Eichel was a punk at times,
but i don’t think it was ALL his fault either

Plenty of mistakes were made
Hopefully we don’t screw this coming rebuild up too

I think telling TMGM to hit the gas was the much bigger problem. Can you imagine if he only makes the ROR trade and not the other ones? We would have had a stocked system and a ton of murrency.

no we would be in the same place because he sucked at drafting.. he drafted NO ONE outside of the first round except when the one scout begged him to pick VO

If we did not tank we would be in the same spot but instead of having Eichel and Reinhart to deal, we would have a bunch of meddling vets that have half of the value.

Patty may have been a good hire but the second he disagrees with them they make him leave

It was a smart decision he had a horrible future plan

+ Drysdale (he’s a righty)

That could make for a hell of a top4 defense in a few years w Dahlin & Power & Jokiharju presumably

- jdfitz77



Why would Anaheim ever give up the #3, Zegras AND drysdale for Eichel. That’s pretty laughable

Wonder if they could get the Islanders 1st and a prospect
- Buff36


For risto? Doubt he gets a first or a top prospect without something else coming back

Devil's are on analytics and well risto is not good in that area

I thought the same thing. I think if you can get Zegras, 3 and a decent prospect you take it and run.

His drafting was less than good,
so that’s up for debate
But i get what u mean

Gmtm ended up being a horrible choice
And that’s what killed the rebuild mostly imo

#3 in a weak draft
Zegras & Drysdale are unproven

Eichel is a top10- maybe top5- center


None of us know what teams will be willing to give up- especially when the bidding war commences

Who does? Answer: Nobody. Team would be SOOOO0ooo000OOOOO000 much better off if they didn't fire GMTM because he wouldn't fire Bylsma. That is the moment when the problems started happening. Absolute power went to the son of a female genitalia and there was no relinquishing it.

Like they always say, 3ER isn't always right, but aint never been wrong.
