I feel Eichel is being overrated. Over the last 4 seasons at 5v5 Eichel ranks 22nd among centres in P/60; 28th in G/60; 56th in SAT%; 18th in SAT%-Rel. He doesn't feast on the Power Play either: 18th in PPP/60, 58th in PPG/60.

In pure scoring, among centres over that time he's 27th in goals, 21st in points, and 10th in points/game

He's can't stay on the ice for a full season, over those four seasons he played 79% of the games, and a max of 77/82 in 2018-19. In addition he's got a mysterious neck injury, an utterly miserable relationship with his team, and a 10-million dollar cap-hit.

I offer them Tkachuk, a 1st rounder that's lottery-protected for 2022, top 5 protected for 2023, and Matthew Phillips.
