Have to look at position also. Would Eichel be a top ten center? Are centers mire valued? All legitimate questions. For me it's not Eichel that's wrong with the team. It's goaltending, young players still developing in the NHL and quality depth. I'm pretty happy with our top forward line makeup. Several bottom six guys are marginal NHL players. Our defense even with McCabe has room for improvement. Bryson has been a pleasant surprise and Dahlin is beginning to show what was expected. I would swap Risto out but even there for who? My take is this is a team problem not a leadership or Eichel problem. But I've seen the development of Cozens and Mitts as hopeful signs as well as a few others that we're not that far from a playoff team. VO I'm undecided think he could be part of a trade. Not sure.
