Description

Flames are rolling right now under Sutter and have some depth at forward. I think they can give up some assets, take the hit until Eichel is healthy, and have (possibly) a deep playoff run when he returns. I think they would need to make subsequent moves to regain some defensive depth (maybe trade away some AHL prospects to regain some draft picks).

Thanks for reading. Stocked to hear your thoughts!

Do we resign Rakell? That would be a lot to give up for a rental

Sabres decline. It's just not the right package.

Yes, intention is is to resign rakell.

Curious what do you think of the eichel package? Would it be something that Buffalo would consider? I was trying to find something fair.
Thanks for the feedback on my post!

They already have SOOO many LD in the system, just don't see them being interested in Välimäki.
