All indications are that the Sabres will trade their captain Jack Eichel.
General manager Kevyn Adams said Saturday that he wouldn’t have a problem if Eichel stayed in Buffalo, but the center’s agents, Peter Fish and Peter Donatelli, told Sportsnet in a dual statement all discussions they’ve had with the Sabres revolve around a trade and that is their expectation.
Eichel is skating, but it’s possible his neck injury, which kept him out of the last 33 games this season, will require surgery.
Among the teams that have been linked to Eichel trade talks include the Anaheim Ducks, Minnesota Wild, Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers.
