Right now everybody is saying McDavid is better than Eichel, and that isn't putting a knock against Eichel. Makes you wonder that with Babcock as a coach the difference could be a lot closer than many are predicting. Eichel may not be the offensive juggernaut that McDavid looks like he'll be but Eichel could be a more well rounded player under Babcock's guidance.

Eichel could easly be the better long term player than McDavid. He already has a better shot not playing in Edmonton.
