Jack Eichel - 2015 WJC Highlights

[@johnwolf2561]

5 years later the only player on the sabres, thank God we have him

[@andyc9979]

@Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass he loves buffalo but definitely I see what you mean. He is sick of the losing. Another bad year and it's over. If course they realign the division to make it so hard. Definitely why they got hall, staal to say hey we're listening. They know it too. Can't lose anymore. I really do wish they would do something about goaltending. Ullmark and hutton just won't do it. Ullmark perhaps if you split it as a tandem but hutton has just been as bad as it gets. They better score a lot.

A big right handed playmaking/scoring centreman who is lighting up the NCAA like no one ever before. And he may go 2nd overall. That's unreal.

[@donutsubscribe3751]

without a doubt, he's going in the top 2

[@bradypeecher4673]

Like no one before? as in no big right handed centerman or any player?

[@MrJmobes]

Brady Peecher a big right handed playmaking and scoring centreman who is also a freshman.

Josh Moberly he is so good. To bad he will be gone after this year. Id love to see him a year older and destroy college hockey

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

Might not have had the same WJC numbers as McDavid, but he showcased more than enough evidence of his stellar abilities to warrant hype.

[@bullettomy7thheart]

1:40 Is this kid serious?

[@clintbrooks7753]

This guy is the second coming of Lemieux. I mean holy crap, if he plays like that in the NHL, he's going to dominate. His speed and reach is off the charts, imagine if he was 6'6"? Since McDavid will probably going #1 to the god forsaken oilers, I can't wait to see him in the blue and gold. A good American hockey player should play in a good American hockey city!!! LET'S GO BUFFALO

[@irishman9628]

***** He had 49 points in 20 games...You can't waste a talent like McDavid...

[@irishman9628]

Diablo Blanco Are you drunk ? You CAN'T waste a talent like McDavid. He is a generational player, you can't spoil that. Taylor Hall had an 80 point season last year on the worst team in the NHL so I don't know how he was a wasted first pick ? The Nuge is only 22...and Yakupov is going to be a bust I agree. But to say McDavid's career is going to be ruined is something a guy who never watched hockey would say.

[@xCoreProductions]

lolmurphlol You say that, until his talent is wasted. Or he is concussion-riddled

[@opshan4269]

+lolmurphlol If they don't waste him, they'll just blame all their problems on McDavid like they do to Hall and Eberle right now. Those two get so much shit even though they're the only two that actually have an impact on games. RNH was too rushed when he had that shoulder injury, and they just fucked Yakupov over from the start. They need a complete front office overhaul, that team is poisoned. And it sucks to say because you can see that those 4 are really trying, they just have a management group that doesn't seem to give a fuck.

[@UrMothersTitz]

yep definitely. He makes me think of Lemieux. and im not even ashamed of saying that

[@4455matthew]

Amazing talent. Strong, so fast, great possession and reach, a bit too busy with the puck, can easily be fixed, going to be a total star. And so happy my team the Sabres got him!!

[@leobanana2011]

Oof

[@LegionOfPablo]

This video shows Eichel has the vision, speed, hands, shot, and offensive awareness to be worthy of a #1 pick. HOWEVER McDavid is just a bit better offensively - enough so that my Sabres will have to take him #1 in the upcoming draft xD

[@88Freefall]

And now he is a Stanley Cup champion!

[@josephf4693]

Sabres Fan's Guide to Avoiding Ultimate Disappointment This Offseason: 1) Make your peace with the fact we have a 4-out-of-5 chance of drafting Eichel 2) Come to the realization Eichel is disgusting 3) Grab a lot of cocaine just in case we win the draft lottery 4) ??????? 5) HELLA Stanley Cups

Still disappointed tho...

[@Bruins-qb8sq]

People are over reacting to his poor numbers in this tourney imo. I think McDavid may have separated himself after this but Jack really wasn't as bad as people make it seem. You can see what makes him so good and I think he just had a couple of bad bounces he could have done much better. I would have liked to see him pass more and finish plays but clearly he's an incredible player.

[@renzoalmondocappondo2022]

Mcdavid is way better jack eichel barely did anything

[@Lindeni]

He dominated on almost every shift, he was quick, strong, his passes were superb, but lack on finishing on the Eichel-line was the storyline. He did a lot, his linemates didn't.

[@renzoalmondocappondo2022]

I agree and he makes plays fast I live in can so maybe that's why I said that he is talented but he needs to finish

[@Lindeni]

Both are going to be superstars in the league, worst thing about that is that one of them has to go to the Oilers.

[@OhhFrikshunz]

Fully agree. This guy is a heck of a hockey player and I don't think he should be a flash in the pan to McDavid at all. Incredible shot release, skating stride and power, hockey IQ/thought process, and vision. McDavid will go 1st. but man, Eichel is one damn good conselation prize.

[@scoldingwhisper]

i am a flames fan but i hope eichel goes to the western conf. to see how he does against the big centers in the west

[@derekmorris6992]

scoldingwhisper It's not going to happen. Edmonton would be crazy to pass on McDavid despite the fact that the Oilers ruin talent. Eichel already has the size to his advantage to compete in the NHL. Whereas McDavid needs to build on more muscle, and will be drafted by a western team. I really want to see how McDavid can compete against the big, tough West.

[@GVSdylan2127]

Sorry buddy but he went to the east. Btw happy to call him my captain. Sabre’s fan

[@vietvu685]

2015 draft is so deep

[@joeyliu4443]

Let's just say it was very

[@robertgrabel3055]

At this juncture, I think it's obvious that McDavid has distanced himself from everyone else. But that isn't a knock on Eichel. Dude is going to be a star.

[@davidboyce3169]

He will be sick on a line with Evander Kane, welcome to Buffalo!

[@Clenched.Cheeks]

David Boyce Evander Kane's gonna corrupt him.

[@4455matthew]

And Ennis, can't forget Ennis, that guy is great, too.

[@nalsra0]

It won't help Buffalo, Sabres never have and never will be a good team.

[@aidanbrath4654]

Umm +Blur Icy we had one of the best teams in the late 90's and early 2000's, in the 1999 finals we should have won but the refs were being dumbass and when Brett Hull scored a goal while his skate was in the crease (which is no goal) said it was a goal. With Eichel the sabres will win the cup someday...

Bring it to Buff Jackie !! We'll love ya kid !!!

[@MANSIKKAPUURO-jl9zm]

MY IDOLS

[@mikebeelby868]

If I'm comparing him to someone, I could see him being like a more dangerous version of Malkin. Eichel has the size and speed and imo has the potential to be even better.

[@HYP3DSNIP3R]

I think Eichel is an exceptional skater based on his edge work and stride. He's 6'2 but plays like he's 6'6 with the way he uses his reach.

[@derekmorris6992]

AnkleTape 50 He reminds me more of Jonathan Toews.

[@HYP3DSNIP3R]

derek morris I think Eichel is very unique. Powerful, good frame, good agility, powerful shot, excellent puck handler.

[@derekmorris6992]

HYP3DSNIP3R Yep. He's phenomenal. He will be a power player once he builds more muscle. I really think people underrate him because he doesn't score as much points as McDavid. Eichel reminds me a mix of Toews (leadership and quality all-around player), Thornton (unique playmaker) , Backes (gritty), and even a bit of Stamkos (shot and speed). He'll be a dominant player in the league who I think can produce 80-90 points a season. McDavid is amazing as well, but I really think that people underrate him. Buffalo is very lucky :D.

[@HYP3DSNIP3R]

derek morris Agree, that's why I find him more intruiging than McDavid, I think he's harder to contain and a dynamic multi-dimensional player.

[@Rev201287]

looks like a mixture of Modano and Roenick to me, kinda. He's gonna be a perennial all star.

[@halenkovacs4607]

[@mr.devil9577]

Better hands than Datsyuk better speed than Bure

[@HardHustler956]

If Buffalo get the 1st pick I think they should draft Eichel and Edmonton would draft McDavid. Feels more natural.

[@Jon_Snow_88]

Why so Edmonton can fuck up another kids career

[@HardHustler956]

Phileezy88 i do believe that in 2 or 3 years Edmonton can get a grip on their game. They just need experienced leaders who can make a path for the 1st rounders

[@Jon_Snow_88]

Winnipeg4ever They also need better defense and goaltending, you can't just have a team based off offense.

[@josephf4693]

That won't happen because Buffalo willl burn to the ground.

[@josephf4693]

Joseph F Inb4 it already has, dicks.

[@teamcropdusters3684]

He is the closest I have seen to Lindros in a long time. 2 inches shorter, but he can grow. The combination of physicality and skill is reminiscent of #88.

[@tonyolivette7977]

By looking at both connor Mcdavids and Jack Eichel's videos I think Eichel is a for sure a great player to build around your team with. Nothing against Connor Mcdavid but by watching videos and different style i would prefer Eichel caliber more than Mcdavids for plenty of reason.

[@dw4867]

Do you remember any of those obviously incorrect reasons that you mentioned in this comment? Just curious.

[@mandalorianlegion576]

D W jack is catching up real quick

[@BuLLeTx87]

I think the one thing that killed him at the WJC was that he tried to do too much himself. It's like he purposefully did it just because he was going vs McDavid, not the team he was actually playing against

[@josephf4693]

BuLLeTx87 His team was also far inferior to the Canadian squad

[@defuzins]

BuLLeTx87 i thought he played great throughout the tourney. I just think the team let him down. Not enough talent on the team.

[@opshan4269]

+Joseph F I hate to say it, but you're absolutely right. Canada's team was much better than the US's. Eichel, Butcher, Hanifin, Demko, and our third line were the only players that stood out. Everyone else was... meh..

[@jackbreh2788]

0:51 lmfao so apparently that hard cutting right power move has always been jacks move cause he still does that 2x a game lol

[@Nerfinators009]

He's be better than McDavid if he could finish more

[@stanturte4139]

+Lambert Lacasse Not even close, McDavid is 1000 times faster then this guy. And lets not even get started about the hands. McD better by a blue mile. Eichel might have a better shot.. maybee if hes lucky. Who needs a good shot when you have the hands and speed of the one they call mcjesus?

[@ALEXtheKILLER08]

+Aaron Cam McDavid dosen't hit and he's bad at receiving hit, so they're pretty close

[@tetemar6177]

I actually think MdDavids speed might end up causing him a lot of injuries in his career. He is a little reckless, as we saw when he broke his collar bone.

[@stanturte4139]

McDavid skates cirlces around this guy. Not even comparable. Only people claiming they would take him over McD are the bitter loser fans that didnt win the first overall. Everyone knows if you had the first overall pick you are taking McD and you dont even need to see Eichel videos to know that. Take it Oil haters

[@thedominatior39]

+Aaron Cam This is my opinion that McDavid is a really great player but I don't think the Oilers was the best place for him because everyone up there is going to compare him to the great one there more than anywhere that is why I believe mostly thats why most of there first overall picks haven't paned out yet I believe that Eichel will be great because there is a lot of young talent in Buffalo to fall back on if he doesn't work

[@lucaspot9208]

+Aaron Cam depends on what your team needs you dumbass

[@hannahvandzura6814]

Just because you choose Eichel over McDavid doesn't mean you're a bitter loser. They are 2 different players. Eichel is more of a physical player than McDavid and people would choose Eichel because he's more of an all around player than McDavid.
