Alright. Well, sheesh. Is there any talking to you on this? Should i bother trying? I’ll give it one shot.

There is just no debate that pastrnak is the superior player. I’ll leave McAvoy out of this because defensemen compared to forwards is hard, but I think if you tried to do some digging, you would struggle to find a way to argue that eichel is a batter player other than, “ohhhh but he’s a center.” Well, he’s not exactly a defensive prodigy so I’m throwing that one out.

Since entering the league Eichel is under a point per game. Pastrnak over.
One of these two players lead the league in goals last season. It wasn’t eichel.
Eichel is like 25th or something in points per game since entering the league. Pastrnaks far ahead of that, and what’s kind of funny to me is that everyone ahead of eichel has a positive +/-. A flawed stat to be sure, but eichel being -66 is kind of eye opening.

Ohhhh but pastrnak has better linemates! That’s the next argument right? Eichel gets more ice time. More opportunity. Points per 60? Not great. He’s 98th, and actually behind Jake Debrusk. Pastrnak is 8th.

Eichel is a heck of a player, any team would love to have him, but man...you’ve gotta look at what he is. He’s not McDavid. If he was as good as you think he is, the Sabres wouldn’t suck. The Sabres suck, and they’ve sucked every second he’s been there.
