Looks like a rw power winger to me

Kane on the right side


He dominated a pp

No goal though

id call it a jbotts bungle if gionta signed with another nhl team and was playing like a competent bottom 6 forward
- Sabresfan-365

He had offers from other teams but declined them to stay in ROC.

He would be better than many of the 2 bottom RW we are using so far.

Despite more O zone starts, Eichel plays the toughest minutes on the team.

If you are matching up against Crosby and McDavid....I don’t care where the face off is

i wonder if there's a site or stat that really weights this. zone start+line matchup+minutes?

How much of them ROR sees plays a factor too. and whether you have first or last change. But that's why I think moving him to Eichel's wing helps him out long term.

I think that’s why a lot of franchise centers become great defensively over time.

They have to when constantly matched up against others with similar skill sets.

Crosby wasn’t always great on D

Maybe. positioning and stick work might get better. How's stamkos defensively? Id compare Eichel's situation to that.

“It’s not for lack of opportunities, teams want to sign him, but he has to decide if it fits into his family situation,’’ Bartlett said. “I think we’ll play it out awhile, see if anything changes in Buffalo, and then decide to go elsewhere or not. But it’s not like I don’t have opportunities for him to play, I do.’’


kind of vague but this is his agent saying that. worth noting

Youre losing track of the real point he is better than the guys who we have had on the ice.
