And more facts here. Eichel has done ZERO in the post season. Hasn't played a game. Hasn't even come close to getting his team near the post season. Eichel is a figment of a lot of people's imaginations. He's with Monahan smack dab in the middle of the second tier of centers in the NHL. Until Eichel steps up and shows he's this mythical player people keep pumping up, he's nothing that much different from the guy we have. 21 points separate them, and the guy with fewer has managed to be the number one center on a playoff team multiple times during his career. I'm open to trading Monahan, and even trading him for Eichel, but the expectations and understanding of what we are getting back in return need to be reigned the hell in.
