1 goal in 6 games

1 goal in 8 games

2 goals in 14 games

Last year 4 goals in 25 games

Doesn't set up goals and makes 9 million bucks

Coaches opinion about Jack is all we worry about

Last game he dominated before one period against NJ was Carolina so why he gets so much love is It's like little kids fawning over their favirite super hero.

He's not a Superhero, those are fictional. He's also not my favorite player. He was a player that made the Sabres better that they had to pay to keep because there really was no viable alternative. I am happy they did for the reasons below.

"On the year, 212 forwards have logged at least 300 minutes of ice at 5v5. Skinner ranks 5th in goals, 9th in chances, and 9th in high-danger chances per 60 minutes."

That is a 9M per year hockey player in 2019-20. That over 82 games will get you 30+ goals most of which being 5v5. If it's happening away from Eichel even better. He is, was signed to be and will always be a goal scorer. The stats prove you wrong. Emojis don't make your argument stronger, they make you look childish.

Jack Eichel was once compared to Derek Roy.

Wasn’t worth $10M. Was underachieving until 10 games ago.

The stuff you would have read the last 3 years would have made you cringe.

Saying anything about Reinhart or Skinner though boy watch out.

The expectations for Eichel are some reason vastly different than the ones for Reinhart despite the same draft status.

Weird. I have 40 goals in 82 games last year.

Unless those 25 games are the only ones that counted

- sbroads24


Not sure why he turned it off when it counted in the last 25 games of the year. Not exactly Mr Clutch I guess. Put that in the bucket he's not, thank's for that!!

I noticed Gil left out the first 57 games last year, and first 15 games of this year out of his analysis.

I wonder why?

- sbroads24


Because he is wrong and stats prove it. Hold on......



There, maybe now it'll finally click.

I will refer you to the other post that you completely glossed over about the high ankle sprain he played through at the end of last year.

Oh my god, fine he has 11 goals, we can also say he has 15 goals in his last 53 games. Or 3 in his last 15 games, he's a goal scorer they go through droughts, I understand that, but is it to much to want him to bury some of the chances he is getting.
- Buff36

he is top 5 for goals 5 on 5 , being dropped to a line with scrubs

top 5 for the ENTIRE NHL

Well, the 2 in 14 games is pretty close to the 4 in 25 so I'd be worried. If he couldn't play he wouldn't have played. I'm sorry to critically analyze the golden boy.

Go ahead, critically analyze away. But be consistent. Can’t throw some games out because they don’t fit your narrative. Otherwise your just trying to create a villain. And I guess if skinner is your Sabres villain so be it. Not a hill I’d die on, but you seem perfectly content doing it.

I think he earns all 9 mil no matter if he’s getting hammered after every game and chasing trim all day long as long as he’s playing. The top 5 in NHL ES goals is just a bonus for us simpletons. We are, in fact, not galaxy Brained like the wonder twins

Don't just cherry-pick, Reinhart has been slacking lately too.

Never said anything about Reinhart other then when someone said he’s soft pointed to his 4 goals in 3 games vs TB when they were playing heavy. But hey, you do you and try to make me defend something I never said. Makes for a compelling argument on your end
