Last season, Eichel potted 24 goals and 57 assists in 61 games played. He missed the first 21 games of the season due to a dastardly high ankle sprain injury which he suffered the day before the season opener versus Montreal.

81 points in only 61 games last season! I honestly had no idea Eichel had such a productive season. If this info wasn't coming from Garth, you'd probably think it didn't even happen.

He'll get paid no doubt, but I'm pretty sure it won't be for Connor McDavid money

He missed the first 21 games of the season due to a dastardly high ankle sprain injury which he suffered the day before the season opener versus Montreal. Eichel averaged .93 points per game despite his serious injury. A healthy Eichel is expected to finish in the NHL Top 10 scoring race this season.

How did he miss out on that bonus then? I mean, he clearly outscored Draisaitl.

Eichel is good, but he isn't on the same level as McDavid. If he gets 10 million you can be sure the lockout will happen.

8 for 8 sounds about right.

He does make a little side cash with the Wyld Stallyns...

Wait I thought the hockey world moved on from Gionta a couple of years ago?

How does a player provide much needed stability during a tank? I don't understand. Like if he wasn't there they might have won by mistake?

Anyway B.Gionta has had a great career. Seems like yesterday he was the exciting new Devil. Wherever he ends up I wish him good luck.

What has Jack done to have earned $10 mil per year??? Stamkos is at $8.5.

I do not know of a single Sabres fan that are hoping Gionta signs.

Gionta has scored 589 career goals and 599 assists in 1,006 career games played.

Wow! Those are HOF numbers. 589 goals? That's nearly a 50 goal /96 point per year pace. Sign the boy up!

Unfortunately Garth added 300 to each of his goal and assist totals. Close enough

How do you know it was a life long dream of his to play for Buffalo? He has never once said that. He's from Rochester, not Buffalo. While they are only 70 miles apart in distance, they are a completely different city with different people and fanbase.

Why do you continue to make crap up, Garth? You lie like a rug, and your facts are always so off! I don't get how you get to contribute to the same site as Pachula. If I was him, I would be too embarrassed to work for the same company.

I don't like the idea of Eichel in a helicopter near mountains.

How do you screw up Giontas career stats so bad? How?

He hasn't earned 10 mil, but it's called market value. Being the face of a market and putting up good numbers will get you there nowadays. Stamkos would have been right there with McDavid if he was inching towards free agency this offseason, it's all about timing! It's happening right now with my Bruins, there is no reason Pastrnak shouldn't be re-upped by now, but these McDavid and Kuznetsov contracts have probably thrown a wrench into whatever discussions have taken place.

There wasn't a single intelligent thing said in this whole blog. It was like when researchers get those AI programs to write a paragraph about whatever it wants and structurally the sentences are kind of coherent but everyone is like, what the (frank) is this thing talking about?
