The comparisons for Buffalo Sabres Forward Jack Eichel and Edmonton Oilers F Connor McDavid are going to rampant in both of their rookie campaigns, and more than likely their entire careers. So far through the start of their rookie campaigns, McDavid is looking for his first goal, while Jack Eichel has two goals in his first three games.
It isn’t just the case that Eichel might be a better hockey player, McDavid is playing on a team that isn’t built the same way the Sabres are, and doesn’t have the depth of veteran talent that the Sabres do.
