Jack Eichel, will he play center/centre this season?

[LGR4GM]

The Ottawa announcers last night pondered if Jack "the Yeichel" Eichel would be a full time center this year in the NHL. He had a lot to work on last year but will he actually make the transition? 

 

What say you SS, will Jack Eichel our #2 center for 81 games last year, finally step up and be center for 82 games this year? Or will he be like Nathan Gerbe who just never managed to play a full season at center? (Shrader come back, we miss you  :cry: )

Jack is the #2 center on this team until he's the #1 center on this team.

The comments from the TSN guys last night were uninformed and wacky. With due respect, this is not a topic worthy of discussion.

[LGR4GM]

no sense of humor this morning huh guys?

[Mustache of God]

I think that if he puts the work in Jack Eichel could usurp Robin Lehner as starting goalie by the November.

I would be willing to bet that he plays about 80% of the time at center, and 20% of the time at centre.

With all due respect to Thorny, Miller and Ferraro are among the best in the business -well-connected and well-informed. Before TSN lost the NHL rights, they were probably the network's number one national team.

 

It was an odd comment, to be sure,offered without context, but it certainly is getting far too much attention here.

It may have come out of Jack playing out of position at the World Cup and/or a conversation they were privy to about that.

[LGR4GM]

Oh come on, I am just poking a little fun. I read TSN all the time. 

[WildCard]

Fun is not allowed, and carries a ban as a punishment, sir.

[GASabresIUFAN]

This is the same kind of thinking that had ROR playing the wall in Colorado.

Canadians don't have fun unless we're drunk or in the forest.

For ROR that's apparently at the same time

What if you're drunk and in a forest?

I said THE forest, not A forest.

Right. Was odd but I bet that's all it was.  They are covering 30 teams, got to cut them a little slack.  Still not as bad as Pierre rambling about some random player's hat trick in his first game on JV for his high school in 2008 in New Jersey under the tutelage of Coach____. Unbelievable!

dammit all.

and being super thick-headed and failing to read the entirety of a short post is also punishable.

O...M...G....you used the S word! 

[Cereal]

Someone called in to Schopp and Bulldog in ~July and started going on and on about how Jack could be the next Brian Holzinger, and they lost their minds.

 

Now I'm second-guessing myself... there's no way it was Holzinger... right?

[sabills]

 ...apparently not; replace "You" with "Me":

You know, putting a Tim Hortons in a tree house would keep it away from ROR's pickup.

Two of 3,288 reasons I love Canadians.

[beerme1]

Jack Eichel will NEVER play Centre. Believe me.

[SwampD]

I voted Gerbe.
