Latest rumor I saw from Tim Connelly has Tkachuk, Zadorov, Poirier, and a future 1st rounder for Eichel
That's not horrible, but if Eichel doesn't come back from surgery close to 100%, then it's a bad deal for the Flames. They have been stuck as an also ran team for so long, at this point, what the hell - go for it.

Why the fuck would Boston native Eichel be happy to play in Cowtown?
Dumbass rumour
The Vegas rumour makes more sense
Fortunately for the Flames, it doesn't matter - they would have Eichel under contract for something like another 4 or 5 seasons. Also, he is friends with Noah Hanifin and he knows Gaudreau. I'm sure that would cushion the blow somewhat.

I really hope that Lafrenierre isn’t the next coming of Nolan Patrick
Why do you care?

Not a fan, no. I’m Canadian through and through. Just have loads of respect as to how far Hockey USA has come

Are you as surprised as I am with Lafrenierre’s stinkiness? Not completely throwing the towel in on him but I do have a growing concern

There's a bit of a trend emerging where these top rated picks seem to become easily overwhelmed when they hit the big league right at 18 while the kids picked a half dozen spots later seem to strive to succeed and probably train 10x harder to achieve that goal.
There's just so few of them that become the Matthews and McDavids. Coupled with the lottery, throwing a season isnt worth it at all

Great observation. Unless it’s a generational McDavid Matthew’s type getting the first overall pick is becoming a bad omen instead of a blessing. The Wings IMO look to have the best player from the 2020 class and he went 4th overall. Jack Hughes won’t be the best player from his class and I guarantee you Owen Power won’t be from his class

Caught a bit of the Oiler/Preds game.
You know who I don't like?
Any of those Oiler twats!
I especially despise that smug, holier than thou Dave Tippett motherfucker.
Didn't like him as a player.
Didn't like him as a Stars or Coyotes coach.
Don't like him now.
