Eichel has some serious challenges to his game. He's only a 44.1% faceoff guy. He's also terrible defensively being an incredible -66. He is very good, but he does nothing at the elite level.
Comparatively, Sean Monahan played 405 games and has scored 145 goals and 185 assists for 330 points (18th for centers). He's playing 18:31 a game. Monahan is a 51% faceoff guy. He's a -14 player.
Jack Eichel is NOT Connor McDavid. Not even close. In that same time frame McHobo has played played 374 games and has scored 176 goals and 333 assists for 509 points. The spread between Eichel and Monahan is 21 points. The spread between Eichel and McHobo is 158 points.
Eichel and Monahan are very comparable. Style of play is different, but production is very similar. Those who believe that Eichel comes here and turns into the answer to McHobo are in for a massive disappointment. Eichel is a very good player, but not in that same class as McHobo. Eichel is in the same band of players as Seguin, Bergeron, O'Reilly, Toews, Schenn, and Couturier.

Lmao, if you think Eichel and Monahan are comparable I don't know what to say. Monahan has also had much better linemates than Jack Eichel..Go to any hockey expert and ask them if Monahan is on the same level as Eichel and you will get laughed out of the room. Monahan is a good player but this is just a flat out ridiculous comparison.
