What I think is funny is all these people trying to acquire Jack Eichel, who isn’t on the trade block, and then getting upset when everyone says ‘no, that’s not enough’. Then, Sabres fans are somehow the crazy ones for asking for more for a player that’s not available.
Understand the Sabres position. They need to win. Trading Eichel doesn’t help unless they’re getting a superstar in return. And still, it would need to be a severe overpayment, otherwise, why do it?
For everyone claiming that Eichel isn’t happy and will request a trade; he never said he isn’t happy and wants out. He said he’s tired of losing (who isn’t? He better say that). That being said, Even if he wanted out, jack has no power. He’s under contract and even if he demanded a trade, the Sabres have no obligation to do so. Jack can hold out, but then what? Lose out on $10MM dollars? Makes no sense.
You want to present an offer, you need to overpay.
