The messaging out of BUF is Sabres aren’t shopping Eichel, there’s no real desire to trade him, but since Kevyn Adams became new GM several clubs have called about Eichel’s availability. NYR believed to be one of the teams that called. So calls were made; calls were taken.

None of those talks with other clubs resulted in Eichel trade traction. But it’s also believed there has been dialogue between Eichel and BUF to ensure they both want the same thing (to get better obviously) and share the same timetable (sooner rather than later).

So, the face-value review appears as follows: Eichel doesn’t want out of BUF; BUF doesn’t want to trade Eichel; move along, nothing to see here. Fair enough. But some rumours are worth checking out/mentioning. Which I’ve now done. Now back to draft prep.

We learned nothing today

Disagree. I think this was clearly a message from Eichels camp to be he Pegulas (a week after the internal cap news hit the wire). Time to get serious about winning.

Beautiful. Now to sift through the 800 proposals suggesting that its a conspiracy, and just HOW much do the rangers have to add to lafrenniere, or if 1oa is too much for a player who clearly demanded to be traded.
