Huge Update on Jack Eichel Trade Front

Jack Eichel is going to be traded from the Buffalo Sabres, it's just nobody has any clue when. Turns out though it could be happening sooner than later after Eichel has changed agents.

A development in the Jack Eichel situation: hearing he is now going to be represented by Pat Brisson.

The Sabres continue to have dialogue with several teams about a deal including the Los Angeles Kings, Calgary Flames, Minnesota Wild, New York Rangers and the St Louis Blues. At this point the offers haven't touched the Sabres asking price and it has everything to do with the fact everyone knows Eichel wants out. 

Eichel loves to stir the pot as well after telling reporters in Boston he eventually wants to play for the Bruins and sending out cryptic tweets like this one last week.

Look for a deal to go down at some point between now and Christmas as this continues to drag on much longer than most anticipated, especially Captain Jack.
