Jack Eichel's next team's betting odds are already released
"I've been a bit upset about the ways things have been handled since I've been hurt," he said. "I'd be lying to say that things have moved smoothly since my injury. There's been a bit of a disconnect between myself and the organization. It's been tough at times. Right now, for me, the most important thing is just trying to get healthy, figure out a way to be available to play hockey next year, wherever that might be."
Bet Online, an online betting website, has already published odds on where Eichel will play in the 2021-22 NHL season. Eichel will pack his belongings and travel through the state of New York to Manhattan to wear the blue, red, and white of the New York Rangers, who are currently at the top of the list with +250 chances. Of course, the Original 6's front office and coaching staff are currently undergoing dramatic changes, and including Eichel in a mega trade will just be the latest major change in the Big Apple.
Eichel could get a chance to work on his tan and relax on the beach. Given that the Los Angeles Kings are second on the list with +250 odds, that's a fair wager.
Take a look at the full list of teams that could be lucky enough to land Eichel's services behind the Rangers and Kings:
Arizona Coyotes +400
Boston Bruins +500
Calgary Flames +600
Minnesota Wild +800
Detroit Red Wings +900
Columbus Blue Jackets +1000
Philadelphia Flyers +1400
Washington Capitals +1600
Chicago Blackhawks +2000
Montreal Canadiens +2200
Toronto Maple Leafs +3300
Eichel is under contract through the end of the 2025-26 season, and carries an annual cap hit of $10 million.
