There are risks I would take but we can't pretend this is a healthy player either. He may never be the same.

For sure we could be looking at this in 1-3 years and thinking we absolutely dodged a bullet there.
For me with how all in this team is by hiring Sutter, potentially walking Johnny to UFA, Tkachuk being able to walk to UFA in a year, having Markstrom in his prime they are win now. Getting a 25 year old elite player makes sense to me even with the risks. Now is the time to be fully all in. Eichel if healthy makes this team a cup contender and I think it is worth taking the risk.
