Yeah, well then I disagree with you. It's not time for him to usurp leadership of the team yet. Let him develop some more. Stop being an impatient fan who wants instant gratification. You know better. It takes some time. More than he's had. And he doesn't have much of a team around him yet to fully shine. So he's got some developing to do. And the GM has a team to finish building. He's only about halfway there - depending upon what you think of Ennis' future IMO.

Not to mention the Leafs and Austin Matthews.

This Leaf team could make me a hockey fan again.

Re: Time for Eichel to step up

They're fun to watch.

So much skill... Matthews, Marner, JVR, Bozak, Kadri, Reilly!

Not to mention that they're extremely well coached.

I think he is a fine young talent, but nothing I have seen says "generational player" to me.

Nylander and Jake Gardiner and Freddy Anderson and Connor Brown and and Zach Hyman.

And Babcock is a great coach.

Plus they have a promising group down with the Marlies.

The future is extremely rosy...

Re: Time for Eichel to step up

Posters (ahem MMD) have erroneously called Eichel a generational talent.. Their have only been 5 generational talents in the last 35 years...

The Marlie's are last in the division. Or were just a few days ago, I haven't checked. Also, lehner is younger and has better numbers than andersson

Mike Bossy
Ray Bourque
Wayne Gretzky
Mark Messier
Sydney Crosby
Jaromir Jagr
Mario Lemieux
Connor McDavid

Those are generational talents... Jack Eichel isn't in the same league as any of these players.

Different players. Different situations. So you can STFU yourself.

No, but if he became something akin to the next Joe Thornton that would be ok.
