Yesterday, Elliotte Friedman noted that the Sabres are in a tough spot with Jack Eichel. Given that they have the #1 overall pick, Friedman said he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the Sabres “punt” the Eichel injury situation to another team. Does that mean the Rangers can get Eichel at a trade discount?
Friedman on 31 Thoughts talking Eichel: "It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Sabres answer to this is to potentially punt the situation to another team."
What a mess…
Friedman doesn’t specifically call out the injury, but that is what he’s talking about.
