Well, the top line C hasn't played an NHL game yet. The #1 overall pick (which Eichel would be in almost any other year) doesn't always light the league on fire right away. Remember Stamkos's first year? Who knows if the kid takes a bit to get his sea legs. Don't get me wrong, I think that's a future bona fide first line NHL center, I just don't know if he'll be one before Christmas.
That said, the bottom 6 looks outstanding in terms of ability to outscore other teams' depth players. That's going to be an area of strength, I think. Any GM would be giddy to have Girgensons in their bottom 6.
