He and Lazar been among the few bright spots IMO

The goal is to win hockey games.

Eichel and Dahlin were never generational in the real sense of the term. It means clearly the best in the world over an extended period, doing things others don’t do.

There’s been maybe 10 of them ever.

Well you need to tell every ass***** that touted these guys as such predraft

Please stop trying to use the dictionary definition of generational.  Hockey uses the term to mean better than “elite”. The elite of the elite.  A franchise changing player.  The face of your team. It isn’t used to mean the best player for 15.6 years or whatever the dictionary deems a generation.  

So then let's use the word elite.

It's not just hockey lexicon. It's all of sports. Words have meanings and those can change, but generational is not elite. It transcends eliteness. In 20 years there will be only one generational quarterback in the NFL from 2000-2020: Brady. Rodgers and Brees and all the other statistical heavyweights will be shown as a product of the era. They're going to be just-a-guys in hindsight.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
