The Sabres hold most of the cards here.
Adams will take a page from the Texans on the Deshaun Watson saga...just a reminder, Watson was begging to be traded earlier this year. I am not lying when I say that more than half the league was interested until the Texans let it be known that, we'll trade you but the asking price is 4 first rounders and a blue chip defensive prospect, then supposedly only 2 teams were still interested before his legal issues surfaced.
The Sabres will ask for a significant package. If a team isn't interested in paying it, then so be it. His surgery and rehab is estimated at 8 weeks, and if he wants to hold out next season then he can forfeit $10 million dollars that he'll never make up.
He'll PLD out there and force your hand during the year, which would net you an even worse return.The Sabres hold most of the cards here.

Or Eichel can just decide to show up, and sit on the bench, and still get paid.The Sabres hold most of the cards here.

Eichel has an abdominal injury and a neck injury that likely both require surgery to correct. I wonder how much this will scare potential suitors.
Sabres are probably better off betting on Jack recovering from surgery and waiting to trade him until he comes back and proves he's healthy and can produce at 40+goal, 95+point pace again.
Any deal between Calgary and Buffalo including Jack Eichel will include Tkachuk or Buffalo simply goes to the next bidderCalgary GM Treliving has missed too many big fish lately and is on his last legs. He missed on Stone, Anderson, Hall recently, I'm sure I'm missing a couple others.
This would be his last chance to take the team to the next level, and a bonafide superstar center could do that.
I think he goes all in to save this squad and throws in a Monahan plus +++ offer at the draft that could include a top ten pick and a top prospect (or two).
Monahan plus their 2021 first round pick, (after the lottery) plus Pelletier and Kylington. Expansion draft might create a wrinkle but I anticipate Calgary to be all over this player.

Yeah that'd be a great look for Jack. Nothing like showing the rest of the league that instead of being a competitor you're a petulant little child.Or Eichel can just decide to show up, and sit on the bench, and still get paid.
Team won't be avle to suspend him if player shows he wants to play. He doesn't have to put any effort into ot tho.
The Sabres hold leverage, but it takes a massive hit as soon as next season begins. Blockbuster deals rarely happen during the season. Mark Stone would be the last one and even that deal didn't return as much as it would have if it had been done during the offseason.The Sabres hold most of the cards here.

Nothing like playing a guy that wants out cause you're not getting a Gretzky like return...Yeah that'd be a great look for Jack. Nothing like showing the rest of the league that instead of being a competitor you're a petulant little child.
Worked just fine for PLD...Yeah that'd be a great look for Jack. Nothing like showing the rest of the league that instead of being a competitor you're a petulant little child.
