Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 47 minutes ago, BCHabnut said: LA, Las Vegas are 2 other teams which won with very good forwards. But no superstar Perhaps, but I would gladly take a superstar up front (preferably a young one) and see if we could make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once again the substitute for the superstar, is a guy who can erase the other team's best player. Vegas has Marc Stone, who is probably the best defensive winger in the NHL and a selke finalist. Also Eichel to me is just below that level and with 36 points in 32 games so far this season, might just have taken that jump last year in the playoffs after being just short of it on a terrible Buffalo team, and then battling the neck injury. Hes settling in now and may be that superstar. Yes. No doubt Eichel has taken a step to elite. The selke caliber forward is a good observation.

He was close to a point a game in the playoffs last year, and looks like he will probably be at least PPG going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he made the jump to elite at that time (as that's pretty close to 100 point pace... (97 points per 82 games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MvDavid-Eichal draft is about as close as you can get to Ovechkin-Malkin. I think Eichal can probably top 100 points. its too bad we never have sucked in a year it paid off to suck.
