He and McDavid are much different players but I'm not sure that the gap between the two is dramatic.
I see Eichel a bit differently as I don't think he has the same ability to elevate those around him.

I hate the Leafs as much as anyone and found the TSN/RSN love fest for him extremely annoying but that aside the kid had a hell of a rookie season. I expect a little bit of regression from that team next season but he looks to me like he could be to McDavid like Malkin is to Crosby.
