I actually expect that Jack Eichel will not be traded this summer. Teams will not match the Sabres asking price therefore he probably doesn’t go anywhere until they are willing to. If Jack Eichel doesn’t like that he doesn’t have a choice. What he does have a five-year contract that he can’t get out of. There is no set timeline that Jack Eichel must be traded within, unless you mean five years until his contract expires. Even after next season when the no movement clause kicks in The Sabres can shop him if he still wants to leave, but they’re still under no obligation to trade him. When someone is willing to match the asking price if Jack doesn’t want to go there the Sabres can still tell him to waive that no movement clause or he doesn’t go anywhere. If he really wants to leave badly enough he will go anywhere that is not here.
