He's a point per game player throughout his career. Johnny Hockey was similar stats wise and we consider him one of the best 2 Flames of all time.

He's a few levels above a Kadri, who is a 2nd line center.
Eichel might be barely a top 10 centre. I'd put McDavid, Mackinnon, Matthews, Point, Barkov, Hughes, Crosby at least ahead of him, and you can make an argument for Draisaitl, Aho or Schiefele ahead of him.

And Johnny is not one of the top two Flames all time. Probably not a top 5 player, or even skater. Iggy, Kipper, Newy, Macinnis, Fleury, Nilsson, and arguably Regher were all better. Gaudreau is around Mullen, Suter, Loob or Makarov level for me.
