Still think there's a handful of teams that could beat any offer we put forth, but we should be trying our best to land this guy if he's available-He's one of the best young players at the most important position in hockey. Grab him now, and fill in the roster whatever way you can. If you have a true #1C, then you don't have to worry about being one of the many teams looking for a #1C.

You also can't underestimate how big of an improvement a sniper like Andrew Mangiapane could make with a playmaking center setting him up for one-timers all game. Eatbread is already a solid scorer playing with a guy like Backlund, but give him Eichel and he's probably a
star.
It's a totally different team with Jack Eichel.
