Who cares about Eichel, he is just a bonus. The real take is the 1st we thought would be late is looking nice.

Has Vegas quietly turned into one of the more dysfunctional franchises in the league?

*MAF debacle
*Lehner-DeBoer saga that's happened over the past few days. Insane.
*Completely mismanaged salary cap.
*Failed Dadonov trade.
*Almost certain to miss the playoffs when they were considered by many to be a cup contender.

Maybe, but winning changes everything. They may fire Pete to save face. But that lineup should be back to contender status next year.

"The Knights thought Eichel was the final piece to get them over the top, even if they cut out even more of the foundation to add him. Well, that boulder is rolling down the hill pretty heavily right now and Eichel is lying with his Richard in the dirt."

Yup. This. 14-16 pick should be a very nice player. Draft that and our pick and package Fla’s with Johnson for a young RD

He’s going to have a Taylor hall career. Nothing special in Buffalo (EDM) traded to Vegas (NJ) put up a few non meaningful seasons there, then become a FA later in his career and be ho hum. Hyped up because he was 1B to mcdavid. Not even close to what he was talked about. He’s an all star player with injury problems. Nothing more. Won’t even make the hall of fame.

Yeah, when you're paid Patrick Kane money, the expectation is Patrick Kane points, regardless of linemates

Kane's never had an elite (offensive) center

Weird!

And it should be noted that their prize claim of this season, Eichel, has been dogshit lately.

Duuuuuude

Jack: No points in the last 4 games.

All jokes and snark aside, he has to be hurt, right? That's just astounding.
- Slump Buster

Not really, both Jesus and Matthews have 3 game streaks this year without points and they're 1 and 5 in points.

Are you saying Jack hasn't played with great players? Because again reality disagrees with you.

None were "Great" while here.

Those pointless streaks didn't come with their team's playoff chances in the balance. This is the most important stretch of games in the guy's career.

Skinner was pretty great

I get the hate on Eichel the guys a POS. I do hate him as a person.

Do not discredit how good of a hockey player the guy is when 100% healthy though.

Don't forget NHL all star Zemgus Girgensons

For 1 year then Ralph ruined that...

Definitely not an elite offensive player

Plus, JFC, he's barely 5 months out from major neck surgery

Scoring at a 32 goal pace after major surgery and not playing for a year is pretty good

You Troublemaker

Toews...?
- DirtyDan

Isn't really an elite offensive center...

I'd even say Debrincat would be better. Kane with an AM, Barkov, Mac etc would be different.

- DirtyDan

Sure, but as far as I'm concerned Ralph never happened.

I don't know if Tage miraculously learned to not be Happy Gilmore on his own, or if Ralph just beat him down and this is what he really is.

Probably a bit of both if we're being honest
