Jack Eichel is an immensely talented hockey player. He's also very flawed in the sense that he only competes when he feels like it, and has a consistent tendency to stop playing throughout games. This guy coasts around more on a shift to shift basis than any other star player in the NHL.
He in no way, shape, or form should be a captain of an NHL organization, and I don't think it's a coincidence that they have lacked an identify as a team since he was given the keys to the franchise.
He has franchise changing skills, but he certainly has not shown the ability to be a franchise altering contributor (atleast at this point).

McDavid has missed the playoffs 6 times...he isn't all there I guess
