i don't see how that would be an upset... Pens/Isles would be a 50-50 series

If you don't think Crosby and Malkin and Pittsburgh Penquins being eliminated by the New York Islanders would be an upset, you need to try harder

Have you seen Pittsburgh's D?

Their depth is a catastrophe right now with all the injuries.

Super draft?
After McDavid.....the talent level drops back to normal.
It may be deep top 10 draft....but its not super draft yet.

Isles are a head of them in the standings JJ.. Just sayin.

He will be better than McDavid. He's Joe Thornton 2.0 and McDavid is Bozak 2.0. They said so themselves.

have you been drinking copious amounts of Vodka today?

here is a comp of Mcdavid and Eichel...production based on playing in the same leagues.

they may not be as far apart as we think

Brown leading the AHL in rookie scoring, but if Nylander started the season in the AHL I think he would be leading.. at 18yo

I keep telling you.... all Leafs prospects suck... the moment they are either drafted or signed... all hockey skill is evaporated.

please don't forget this.

Who is the NHL player your play would most likely be compared to: "Tyler Bozak because he is a good skater and is more of a pass-first type of guy."

Who is the NHL player your play would most likely be compared to: "Joe Thornton."

They are very very close.
- BINGO!

Eichel would be the undisputed #1 pick in most draft years.

This is Ovechkin/Malkin all over again.

They are very very close.
- BINGO!

and it needs to stay that way, as in McDavid in Toronto and Eichel in Buffalo. Nice and close so that the non-stop comparisons can be made for the next 15+ years.

I like Kylington's answer better.

Who is the NHL player your play would most likely be compared to:

"No one"

I really like Connor Brown. I've thought he has what it takes to be an NHL scorer since I saw him play at a prospects game a few years ago

Only because of the pens injuries.

I think Stamkos/Doughty was a nice year as well. 2 elite players at the top of the draft

but they have identical records and Pittsburgh has not had a lot of recent playoff success. i'm just not seeing Pittsburgh as this NHL super power anymore.

Health. Was the big factor this year again, for the Pens. If they get healthy, they will be trouble.
