That’s where I’m at. Even if Eichel doesn’t work out, we at least gave it a shot for 5 seasons with him at helm. The core right now is not the core that is going to get us a championship.
I would be very concerned with one thing though: Would Eichel and Sutter get along?
I don’t expect him to re-sign here either. He would be the best center we’ve had in a long time.
