Re: Value of Eichel vs Kucherov in a Cap League
I have Kucherov in a cap league, and truthfully if I had the cap space, I'd prefer Eichel. For the moment, Kucherov is the better player and costs considerably less, but Eichel has so much untapped potential that I'd prefer him, if money wasn't a factor. This is only a hunch I have, but I think Eichel outproduces Kucherov next year.
Unfortunately for me, even if the Eichel owner in my league was willing to trade Eichel to me for Kucherov, I'd have to decline because I can't fit Eichel's salary onto my team. Already this past season I had to deal Kuznetsov for Ehlers, Byfuglien for Ristolainen, and Gostisbehere for Provorov to free up cap space.
