If Jack plays like this the rest of the life of his contract, Oh hell yeah it will be the best value out of the three....

3.65M is overpayment

Reinhart should take league minimum and (frank)ing like it

part of that is the leafs had JT fall into their lap


it scares me what Jack could become with a decent second line center


ror was brought here 3 years too early

- homiedclown


Mitch Marner is a top 20 player in the NHL right now. If he’s was working the right side of our PP, Eichel would be able to tee off like batting practice just like Matthews. Tavares is the third best player on that team... Hides

See this is the problem.

Acting like anyone has said he’s overpaid this year.

I’m just going to post every time Eichel has a point

Jack’s not even reached his potential yet... he’s only 22 years old.

I am like a kid at Christmas waiting to see how much hurt that Toronto is going to be in when they have to sign the M&M boys & Kapanen. I think they will have 70% of their cap in the top 6 forwards...

They can’t keep Kapanen and nylander... if they don’t win the cup this year or next they are in huge trouble...


The smart move is to trade someone and hope they draft well with the picks and prospects to keep the bottom 6 stocked...

It's a joke...

Sorry if it went a bit over the head there, thought it was obvious sarcasm.

Edit: Anyone who talks ill of Eichel deserves that response.

I'm sure the Sabres look at sam again at center.

They would be foolish to not give it a second look.

Thing is, we're winning. Why change anything?

- Boss34


True
But you’d think that winning with only 1 line scoring isn’t sustainable against the better teams
Better to tinker with the lineup now,
than in the playoffs

Yes, i said PLAYOFFS!!!

How about in a week or 2 or February or march?

But not the playoffs or when we are in 4th overall in the NHL.

Just a couple other options

I forget sometimes that it's beginning to look like we're a lock for the post season. This is crazy.

We spent 8 years from '07-'15, and 3 more while Eichel ramped up to have an elite 1C, and I'm swapping that for a 28 year old center and a 32 year old center?

Why

- jcragcrumple


I’m not saying do it
But if we did,
it would be so that we have more than 1 line scoring

There’s other ways to build the depth we need
It would just be a potential option

That said...
I’m not calling for Jack to be traded
And i doubt anyone would offer us even close to enough for us to seriously consider it
For all intents & purposes,
Jack is basically untouchable

It's ok to think eichel is better then Matthew's, regardless of contract value.

After 4 more points tonight, we'll check back with you

The comment you just quoted had nothing to do with that. Matthews is making elc money this year.....

There is no amount that is enough to trade a top-5 center who is within spitting distance of Canada's national treasure in Edmonton. You don't trade that guy for anything. You tell the other GMs to pound salt

Let the hate flow through you

So just don’t even pick up the phone and listen? I will never agree with that.
