Eichel had 2 goals last year. His career best is 82 points. He has not improved his team in Buffalo, as they have been in the basement pretty much his entire time in the NHL. Buffalo is having an excellent start to the season, without Eichel. He now is having a major surgery to correct his neck.
I am glad the Flames didn't sell the farm on him. I am not sure he is the elite centre everyone thinks he is. He is a very good NHL player, but unable to make a bad hockey team into a poor one.
