The Ottawa announcers last night pondered if Jack "the Yeichel" Eichel would be a full time center this year in the NHL. He had a lot to work on last year but will he actually make the transition? 

 

What say you SS, will Jack Eichel our #2 center for 81 games last year, finally step up and be center for 82 games this year? Or will he be like Nathan Gerbe who just never managed to play a full season at center? (Shrader come back, we miss you  :cry: )

The comments from the TSN guys last night were uninformed and wacky. With due respect, this is not a topic worthy of discussion.

I would be willing to bet that he plays about 80% of the time at center, and 20% of the time at centre.

With all due respect to Thorny, Miller and Ferraro are among the best in the business -well-connected and well-informed. Before TSN lost the NHL rights, they were probably the network's number one national team.

 

It was an odd comment, to be sure,offered without context, but it certainly is getting far too much attention here.

It may have come out of Jack playing out of position at the World Cup and/or a conversation they were privy to about that.

Right. Was odd but I bet that's all it was.  They are covering 30 teams, got to cut them a little slack.  Still not as bad as Pierre rambling about some random player's hat trick in his first game on JV for his high school in 2008 in New Jersey under the tutelage of Coach____. Unbelievable!
