Vegas before Eichel joined:
2018: Lost in SCF
2019: Lost in 1st round (because of a questionable major)
2020: Lost in WCF
2021: Lost in WCF
2022 (without him in lineup): 28-14-3
2022 (with him in the lineup): 15-14-5, missed playoffs
People acting like Eichel was the messiah and saviour of Vegas who dragged them from missing the playoffs to winning a Cup, when they've been one of the deepest teams in the NHL for years.
He didn't even win the Conn Smythe, that was Marchessault.
Eichel is a great player but people are massively overrating him after these most recent playoffs.
Matthews is a top 5 center, Eichel is outside of the top 10.
