And what does this have to do with Eichel and Eichel being a better player? Connor McDavid, who people believe Eichel is in the same strata, hasn't complained about crap defense or bad goaltending as he ripped apart the NHL on the offensive side of the puck. As bad as the Oilers are, being outscored year-after-year, McDavid has been a minus player only twice in his career. The guy is +51 playing on the Edmonton Oilers and has made guys like Chaisson and Kassian passable first line players. Eichel? He's -69 and has made no one look good. If Eichel is half the player people suggest, he should be dominating while he's on the ice, not being dominated.
