The more this drags out, the more nervous Treliving is making me. There is a huge hole on D and the top 6 isn't really changed much at all. The team is different from last year but I don't think they're different enough. I really want to see some kind of change but I don't want the team to sacrifice much of the future in order to make that change. They won't rebuild so getting Eichel is the next best bet IMO. If they did get Eichel there is a chance he doesn't play much of this season, they would likely have to get rid of a top 6 player on the roster in a trade so overall they would be out a current top 6 player and not get one back on the roster for a while which would make them not that great ths year IMO. I hope to God they don't trade away a 2022 first rounder or if they do, it should be protected. I would rather give up 2 unprotected firsts instead of next year's pick unprotected.

If Eichel falls through, I have a feeling the team will enter a slow rebuild. I don't think it's that bad of an idea but I just think Eichel is this core's last chance. I don't see any other player being available that would help this team enough.

This all just feels like the team has no real direction. I hope they pull something together and help this team move in the right direction. Eichel and next year's first should really help.
