I'm looking at the footage of McDavid and Eichel and I don't see anything spectacular from Eichel. What am I missing?
Sure it's just a few youtube videos, but I feel like McDavid's heads up play is far superior to Eichel's. I can see McDavid for instance looking into the net for some of his shots at top shelf and whatnot. Most of what I saw of Eichel he looks like he's staring at the goalie and shooting where the goalie/players aren't. That being said, maybe I'm being too harsh as most typical NHL players are like Eichel and Gaudreau is a completely different monster.
Feel free to say I'm full of crap, but if making a comparison, McDavid is like a Gaudreau style (less developed) and Eichel I'm not sure what comparison to make? Both probably would succeed, but I could see McDavid learning "tricks" from Gaudreau and actually pulling them off in game, not something I could see Eichel pulling off on a consistent basis.
I concur, focus on Sean and Johnny. McDavid would be awesome, but what are the odds?
