Ek9 scored 69 goals in almost 3 years.

Mostly with eichel. How many goals were with out jack?

30- 35? Basically 10 a year?

- Boss34


Idk how to look up that stat?
But it sure didnโ€™t seem like he was scoring tons more when on a line with Jack

Iโ€™m sure the totals look like that,
but he also spent more time with Jack than on other lines

I think your point rang more true with Skinner & Pommer than with Kane

The fact that you typed this makes it pretty clear you have the sabres goggles on.

If you take Eichel over McDavid then that's utter stupidity and youre lying to yourself. There are lots of other players that are better then Eichel who I wouldn't take over McDavid and that's no insult to Eichel, he's good.

- Archaic

It has nothing to do with rose colored glasses and everything to do with providing at least a reasonable argument that the gap isn't a huge as people are making it. Yes, he's McJesus, generational, crazy good...OFFENSIVELY. As a Canadian, and clearly more knowledgeable because the game was invented there, I would think you would at least recognize the fact that there are more facets to the game than being an offensive wizard.

Oh and by the way its "better THAN Eichel" not "better THEN Eichel"

Nope,

Eichel made ek9 look good.

Remember when some losers on here were saying he was better then eichel?

2 *1st round picks for him?

McDavid MacKinnon malkin Crosby Matthews.
- HealthyScratch6

I said scoring wise....not subjective opinion wise.
Per NHL.com
MacKinnon
Brayden Point
McJesus
Duchene
Eichel
and yes I know, Matthews would be in there if he didn't miss 14 games.

I still donโ€™t get why anything i was saying was so controversial

When he was drafted,
literally EVERY expert said he was gonna need time to develop

Ppl acted like i said he should be moved to TE

- jdfitz77


It wasn't. Apparently some are allowed the rose colored glasses when it fits their needs, but use the term to put others down that are trying to make at least a somewhat reasonable argument to defend a player that's worth every penny he's making.

Just checked that myself.
Tied with Dutch for 4th.

Eichel is gonna blow by him.

1 point behind McDavid, but 10 TEAM points ahead of Edmonton

That is what really matters most- winning

Eichel is 14th among centres in pts per game. Everyone I mentioned has a higher pts per game than him.

Just got back from the game. Very annoying the amount of Leafs fans there. Seemed like more than usual... Had the unfortunate honor of sitting in front of this witch of a woman and her sleazy husband/date? She had a voice like nails on a chalkboard and was making fun of me for showing interest in the game and being loud. Her moronic partner made the dumbest comment ever "The Sabres are scoring fluke goals, Leafs score playoff goals." As 2/3 Leafs goals were scored off of a fortunate bounce...

Beside that fact, we really need to get better forward and defensive depth on this team. Toronto was rolling 3 lines and the Taveres and Matthews lines were just dominate all night. We skate back in fear often, letting them dance into our zone with the puck. It was very annoying. Top line played great but 2nd line with the exception of Sheary was invisible yet again. Okposo and Mittelstadt need to start producing more consistently. I know Casey is young but the 2nd line center needs to get points every other game at least. If he can't do it then bring someone in who can.

Thompson had a rough game and the 3rd line is just an offensive joke. Rodrgiues, Berglund, Girgensons and Larsson all had quality chances to score today. They just don't have the offensive ability. I don't know what were going to do with Sobotka either... We really only need 2/5 of these guys on the team.

Defense is another story. I thought we were mostly good tonight on D but Bogosian was a liability at times as well as Beauleiu on the 1st goal.

Iโ€™m pretty encouraged by what Iโ€™ve seen so far

37 seems like he may not be ready yet, 2nd line center maybe? ???? Hard to say.

Na...
not to the degree that heโ€™s got Skinner on a 60goal pace or Pommer scoring at all

Kaneโ€™s numbers didnโ€™t jump drastically with Jack that Iโ€™m aware of

The thing most people donโ€™t seem to grasp when begging for offer sheets is the player/agent has to sign the damn thing for it to even exist.

Why would Matthews want to play in AZ over a cup contender?

- sbroads24


I can think of 15-20 million reasons.

Depends on how important winning is to him.

It's all irrelevant though. As has been pointed out he's not eligible to be offersheeted.
