TSN’s Frank Seravalli has been on top of the Jack Eichel to LA Kings trade rumors. Last week, he reported that the organization showed an interest in acquiring the Buffalo Sabres captain before the trade deadline.
Several players, including Eichel, expressed their frustrations with the team’s direction during their exit interviews. Many media outlets see Buffalo heading back into another rebuild and would likely deal anything with any value to prospective clubs.
The Kings have the salary cap and the assets to get the deal done, but the primary concern has been whether 2020 second overall pick Quinton Byfield would be included in the package.
