Mark Stone, who I think is arguably the best RW in the game, was 26 and a pending UFA. Also don't think he's on the same level as Eichel when he's at his best.
Pronger was over 30.

You said best player in 15 -20 years. You are dead wrong. Now you are moving the goal posts. No one said anything about age. Is Eichels injury just a non-factor? You talk about eichels draft potential vs. Seguin draft potential instead of what Eichel is now and what Seguin was at 21. You say thing like Eichel is better than Stone (if he's a 100%) which he isn't!. All those players were better than Eichel is now. Pronger was 30? So, at least he didn't have major neck surgery. Remember what happened to Langkow?
