Similarities: Both franchise players, rhs , under team control, publicly available. Likely to be traded out west.
Seguin was traded along with some spare parts for Louie Erickson and some B prospects. Do you see Eichel being traded for a better package? I'm not sure I do.

Eichel's value is at least 50% hype because he was considered a phenom that only went #2 overall because he was overshadowed by McDavid. There seems to be a lot of resistance to the idea that he did not turn out to be a generational player. He is a VERY good center, like top 10 in the league probably, but he is not a close 2nd to McDavid no matter how much people want him to be.
