What?

Eichel prime was every bit as good as Matthews. Matthews just got drafted by a team that tanked/rebuilt in the most successful way.

IMO Jack is actually better, but even if you wanna split the difference and call them equals, there's still the fact that Eichel is a righthanded shot. Among our best forwards:


Gaudreau - L
Mangiapane - L
Lindholm - R
Tkachuk - L
Backlund - L
Coleman - L
Dube - L
Monahan - L
Lucic - L
Pitlick - R

Eight of ten are left shots. Only one of the two right shots belongs on the powerplay.

A star RHS forward who will be on PP1 would be a huge addition in terms of pure value-added compared to Auston Matthews.
