Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel continues to receive praise ahead of what will be his first full season in Sin City.

Eichel was ranked the 41st best player on the NHL Network’s top 50 list. Nos. 50-41 were revealed on Sunday.

The forward dropped dramatically after being ranked at No. 27 on last year’s list.

NHL Network analysts Jamison Coyle and Mike Rupp broke down the list on Monday’s edition of “NHL Tonight.”

“This is a guy that when he is playing and what we have seen in his career, he is a world-class player,” Rupp said. “… Jack Eichel is going to be highly, highly motivated in Vegas this year. It’s an opportunity for him and even from the standpoint of if Jack even saw a list like this. Superstars want to be known as being the greatest. Him slipping to 41? He might get mad and I think that’s a good thing. More motivation for Jack will certainly help the Vegas Golden Knights.”
