I know he put up elite numbers this year but I preferred his style of play in his first three years in the league compared to the last three. Played with a lot more tenacity and lived up to those draft year scouting reports about him being elite below the hash-marks and along the boards. Became more reliant on a skill game later on and lost some of those qualities that made him great IMO.

Really makes me wonder if Tkachuk for Eichel was on the table.
