I think all the talks about him being generational can be buried now. It's not even about him being bad or looking a bit off, he's literally a burden to his team. He played 10 mins against Capitals, had -2 and was benched. I think it's safe to say that once four-headed monster is now three-headed (3 other young d-men who must not be named).
And sure, feed Eichel on the PP and get 30-40 points but that doesn't change the fact that he is just not very good d-man at the moment. Talent and skill is there, but if he was nearly as good as advertised, he'd shine in any team. It's his 3rd season already so there are no excuses, so far people have been referring to his high ceiling when he hasn't been on the same level with Makar etc. but c'mon.
