Eichel is the only reason I still watch this awful team. Eichel @ 10M with inflation and just turning 21 is the least of their worries considering hes one of the only players on this shitty team to put up an offense, he has the tools to be a 10M player but on this team I'm not even sure McDavid would look that great. Technically his contract doesn't kick in until next year anyways.
The team was almost shutout 4 games in a row..and Eichel was the reason they weren't shutout a 4th game. Passing the puck back to the point on this team is just not an option they have 0 goals as a D core, often bobble a basic pass, or fire directly into someones shins for a breakaway. Its like they're playing 3v5 in the offensive zone every game when they already have crappy wingers.
Bogosian, Moulson, and Okposo are all probably untradeable and eating up 17M a year when they literally contribute nothing to this team...irshootpuck Kane cannot be re-signed because of that, which may be a blessing in disguise because every coach has been too stupid to put him on the 3rd line.
I'm hoping Kane and Reinhart get traded this year for D or picks/prospects, they draft a good defenseman with their 1st round pick, Guhle and Mittlestadt become solider NHL players which looks like they will be..and PRAYING Nylander isn't a complete bust (which is looking like he is so far)
