I'm playing the odds based on when most players have their peak years and the fact that the type of injury he has is commonly a career changer. We wouldn't be paying for what Eichel has done, but what he will do.
Two goals in 21 game this year is potentially a huge warning sign. He went from a 44 goal pace last year to an 8 goal pace (over 82 games). That has to be a huge concern for future projections.
