‘The biggest complaint the amateur coaches have is why isn’t Jack Eichel taking shootouts. Bylsma said, “He’s on the list, I had him fourth yesterday, but a lot of it is he’s had two attempts that he didn’t make and then we watch in practice and see how he’s doing in practice and if you haven’t been around for some of our lengthier ones, he’s been at the end a fair amount of times and you’d like to see that shot and that move, cash in because it is an outstanding shot, but again you’re going with guys like Ryan O’Reilly whose a 40 percent career guy, Brian Gionta’s 32 percent, so I feel like we’re going with guys that can deliver and get the job done.”’
