Your point totals are nowhere close to being realistic, need to remember at most that it's only going to be a 48 to 60 game season probably need to cut those expectations by a 1/3.

Sorry you lost me when I saw you thought Eichel could get 106 points. His career high is 82. Buffalo fans have always overvalued Eichel. McDavid>Draisaitl/MacKinnon(they're tied or Draisaitl better(hart,ted lindsay, art ross speak for itself))>Crosby>Matthews>Bergeron>Eichel...

Overvalued? Hes a top 10 player in the league. With a better team this year he is getting at least 100...
Well yeah i figured that, but they're not playing an 82 game schedule this season. So you should be basing it on a 60 game schedule instead. Just to be more accurate.
Depends who he is playing with IMO. With Eichel give me at least 30+ for him but with Staal or even on the 3rd line i'm betting on 25ish
my guess is he plays with hall and eichel...if that's the case in a normal 82 game season the kid is putting up 35. two elite playmakers next to someone with the shot that VO has...deadly.
He is not top 10. I do my best to stay unbiased to my team but let's be realistic here. Top 20 sure, not top 10...
Top 10 players in not order: McDavid, Drasaitl, Mackinnon, Matthews, Panarin, Eichel, Pastrnak, Kucherov, Crosby, Kane. Please tell me who is better than Eichel and should be on that list rather than him? You are delusional to think hes not a top 10 player in the league. He takes over games with no supporting cast around him

As an unbiased 3rd party, I'd say Eichel is top 10 and could crack 100 points (in an 82 game season). This past year he had 78 points (36 G + 42 A) in 68 GP. At that pace he *should've* hit 94 points in an 82 game season. He's been getting better every year and with another star player like Hall (even if they don't play together) he could reach higher.
Eichel is for sure a top 10 player. Edmonton would trade Draisatl for Eichel in a heartbeat. The Rangers would do the same with Panarin.
Eichel can reach 100 points this season
Skinner won't get 40 goals though

You’re center rankings are awful, consensus’s top 10 by people who understand hockey is, mcdavid, mackinnon, Matthews,petty,point, Crosby, drai, eichel, malkin,orielly or couturier, Bergeron hasent been a top 10 center in years

Eichel is far better player than Draisatl. He's younger, plays a more complete game and has far less talent to work with in Buffalo and still manages to put up big points. If Eichel and McDavid were on the same team Edmonton would turn into the next dynasty franchise
This is a hill I'm willing to die on and I hate the Sabres

Yes drais D analytics are really bad but he’s the best offensive player in the league according to those same analytics

Right but if his deficiencies nearly wipe out all the positives his offense brings then he's not worth nearly as much Eichel who brings a ton of offense and is still defensively sound.

It surprisingly actually doesn’t, according to analytics and stats he’s so damn good at offense that he makes up for his bad D and then still some, if he was half decent at defense he would be above guys like Matthews petty and point in center ranking

Skinner had a career low shooting percentage and still led the team in quality chances playing with pretty bad players too. He only played with jack the last two games of the season. I think he will have a nice bounce back year. The improvements to the top 6 will help too.

I saw his two way game improve last year, a lot of just because of necessity. The center depth behind eichel last year was below replacement level, most of the forwards not on his line were just useless. I dont see draisitl play enough to comment, but eichels overall game, not just points, took a big step last season.

I'm not saying Draisatl is a net negative to his team but if you don't trust him in the D zone that limits how much value he holds especially when 1C has a similar issue (but his offense is so absurd no one cares). In Edmonton Draisatl usually either plays with the best player in the world or gets to feast on opposing teams 2nd/3rd pair defenseman since the the top pair are usually preoccupied with McDavid. I know he did well when McDavid was out this season but that's still a small sample size.
Eichel does it all with far less support. If he we're on Edmonton it would honestly be disgusting how badly McDavid and Eichel would dominate this league
