Jack Eichel is nearly certain to be drafted second by the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL Entry Draft. What’s less certain is whether the 18-year old phenom will return to Boston University for his sophomore season.
I realize the likelihood of that is slim but there was talk after the draft it could happen. Some fans openly hoped Eichel would return to school as a retribution for losing the last two seasons. Somehow, the Sabres didn’t deserve the opportunity to have Jack Eichel wear the blue and gold.
The talk got me thinking about Eichel and the Sabres, but college sports in general.
