Tom Callahan of Vegas Hockey Now: The Vegas Golden Knights have a need for a No. 1 center. The Buffalo Sabres are asking a lot for center Jack Eichel, upwards of six or more pieces.
It is possible that the Golden Knights could clear the space to add Eichel and that they do have the assets that might get a deal done.
The Golden Knights have their first-round pick and the New Jersey Devils No. 36 pick.
Assets that could help the Sabres now – Reilly Smith has a year left at $5 million and Chandler Stephenson has three years left at $2.
