Jack Eichel on the Dallas Stars locks the franchise in as a competitive one for the foreseeable future. Many fans have soured on Eichel because of the endless melodrama with the Buffalo Sabres. However, there is no denying Eichel’s talent and tangibles he would bring to a team chasing its 2nd Stanley Cup.
At a time when Eichel’s trade value has reached semi-discount, the opportunity is now for Jim Nill to make a deal.
