With the news that Jack Eichel has been traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, the former second overall pick can finally get his 2021-22 season on the mend.
But the trade has fans of Pacific Division teams quaking in their boots, while neutrals are excited at the prospect of the Golden Knights obtaining a true No. 1 centre.
VIVA LAS VEGAS

As a Sabres fan, I’m just glad this saga is over. Eichel still has to get surgery, rehab from it, and stay healthy. Vegas is taking a huge risk.

If Eichel is back and they’re healthy. Vegas is now the clear cut Stanley Cup Favorites.
McDavid vs Eichel in Round 2 will be awesome to watch
