Then you have about 6 that one can make an argument are around the same (maybe better, maybe worse) as Eichel

Point
Scheifele
Barkov
Aho
Pettersson
Barzal

What is the value of a young center that is anywhere between the 5th to 10th best at his position for his age group and makes 10 million a year? Is he a guy you give up most of your remaining prospect base for? Is he a guy you give up some of your limited depth for?
Do you guys really think Eichel wouldn't have 100+ points playing with McDavid and 30 mins a night (and spare me the lies that they don't play together)

Drai is a really good player but I think sometimes he is over rated. What 70% of his points had McDavid on the ice last year? Imagine the room you get...Ty Rattie looked like the second coming for a while there.
