By that logic I suppose Larkin is going to deserve 10m per too then.

I've watched nearly every game with Eichel in uniform...he's a special talent...not quite McDavid-level (yet?,) but pretty damn close

Franchise centers get paid more than wingers

Also the bolded isn't entirely accurate

Taken from:

https://www.coppernblue.c...d-oilers-eberle-draisaitl

The other forward worth discussing here is Leon Draisaitl, who had an outstanding year playing a prominent role on the top line. There’s understandably a lot of hype around him and his importance to the Oilers going forward, and he’s positioned himself to cash-in on a heavy, long-term contract. What’s a little troubling is the fact that both the team’s shot-share and goal-share took a dive when Draisaitl’s was on the ice without McDavid. The 44.2% goal-share is especially troubling considering his on-ice shooting percentage and on-ice save percentage are right around a normal range. I’m optimistic that Draisaitl can be a significant contributor to the Oilers offence, but I’d like to see more evidence of his abilities before the Oilers sign him to an expensive deal.

He scores at the same rate refers to p60. Congrats on finding an article that does not mention p60.

He is going to be the face of the franchise and he is fast and left handed like McDavid. Seems like he earned the money by that.

If you make the decision that Dylan Larkin is the face of your franchise, you aren't going to championships. Eichel has that capability.

That said, I still say that Larkin outplayed Eichel in the 2015 World Juniors.

I'm one of Larkin's biggest critics. My point is the face of the franchise thing is silly.

Have you seen the DET franchishe. There aren't many faces to choose from and there is no championship hope. Mantha is the best player in the system under 25 imo.

Except one produces...

One has the ability to single handedly take over a game...

If you don't think Eichel is better than Dras that's your opinion

I am sure GM's who get paid to do this for a living know a bit more than you...

Eichel is getting more than Dras...

If he doesn't Botterill wins GM of the year

So then you keep going until you get somebody better. The Sabres don't need to do that.
