9 of Eichel's goals last year were game winners, good for third best in the league. This is an elite player needing a change.

I haven’t seen enough of his play to say what kind of linemates he needs.
Game winning goals isn’t a stat that means a whole lot though. Lots of “insurance” type goals can turn into the game winner. I actually would put more stock in numbers for scoring first in a game, because the stats on winning games where that happens are so good.
