Anyways, I'll just go back to enjoying the season, let's just win the cup so we won't have to look back at this ever again. Deal? Deal.

Win a title this season and Eichel becomes Brett Hull.
Better win.
No sense picking in the top-3 rounds this year, and we’ve probably got to have noteworthy contributions from at least Zary and Pelletier, and maybe Coronato as well.
Post Script edit:
And as Mangiapane scores his 16th goal (on 29% shooting) and 3rd assist tonight, it remains baffling that he wasn’t on the table for this player.
Love him. I do. Awesome 6th round pick.
He’s older than Eichel and has 261 fewer points.
Just imagine explaining this to people 3-5 years from now.
“Well, you have to understand, he was on the long list for Team Canada after being the MVP of the World Not in the Playoffs championship, so obviously we couldn’t include him for a player who would be Team USA’s presumptive #2C behind Auston Matthews when healthy.”
Makes perfect sense. Not at all someone you sell high on.
