Eichel has 2 30 goal seasons, Zetterberg has 4 including a 40 goal season. Eichel has one 80 point season, Zetterberg has 3 including a 90 point season. Zetterberg has 3 elite playoff runs and a couple other really good ones. Eichel has one. Zetterbergs best playoff run was the better of the 2 conn Smythe runs

Defensive games aren't close, this poll shouldn't be either. Its Zetterberg

For anyone wondering as I did, Zetterberg had all of those 30-goal seasons, 2 of the 3 80-point seasons, and the Smythe by the time he was Eichel’s age.

Scoring in the NHL was lower in his prime as well, although he did generally have more support offensively in his prime compared to Eichel.

This season's Eichel is worthy of a comparison to Zetterberg, but Eichel hasn't been at this level very often in his career.

Z was 2 tiers ahead of Eichel, absolutely insane 2way ability and more productive offensively in a much lower scoring era.

Eichel has rounded his game a lot recently, maybe with a few years like this he can hang with Zetterberg to be honest
