Eichel is just that good.
I’m genuinely at a point where I say this team has to rip it down and hope they draft someone as good as Eichel, or trade for Eichel.
Otherwise this team will just continue to wander aimlessly in mediocrity. They need an elite top centre. If they can lock in that player, all the other pieces are in place. Valimaki will be the top LHD, Andersson the top RHD, and 2nd pairing defenceman are easy to find every summer. It’s easy to fill spots 3-6 on the defence through free agency. We have an elite goalie. Gaudreau, Mang, Lindholm, and Chucky are fantastic top six wingers. Monahan would be a good 2nd line centre. We also have some depth players in the AHL that could fill in the bottom six for a few years effectively (Gawdin, Ruzicka, Phillips, Pospisil). So how do you get the elite #1 centre? Pay the price to acquire him.
Get Eichel.
