To date though, he has fallen short.

He was good, he was the reason for excitement. But coming into that draft was.

Don't worry if we don't get McDavid, Eichel will be close to as good.

oh for sure, but thats more because mcdavid might possibly be the best player ever, less so than jack isn't a franchise center

i feel like we're going to be sickened by the answer to this once he leaves because its going to be a resounding yes

he didn't here...just as ror never lived up to expectations...even skunk, as a no. 2 overall, didn't live up to that status...he has been very, very good but not a game changer save for a couple of short stints

You think Risto positively impacted games to the extent of Jack Eichel?

I'd say there's serious question whether Risto positively impacted games to any extent, let alone the elite level of 2019-2020 Jack Eichel
