for years, everyone said Jack can play with anyone


spread it around


jack can make them better



it doesn't go both ways



either jack can make slightly above average wingers better stat wise, like mcdavid, crosby, matthews, taveres, seguin etc

or he can't


I still think Jack has a lot of growing up to do , on and off the ice and he really needs to work on his D


not a dig, just an assessment of his play the last 4 months
- homiedclown

Agreed 100%

Even though EDM sucks. Nobody can stop McDavid or Draisitil.

Why can’t we excoect Eichel to be in the same level.

I have growing concerns with Eichel.
At 10mm per, I need more.

scoring 1 goal or less in 4 of your last 5.
Where is your star center?

Nobody is saying its all on Phil, but he brings nothing to the table as far as turning this team around, I mean come on just look at the lines ups on a nightly bases.
Mean while teams with real NHL coaches (Aka islanders) are in the playoffs when they were projected to be one of the worst teams.

We need a head coach to start to turn this around, that's 1A, 1B is some of this roster NEEDS to go away.... 1C they need to get a great player or players in this draft and sign at least two serviceable NHL players this off season.
As homie said Jack needs to grow up, actually most of this team does.... and they all need to work on defense Esp the forward group.

So we all want to see Jack smile as he is swallowing his $hit sandwich? he is 22, and has been playing on a crap team for 4 years. The kid has never lost like this in his life and we are suppose to expect him to be happy about it or for that matter mature? I am a passionate fan and I want to throw a franking brick throw my TV on a nightly basis. jack should be steaming mad every game at his front row seat to the Poop show...

He be signed already IMO .

Not necessarily ...but no sense in getting excited either way. they are going to have some money available this off season let's see what they do with it.

no I expect the Caption to lead by example... what has your caption done these last 12 games?? jack is a good player, but he need to grow the (frank) up. 10 million is not a salary good players get, it a salary GREAT players get. He is not, not yet. he's soft as hell in his defensive zone coverage. Smile don't smile I don't give a (frank) if he does or doesn't... he being paid to lead this team, LEAD it.

He is apart and the captain of this poop show....
- ImThatGuy

yes and he is also the BEST player on the team by a mile... We are placing blame on a player who IMO is not the problem.

so what if he's the best player.... that doesn't excuse him from being better. he is not a 10 million a year player, he need to be better, just like everyone else on this crap team.

congratulations Jack you're the best player on the 4th worst team in the NHL... whipp-a-dee-doo.

yes and he is also the BEST player on the team by a mile... We are placing blame on a player who IMO is not the problem.

1 goal or less is 8 games this month.
Shut out 5 times.

For 10mm and being captain I need him to step up and take charge.

Again, EDM may suck, but Draisitil, McDavid are unstoppable.

Why can’t I expect the 10mm captain to do the same?

So I guess Career highs in Goals, Assist and points means nothing. The whole team has done nothing the last 12 games but lets blame our best player for not single handily carrying the team to wins.

So lets trade our best players, Frank it get rid of them all and we can field a team of a bunch of Tage Thompsons.. 60 shot attempts a game with only 7 on net.....

dahlin will probably leap jack next season


IMO his season is more impressive

you can expect whatever you want... But in realty jack is Jack, Not leon or Mcjesus.

Because in the last 12 games the team quit. Including Eichel.

no one is saying trade him, we are saying step up and be a captain. Go be better.

- homiedclown

I agree with you with Dahlin's season this year being better then Jacks...

If Jack is not even Leon, this team is royal fvcked.

- hehateme

he is the captain though


not trying to throw a log on the fire, just stating fact

jack eichel is the captain on the team that has it's worst record ever in their existence, the last 4 months

what do you expect Jack to do? He plays on a one line team. All the other team have to do is stop his line and we don't have talent to score on other lines.

First it was bylsmas fault now it’s Housley’s fault. Next year it will be the new coaches fault.

When do we start looking at the best players on this team and asking if they’re good enough

the worst part, they added montour and got worse on the ice


I fully expected them to miss the playoffs in Mid December

I did not expect them to no longer compete from mid december on and sink to an all time low

it's a 1 line team, I get it

teams will try to shut that line down


that does not excuse the d for being worse
the goalies to suck
the other 3 lines to suck
and the top line not hustling back to play d, and I am including skunk in this
