No doubt Barzal looks much better than Eichel right now, and his scoring pace is accelerating.  I still think Eichel is hurt.  

Along with Barzal, the Islanders drafted Baeuvillier with the 30th pick of the first round in 2015.  Nice picks and both have developed nicely.  

Hoping we can get #1 for Hall at the deadline.  

I certainly hope he's injured and this isn't future Eichel.

And... we could get that #1 for Hall, but we'd probably just flip it for our next Montour like we did with the #1 for Kane.

Bryson continues to impress me with his puck handling and skating.  His breakouts out of our zone are better than anybody else's

So far he looks like he can play in the league. I hope he has a long career.

This season, it's no comparison. Career --- yeah, he would appear to be the more complete player than Eichel. He's about 100 GP fewer than Eichel, but is on track to have more points by the time he gets to Eichel's current GP.

Not really. If we are making this a points thing, Eichel points per GP over his career is .95 and Barzal’s is .89

Bryson=Young Spacek?

If his shot comes through, maybe young Woolley as well. A long-time 5/6 PP potential guy. Or a Krug, based on height. That'd be nice.

Mitts should never sit again this season, bring back Thompson and Asplund  as well.  May as well figure out if there is even a sliver of hope for any of them

Exactly. Shouldn't that be the 'continuing to evaluate' mantra that Adams was robotically regurgitating at his presser?

But where is our hockey happiness?

Asplund started the year playing well in all situations for the Amerks. Sitting him on the taxi squad is a waste imo. Get him on the ice.

There's a place for a guy like that

True. I'm just trying to project out another 100 games (this season/next) with Eichel and RaKru, vs. Barzal and Trotz. By the time Barzal is where Eichel is now in age/games played, he'll be better.

Now... we fix the coach/effort issues... Eichel has the potential to be better.
