A few minutes into the third period, Eichel deflects a Somerby point shot and ties the game at 2-2 vs Michigan.

Who is he compared to? I've seen McDavid a bit and he is amazing but I continue to hear a Eichel isn't far behind. So who is a good player comparison?
Also could this be the best 1-2 since 2004?

Eichel has compared himself to Jeff Carter and I think that's the best pro comparison. Big guy who is an excellent skater and is a capable playmaker but will make his mark more as a goal scorer. Not super intense away from the puck but competitive in his own way.
It certainly could be, especially if you are talking about forwards that have gone 1-2. If not, Stamkos-Doughty as a 1-2 is hard to beat IMO.
Thats a pretty decent comparison, though Carter is a bit more of a north south player. I see Eichel as becoming a bit bigger and stronger with much better playmaking ability. Which is why he projects to be such a good player.
I'm one of those people that holds the 2008 in higher regards than the 2004 duo. Stamkos is a better pure goal scorer than Ovi imo, and Doughty is arguably the best dman in the league right now (close between him, keith and Weber imo). I can see 2015 possibly surpassing though because both Mcdavid and Eichel are projected to be generational players, which I can't honestly remember when that has ever happened in a draft.
No offense, but is this a joke? This whole posts reeks of hype train, which I guess is understandable in the prospects forum. At best, if both of these players pan out the way they should and then some, the highest they can really possibly achieve is the status of "generational players" which Ovi and Geno have ALREADY established. Now OVI and Geno are working on adding to their legacy outside of their "Peak." So really at best, we are hoping they match. Realistic expectations would be for them both to become elite producers and top players in the league, and be able to step right in and do that would be impressive in its own right.
One cup between Malkin and Ovi. They can most definitely be surpassed.

WTF? Ovi and Malkin are not generational players by a long shot. Crosby, Lidstrom, Jagr, Roy, Lemieux, Gretzky are the players in recent memory who could be considered generational. Maybe Lindros if he'd stayed healthy. But that's too many, realistically you have to narrow it down to just Gretzky, Lemieux, Roy, Crosby (if he continues to play at a high level for 10 more years) as the players that define a generation.
I would stay away from Eichel as a top pick for now.
I just think its too risky of a pick.
I rather draft a surer thing.
I rather go with the Defenseman Hanifin.

Sorry if this has already been answered but how long does he plan on staying in the NCAA?
