Wait a minute.
Why is Jack Eichel rocking an "A" on his new #9 Buffalo Sabres sweater?
Eichel is the captain of the Sabres now. Isn't he?
The 21-year old face of the franchise is entering the first season of his 8-year, $80 million mega-contract.
I'm not happy about the "A" on Eichel's sweater.
I get it. Bauer doesn't name the Buffalo team captain. Jason Botterill and Phil Housley do.
Let's just see what tomorrow brings.
Why put a letter on Eichel's sweater at all for a Bauer promo shoot?
Ryan O'Reilly was traded to St. Louis on July 1.
Eichel is the captain of the Buffalo Sabres.
No. Questions. Asked.
Eichel was a guest of Bauer Hockey at an Bauer hockey player event that was held in New Hampshire. Hilary Knight, Patrick Kane, Andrei Vasilevskiy, David Pastrnak and lother players attended the event.
