up significantly anytime soon.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
