An update on the Jack Eichel situation, trade talks heating up again
Two weeks ago, Jack Eichel changed his agent and is now represented by Pat Brisson of CAA Sports. Brisson and the Buffalo Sabres reportedly held a meeting recently according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Friedman also added that the Sabres have re-engaged teams that were previously interested in Eichel following the meeting with Brisson and CAA Sports.
"The Sabres had an 'introductory meeting' with Jack Eichel's new representatives. Both sides are trying to keep things very quiet, but, as of yet, word is there's no resolution. As with many of our own responsibilities, several NHL situations picked up steam after Labour Day. I do believe Buffalo re-engaged with interested teams to see where everyone stands. We will see where things go." Friedman said late on Thursday night.
Eichel, 24, missed the majority of the 2020-21 season after suffering a herniated disk in his neck. In 21 games, the North Chelmsford, Massachusetts native had 18 points (2 G, 16 A), six penalty minutes, and was a -9.
