The long anticipated trade of Jack Eichel did not take place last night. According to Elliotte Friedman, the price remains too high causing teams to back out. However; it appears Sam Reinhart will be joining the Florida Panthers pending a trade call this morning.
Buffalo did hold the number one overall pick in the draft and made the most of it.
