Instead he is like Neal and completely falling off a cliff for no apparent reason (physically anyhow).
Was the big payday to much to handle? Putting to much pressure on himself?
Weird story.
And yeah....not a team in the league can add 19M to their club without a major major upheaval to roster/chemistry etc. Even at 4.5, the duo would be over 14M a year and too much for almost every club going. Seattle may be an option for next season though. (For Skinner)
I think its fair to assume Eichel will be dealt at some point, maybe even as early as the off-season, but it wont be with Skinner attached.

Is he dealing with concussion issues again? He seemed to look like he was going to bust earlier due to concussions, but turned it around. Then he signed this contract and... where'd he go?
