But at the same time there is a definite Taylor Hall vibe about him. Winning just doesn’t seem to follow the guy around. I’m in favor of going after Eichel, but you have to go into these things eyes wide open, and for many I don’t think that is the case. Eichel has not been the magic elixir on any team he’s played for. Just understand what you’re getting in the deal.

I get the same feeling. He’s starting to look like a bit of a diva. He has a broken neck and more than likely won’t be available for the full season next year let alone be able to properly train this offseason.
He’s become like a bag of magic beans on here thiugh. But is he really that great? If he’s that great how come Buffalo has finished in the bottom quarter if the standings since he was drafted. Shouldn’t they have won the cup every single year like we’re going to after we aquire him for a third of our top 6 forwards our best prospect and a few first round draft choices.
If we do pick him up will he walk to Calgary on water?
