Player Discussion Jack Eichel Part 8 -- The Siege of Eichelgrad

[Fezzy126]

The other thing could be that he is traveling to scout the various Jr camps and events that are currently taking place like the Hlinka Gretzky tournament.

2021 Hlinka Gretzky Cup

That appears to be the case:

Christ Johnston joined the Steve Dangle podcast to talk about things.

He thinks the next pressure point is the start of camp.

And again, I think all the pressure is on the teams interested in acquiring him. It's not like we're looking at a cup run this season, so what's the difference to Buffalo if he's around? But if Jack needs surgery and it will be the acquiring team's prerogative to decide what that looks like, then the sooner they get the deal done, the better.

This is a good read about ADR vs Fusion if it hasn’t been posted yet.

Now the ****er needs back surgery, too? Nice reporting boys.

It just dawned on me, we've never see Eichel in a Sabres playoff as a Sabre.

what am I doing wrong?

Outing your ignore list, for one.

Fixed now. Thanks!

Crap, he needs back surgery too?

Edit: beaten to the punch.

Adams should tweet out “heading camping for 2 weeks.... won’t have cell service, have a great summer”

So I wasn’t wrong about the vaca this week. Lol. Love it.

What is a Sabres playoff? I'd say the month of october.

He’s scouting team camps and a prestigious u18 tournament

I'd say the draft lottery. Maybe we should have had Eichel in the draft room so that he could have experienced some winning.

Until he realizes his best chance at the shiny is to ride Michkov's coattails and demands a trade back, hoping for a threepeat.

And hopefully ghosting Jack's agents.

Replace it now, replace it good, replace it just like you should.

I think the fact we haven't heard of any leaked offers from teams tells us how little teams are offering. It's probably less than we think.

I think the fact we haven't heard of any leaked offers from teams tells us how little teams are offering. It's probably less than we think.

I mean, it's probably next to nothing if we are refusing to eat part of Eichel's salary, and probably very great offers if we are willing. Five years is too long to take back salary, so that's why there's a stalemate.

The stalemate will only be broken when one of the teams figure out how to unload salary in a trade with another team, or Buffalo agrees to take on a cap dump that helps them make it work.

I don't see any scenario where Buffalo pays part of his salary 5 years, that's one thing we can all agree on

Yeah, the talk of retaining half his salary is insane talk. Imagine giving up $5M of your cap space for 5 years, and giving it to a competitor in your own conference to boot.
