If the Coyotes are trying to move their franchise, why not sell it to us?

No need to sell the farm when you've got a kid like Eichel available to you as well. I liked his game during the Worlds. I think he's more than ready to make the jump to the NHL.

Agreed and I also think he'll surprise some.

Been a while since the organization has had someone this good..

I really hope management did give away all our plans to babcock while trying to lure him here. That would really suck now that he's coaching for the enemy.

I like the type of game he plays. I think it's going to translate to the NHL very well. It's going to take him a little time to adjust and at some point during mid-season we'll probably see him go through a rough patch because he's not used to the rigors of an NHL schedule. But when all is said and done I think he's going to have a very good rookie year. He just played with guys that are typically 3rd and 4th liners while at the Worlds and it didn't seem to cause any issues for him offensively.
