CHICAGO – Jack Eichel heard you. All of you.
The folks that stopped him on the street, spotted him at the Erie Basin Marina or boarding a boat at the Naval and Military Park. The ones that asked for pictures – and then posted many of them on Twitter or Instagram. The ones who simply said hello, good luck or welcome.
If there’s any real decision left for Eichel to make between choosing a sophomore season at Boston University or a freshman one in First Niagara Center, the 18-year-old said here Monday the fans in Buffalo who showered him with greetings during last week’s NHL Scouting Combine left quite the impression.
