Now that the Jack Eichel saga is over, I thought it would be fun to see how he does in Vegas.
I traded Jack Eichel to Vegas in this save just like in real life and simmed out the rest of his career. I then tried to mimic the situation as closely as possible. I gave Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, and William Karlsson their real-life injuries. And then I took the 3-5 month timeline being tossed around for Eichel’s recovery and used a randomizer to come up with Eichel’s injury length. I will be raising the salary cap by small increments every off-season, starting with a one million increase in the 2022 off-season.
Moving forward, I won’t be interfering with team transactions in any way, no matter how tempting it is sometimes. For the record as well, so that you're aware of my bias, I am a Canucks fan and I dislike Vegas
My final predictions are that Jack will end his career as VGK’s all-time scoring leader with a Stanley Cup, a scoring title, and two Hart Trophies mixed in.
Hope you enjoy!
