Do you even understand how good Jack Eichel is? Zary and Pelletier are prospects, meaning they will likely not even make it to the NHL, nevermind the fact that both also aren't projected as top line players. I would fire them off in a heartbeat, both of them. Eichel is a generational talent, the same tier as guys like Matthews, Panarin, MacKinnon. He already is that. Not a prospect that may very well wind up being nothing, like most typically do. If it turns out we refused to give up 2 of these prospects, I guarantee you we look back on this and say what the #### were we thinking not doing the deal.
