He'll have a girlfriend in every NHL city after he's drafted.
Several, in fact. And most he won't even know about!

Oh no. An 18 year old hit favorite on twitter.

I'm so conflicted. I love Eichel already because that is almost assuredly who we will get... But damn. McDavid here would be nuts. Hopefully we win the lottery. If not us then Boston. I can actually see Boston willing to trade down to 2 and not demand a bounty. I'd gladly move Zads,21,31 and Grigs to get McDavid if Boston is deadset on the home town boy yet has to save face by not taking him over McDavid.
And I am getting so sick of the Giroux/insert star but not superstar 70-75 point forward is worth more then Eichel. Remember when we offered Vanek+ right after his 84 point sophomore season to Chicago for #1/Kane and they said no? That puts to rest all that ********. Eichel is going to be far better then Giroux/Hall etc.

Look, I Eichel is great at hockey. No doubt about that. All I'm saying is that I don't like the fact that somebody called him his childhood bully - and he's clearly not matured too much since then if he's going to chalk it up to "jealousy".
Bullying might help him on the ice, who knows. I just hate bullying in any form and I really don't think that kid has any motivation to make that stuff up.
I think I need to take a break from these forums for a while, some of this stuff is getting ridiculous. Maybe I'll come back after the summer when there's actually hockey to talk about.
to be fair, even if eichel was a huge bully to that guy when they were kids, taking a jab at him publicly on twitter immediately following what was probably one of the most disappointing moments of his life isn't exactly taking the high road
it's nothing

I wouldn't read too much into that tweet
The guy tweeted it was a joke right after that tweet, seems kind of shady to me

If you look at it right after that he says "he did but I don't care"
Obviously he cared a little bit though...

Do you guys think there are any legs to the rumor that he does not want to come here? Makes me nervous, but I am admittedly a scarred Buffalo sports fan who sometimes assumes the worst.

Listening to schopp and Bulldog talk about potential trades from 2 up to 1 is terrifying. Put me on the record of perfectly happy with Eicehl

I don't give it any validity. Even if I did, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Offhand I can't think of an elite prospect who forced his way off a team since Lindros. What's he going to do, play three more years in college?
We don't even have the nice thing we spent two years trying to get and people are already saying it's broken.

Me too. I wouldn't trade much to move up. Not Grigs + 2 picks.
However, I like Eichel. If arizona pushed hard for mcdavid, I'd be listening. But I doubt they even have anything of interests. So, wherever we land, we are drafting.

I'm not saying it's broken. I would just hate to see after all this that the kid doesn't even want to play here.

But all he did was Favorite something from Twitter(which shouldn't be taken too seriously in the first place) that SOMEONE else posted that DEFENDED him(Eichel). We don't know the context of the bullying comment other than they knew each other from their childhood.
Plus reading the guys other tweets, he doesn't paint a picture of someone who hasn't had their share of bullying others himself.
