With tensions seemingly coming to a head, the Buffalo Sabres and captain Jack Eichel appear to be on completely opposite sides when it comes to Eichel’s health. While the 24-year-old was seen skating in Boston among other NHL players recently while sporting the Sabres’ royal blue, it seems nearly impossible that he’ll still be a member of the Sabres when October rolls around.
Eichel (and his camp) and the Sabres appear to be simply too far apart for a peaceful resolution, and I cannot for the life of me imagine a way that he’s back with the team when the season roll around and everything is fine and dandy.
