Since landing with a team in Buffalo that has underperformed for years, Jack Eichel's future has been debated every offseason.
The most common teams listed as potential suitors are the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers but there will be many more teams interested even with the injury concerns.
Friedman suggests that the Boston Bruins will likely try, while also listing Philadelphia Flyers, Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens as teams that have enough young pieces to get a deal done.
Pierre LeBrun said today on TSN's Insider Trading that the Minnesota Wild are another potential fit. That will not be an exhaustive list of potential buyers if the Sabres truly make Eichel available this offseason.
UPDATE:
Jack Eichel ended up getting traded to the Vegas Golden Knights and became a Stanley Cup Champion.
