Trade Rumor: Buffalo Sabres And Vegas Golden Knights Closing In On Jack Eichel Trade

Hockey fans who hate the Vegas Golden Knights - we have news that isn't going to make you happy. According to Frank Seravalli, the Golden Knights and Buffalo Sabres are close to completing a trade involving Jack Eichel, as they are "well down the track in discussions of what framework of a Jack Eichel trade would look like."

All indications are Vegas and Buffalo are well down the track in discussions of what framework of a Jack Eichel trade would look like.

Where does it stand now? Many moving parts: roster, cap and injury complications. Amadio waiver claim was interesting.

Will it get done? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Seravalli is the second insider who has brought up that Eichel will be traded shortly on Saturday. As we just reported, Darren Dreger said that Eichel trade talks have "reheated." On Friday, John Hoven also noted that the Golden Knights were getting closer to acquiring Eichel.

We have multiple insiders now saying that Eichel is likely heading to Vegas and this new report by Seravalli helps back that up. If Eichel ends up in Vegas, it would be monstrous for them. Even though he would have to miss time due to his current neck injury, he would finally give them that true number one center that they desperately need.
