100% rests on what Eichel is when he comes back...nobody can say anything else with certainty.
What if he never plays again?

Honestly the 6-1 record means nothing to me at this point other than just enjoying the ride and I don't think it should figure into consideration of the risk and whether they wanted to take it on or not. It's way too small of a sample size. I truly hope it keeps up, but I'll judge the season on its sum at the end. They were amazing two years ago and got completely worked in the playoffs and the only thing that matters when it comes down to it is playoff success and winning the Cup or at least going on a deep run.
For me Coleman Gio are the only major changes. I like Gudbranson, Pitlick and Vladar so far but to me none of those moves are hugely substantive. Sutter coming in is probably the most impactful change they've made since signing Markstrom and I do really like that move. If you're consistently not winning playoff series' deep, change something should be the bottom line.
