Jack Eichel is one of the top prospects in the upcoming NHL Draft thanks to his on-ice skills, and he also proved deft in handling famed commentator Don Cherry.

Don Cherry always has something to say, but he was rendered momentarily speechless when Eichel presented Cherry with a gift in an unwrapped Macy's box during an appearance on Coach's Corner. 

So what was in the box? A Team USA polo shirt, which is sure to collect dust in Cherry's closet since the commentator is well-known for his rabid support of all things Canadian and has criticized multiple Canadian teams over the years for drafting too many American and European players and not enough Canadian players.
