Per Shawn Simpson, Jack Eichel is slated to have his surgery “soon,” with a December return being targeted.
I know we are all pretty sick of hearing about Eichel, but this is a move in the right direction for both player and team. Eichel also has a new agent, something that was long overdue, and the process should move along after months of a stalemate.
The asking price being “4 to 6 pieces” is a bit misleading, since Buffalo is asking for 4 to 6 valuable pieces, not just 4 to 6 throw ins.
