Today's the day we start to see whether or not Jack Eichel hockeys as good as everyone says he does.

I think the only issue might be him holding up playing a whole NHL season.

Could always hope he puts in Miller-esque performances and Makes 40 saves while allowing 3 goals and load up on points that way? just playing devils advocate. (my goalies are Price and Elliott)

I know you said start, but so many people are going to either anoint him a god due to a good performance (and then later ridicule when it doesn't maintain), or laugh at a bad/blah performance.

with all the hype will it get in his head if he doesn't score much early?

Headline on NHL.com: "Leaf's Babcock wins first coaches challenge"

my immediate thought: "The only thing the Leafs will win all year"

I was kind of hoping for a comeback from the Leafs last night, so I could see the start of the October/November Cup Champs.

I won't be shocked if he scores 2 goals tonight, nor will I be shocked if he's utterly invisible.

Not sure. Was talked about yesterday on GR. He was gassed during the world play and also during the preseason games.

Cup worthy for sure.

The architecture geek in me always pops out when I see stuff like this - stadium renderings, building renderings...hell, I've even bought homeplans books just to look through!

If those are true we have zero chance at playoffs

One thing I've learned about Jack is that he needs to adapt, but he does it very quickly. World Juniors. Dev Camp. Rookie showcase. Preseason.

He usually starts off a bit slow, but he's a steam engine and I'd bet he becomes a runaway train by mid season.

Teuvo and Drouin are available in my league. Counts hits as well. I have Anders Lee. If you could have one of those 3 players, who do you choose?

One game hotshot. I picked him up off waivers as my third G. He looked great in preseason. Hoping it carries over.

In saying that, yeah, it would have been nice to get him instead.

Terravainen personally, but Drouin could be one of those sleepers
(says the guy that doesn't play fantasy at all).

Correct. He was with Toews and Hossa.

I decided to take 3 in my league. I always seem to end up with 3 by the end of the year anyway. I have Bishop, Bobrovsky and Pavelec. Pavelec was my last round selection.

Wow, they really think that Ennis only improves by 4 goals and 2 assists? I get the reasoning they put, but I still think he has a better year than a combined 52 points.

They look pretty accurate to me. Suppose you could make the case that Eichel's should be lower and Reinhart's higher but the total goals for would put us somewhere around the middle of the nhl. And i assume the goals against would be at or near the bottom.
