Well, I am an optimist. I do think they have more talent now than when Jack went down. Casey, Asplund and Tage seem to have emerged. R2, Cozens and Bjork. But ya, maybe they all just fade back to mediocrity
It will be good to get a healthy Jack Eichel back in the line up.
Jack will be returning to a very different team from the one he left. Not only will there be a new coach but there are new and better players on the roster with more scoring potential, a defense that seems at least to have the making of a group that can grow together with the prospects of success.
RK used Jack a lot. He may have overused him at times. Now that there is more scoring spread throughout the line up I just wonder how much that changes how Jack is used. Instead of double shifting him, maybe he gets used more like Marchant on the PK. I know he has at times done that, but it wouldn't mind seeing him there all the time.
Thoughts?
