Maybe he'll end up being a failure, like Patrick Kane!
Besides, we all know that Eichel is going to turn down $ 4 million plus and possibly delay UFA in his future, just to turn down the Sabres.

How to Reduce Cognitive Dissonance
According to Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, people try to seek consistency in their thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. So when there are conflicts between cognitions, people will take steps to reduce the dissonance and feelings of discomfort. They can go about doing this a few different ways.There are three key strategies to reduce or minimize cognitive dissonance:
Focus on more supportive beliefs that outweigh the dissonant belief or behavior.
Reduce the importance of the conflicting belief.Change the conflicting belief so that it is consistent with other beliefs or behaviors.
With all due respect, you say you haven't done much research on Eichel, correct? There was a piece on him earlier bout his elite character and work ethic and humble upbringing. This is no joke, the first I've ever heard of him being any trouble, and it's him drinking beer, as a college student. Not sure why this is a big deal.
It's not a big deal to me, It's a big deal to GM's, You won't even believe the things I was doing at his age..
But....I had zero to loose, No one was looking at me to be the face of their franchise other than organized crime.
This kid, Is being looked at as a 'potential' face of a multi million dollar business.
Some kids like McJesus understand that, And keep their **** on the DL.
Poor judgement at any age is always looked upon as a red flag..
He needs to stop acting like poor decision making Rob Lowe.
Johnny Manziel was the first thing that popped into my head.
POTENTIAL is a double edged sword homey!!
At the end of the day, It's also against the law, He's 18, A bar tender served him?? That's 2 laws broken.
Funny how we like to turn a blind eye to the college kid drinking underage, In a BAR no less, But arrest the kid in the hood on the corner drinking a 40.
But that's a whole other issue.
I don't think that was at a bar. Looks like a house party to me.

There's an article that discusses what a nice young man Eichel is. At the end of the day, it is what it is, a college kid drinking after winning a major tournament. If that's a red flag to you, that's fine. Who am I to argue? To me, I'm not worried about it.
