Again, not a lad the Flames can hope to land, but a feature on Eichel:
THW's E-Mac goes in depth on American hockey heir apparent (at least until the arrival of Auston Matthews not so far behind).
Excerpt:
Quote:
"Eldon MacDonald, THW: A few words on Jack Eichel:
The Next Great American Hockey Player: The big story so far for the 2015 NHL draft, the one that dominates the draft columns, is the competition between Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid for the number one overall pick. TSN even has a Mac or Jack column that gives you game-by-game updates. However, as important and as fun as the Mac or Jack saga is, I think the real big story, the story that is missing from the draft page, is the effect that Jack Eichel along with his compatriot, 6’2”, 194 lb. Auston Matthews (a pre-draft favourite to be in the hunt for number one pick in 2016) will have on USA-Canada rivalries in the future."
