Like everyone else has said, Detroit shouldn't be gunning for Eichel. He would force the rebuild to speed up which isn't a good thing. Detroit could use high picks in the loaded drafts. Plus, they keep their picks and are basically guaranteed a potential franchise cornerstone at best and an elite player at worst (assuming the players live up to their projections). Additionally, whoever they get with their picks will line up with the Detroit window much better.
Eichel is coming up at that age where the only teams that should be going for him are already in their window or are entering it. Detroit, Anaheim, Ottowa, etc shouldn't be going for him.
