He starting to get more love, it wasn't happening before because he was injured these last two seasons, played on some unwatchable teams, and played in maybe the smallest market in the NHL.
If you replaced Eichel with any player in NHL history at their peak do you think the Sabres would have made the play-off's the last couple of years? I sure don't think so.

He's elite, future top 10 C in the league. His play away from the puck could get better along with his compete level at all times but other than that, he's got an elite skillset and physical tools.

Who was that Sabres fan that made a thread earlier this season about how he was basically done with Eichel? That thread was a real winner.
Anyway as a Sabres fan I'm just happy they've drastically improved. If they keep it up the accolades will come. If that matters to you.
1998-1999 Sakic 96 points (5th), Hedjduk 48 pointsObviously Sakic wasn't propped up by Hejduk before Hejduk began his NHL career. But by about 2000 Hejduk was leading the league in scoring.
Could Jack Eichel score more than 60 points without Jeff Skinner on his wing?
Skinner is this decade's Milan Hejduk. A winger who is responsible for all of the success of the centre (Eichel or Sakic). Yet the winger gets overlooked due to east coast Canadian bias
Nobody remembers number two.
thankfully you are no where close to evaluating talent for the leafs, you would probably get them back to a lottery pick in short order.Yeah I would take Eichel over Mathews for sure.

Fun fact: I once won a shirt at a Flyers game for knowing it was Daigle who said that in a trivia contest.Alexandre Daigle commenting on #2 selection Chris Pronger, if I’m not mistaken.
I can't really agree with Eichel not getting any love. He's a great player and most hockey fans recognize this. Not sure what you mean, is it fans or hockey media?Ive never understood why Eichel isn’t talked about more. Guy is elite and a huge reason of why the Sabres are doing so well. Where’s all the love for Eichel?
