Wasn't a big fan of him pre-injury and my opinion hasn't really changed for the better since. He's good, but seems consistently ranked like 10-20% too high. Doesn't help that he's also extremely unlikeable.
COVID cut that season short, not injury.The very next year however he began to show his true colors, the pre draft hype eichel has arrived. He came out determined more than ever showing he was n elite top ten talent. He could go end to end snipe any corner from anywhere the speed, keep away and dangle ability with the vision finally he had his Mackinnon like click looking unstoppable however the season was cut short due to another injury finishing with 68 games 36 goals 42 assists for 78 points with a fully healthy season he assuredly would have broken the 40 goal barrier and cracked 90 points scratching at 100 points.
Ahh my bad, I remember we were on the the verge of playoffs that year and sabres barely missed the play ins due to tie breaker I believe thank you for the correction.COVID cut that season short, not injury.
That's my sentiment as well would be good for the league to have another high end talent that's also American along with Matthews for marketing purposesJack Eichel’s skill level is jumps out at you. The casual explosive skating, the puck handling, shot arsenal. Everything is super high end and you can see why he was hyped. Individually this guy has it in him to be a 100 plus point player but has never gotten close. I think it would be good for the game if he broke out statistically and rejoined that conversation of elite centers of this generation.
