I'd certainly kick the tires more on part 4, but on the surface it looks like a lot of stuff that is only a topic because he plays for the Sabres.
I don't disagree - any argument that he's not driven or whatever is at best speculative. But it's a thing, and at this point in the evolution of the CBJ, it's a particular thing I pay attention to because, for whatever reason, we seem to find those possessing those character traits, or bring them out. I'm not sayin Eichel is any of those things - I've barely watched him play - but it's a concern. And when added to all the other real concerns, it's...a real concern.
If it were any three of those issues (esp if the injury wasn't of the "you kinda need an artificial neck" variety), I'd probably be on board, but taken all together, it's a lot of risk, and I'm not sure I think he's worth that level of risk.
