Seems the majority is so high on him and truthfully I haven't seen much of him playing, the games I have seen he never did stand out even the slightest. He is young so I'll continue to be patient. I just hope he isn't all hype.

Even if this turns out to be the case, we're not giving up an Eichel. Markstrom's been great and we know he is fairly consistent, but he's also not going to singlehandedly drag this team deep into the playoffs. To get someone like Mercer while also getting out of his contract, all while he gets a bit older every year, huge win IMO.
