I think that’s selling pretty low on him. He was 4th in Hart votes a couple years ago. He’s one of the most skilled and dangerous players in the league and the stats back that up. I think he can be the centerpiece of a team, but, he needs more help. Even a first ballot hall of famer in Iggy needed help and we weren’t able to get that for him.
The elite teams in this league don’t put all their eggs into one basket. I think the Flames should do everything they can to nab a Jack Eichel without eliminating the current top line. That would give the Flames 2 top scoring lines and I think would instantly propel them into elite team territory.
