Description

Dreger - Purely speculating, I don't see Sabres forward Jack Eichel playing in Buffalo next season. I believe there's a team out west that's expressed interest in Eichel.

Dreger - Somebody's going to have to pay the right price to trade for Sabres captain Jack Eichel. If they don't get the return needed, then he'll stay in Buffalo. It feels like it's time for a change.

Dreger - Don't know how recent the communications have been, but I've heard the Kings are interested in Sabres captain Jack Eichel. Eichel in LA makes a ton of sense to me. Assuming Jack Eichel is in play, there will be a lot of teams that step up.

I just don't see how any team is willing to give up what he would cost. Someone is going to have to lose the trade, maybe badly, for an Eichel trade to happen. Not saying it won't, because I'll never underestimate the stupidity of some GMs, I just don't see WHY any team would pay what he will cost.

BUF easily takes that and runs. Eichel is elite but that's a lot of elite talent you're giving up. Still think LA could offer something great though.
