Thread: Is Tage Thompson the 1C solution long-term?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stammer_Time91</b></div><div>I'm gonna argue Eichel as an elite center. He's probably an elite player, but I don't think he's an elite center. He's a career 44.6% faceoff guy who has never even cracked 50% in a season. And I dont think he's a good/responsible/motivated defensive player. He's great offensively, but I think to be considered elite or even a top 20 center in the league, you have to be above 50% career with faceoffs, and you have to be excellent defensively.</div></div>

Yeah, just like McDavid. Elite player, but McDavid isn't a center he is a winger or something that isn't a center. McDavid is worse defensively than Eichel and his career faceoff is idk...47%?
So Mcdavid is the #21 center in the league and Eichel #22. top 20 players though overall.

I hope you understand what I am getting at.

Genially going to miss him but it was time to move on and glad the trade drama is finally over excited to see what they do we the new cap space</div></div>

Yeah, one of those players you hope will flourish in a new environment. Hopefully he can strike up some of that old chemistry he had with Aho and maybe go on a bit of a run here.
