At 6-foot-2 and 194 pounds, Eichel possesses an ideal frame to be an impact player at the pro level. He also has the skill level to match — if not surpass — his physical build.
The North Chelmsford, Mass., native was a star in his first season for the Boston University Terriers. He recorded 71 points in 40 games to lead college hockey in scoring as an 18-year-old. A 1.77 point-per-game average is a feat rarely achieved, let alone by a freshman.
Eichel has been also been a force for the United States at every level he has represented his country.
