Well it's May

Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams is expected to meet the media Wednesday. He previously addressed Eichel's injury April 15 and said at that time that he had a group conversation with doctors, Eichel and his agents to "make sure we were all on the same page" and discuss what steps to take moving forward.

"The next steps were to shut Jack down for this season, continue to do his rehab and then we will re-examine him early in May and see where we are then and the appropriate next steps will again happen," Adams said.

"I think the key here is that we all want the same thing for Jack and Jack included, we all want him to be back on the ice 100 percent healthy and we all feel

Vancouver is in cap he’ll already as it is.

Maybe they can do a Reinhart for Horvat/Miller deal ?

Other than that I’m not sure where he can fit in there.

If someone sends in an offer sheet for Pettersson they will have to do some maneuvering just in that instance
- Pegullaville

Horvat is their captain so I don't think so. Miller I think they'd like to keep.

I'm sure they would love to dump Tanner Pearson. Pearson and Hoglander (plus picks?) for Reinhart

This is because Murrary was a garbage GM. There is no reason the team shouldn't have been able to build around Jack. The guy would be easily the # 1 pick in almost any other draft year. Him and Matthews would have been a toss up next year, but at the time I would have given the edge to Jack. He would have easily been the # 1 pick in 17 - 20. I think you need to go back to Tavares in 09 to find a guy more hyped coming into the draft. Jack easily goes # 1 in 2010 - 14. MacKinnon may have developed better, but Jack was a bigger prospect coming into their draft years.

I thought I read that his agent was looking into it
- Stripes77

Yes they are, doesn't mean they couldn't have put a grievance in last month. Most Doctor's are gonna say PT should be followed first, and articles I have read and Dog posted said they had come to a agreement that therapy would be followed and when May came around things would be looked at again. Even if Surgery I's done by June, the guy could be back on the ice by the end of August doing certain things.

one thing that nobody has mentioned


is this what a team captain is suppose to say?

"My No. 1 interest and my No. 1 goal is Jack Eichel"

2 takes

1. Jack didn't need to call out the Sabres upper management and owners but he chose to anyhow

2. when asked if he wanted to be traded, first worlds out of his mouth was
“I have a lot of thinking to do"


hopefully we get a decent return and someone decent wears #9 for my 4th nameplate on that jersey
- homiedclown

I've decided to burn my number 9 jersey.... Started with Ott. to Kane. To Eichel. I think its cursed. Every name plate i've put on there they all left.

Speaking in the third person is never a good look. Ever

Yeah. If this is as calculated as he believes it to be, there's no way Jack drops bombs like this without having his ducks in a row.

But I don't think it is. I don't think Jack's all that clever. I think he's just fed up.
- BINGO!

Jack's not particularly clever, but his answers were predetermined. His agent and public relations people advised him prior, what questions to expect and how too answer them.

They press tried to confuse him, by asking the same thing differently. Didnt work.

He gone

When he is treated like SH**. Yes.

the team is garbage owners are garbage, GM is garbage.

Sports are probably different, but nothing said there seems to be wrong about Jack's situation. I mean I had a lot of Surgeries the last few years, and PT was always done before I could have the Surgery, well until these last few but I was already in PT.

Dude.

They don't want him to get a surgery he feels is needed. I'd trust the guy with the injury before I trust the nimrods upstairs.

When you have a serious injury in major sports you need to look after yourself first and foremost. I don't blame him. Blunder after blunder. Owners and management keeping screwing the pooch.

perspective. a neck injury is serious.

Context.

If he was talking about a contract, I would be upset. When he's talking about his health, it's a completely different story.

April 15
Adams were on all on same page to wait till end of season

Eichel lying to get moved

- TheSabresTaco

agreed


but not once did he say he looked forward to getting back on the ice with his team mates


he gone

You must really be a huge fan of him and the sabres. You want to be right so badly about him being gone.
- Carubba-Kaleta

Absolutely a huge eichel fan.
1st jersey I've purchased in 20 years.
50th Chinese jersey....

Season ticket holder who has defended his talent for years. Gonna be less exciting with out him.

Although winning would be more exciting.

I can't help that others didnt see the obvious yesterday with the interview.

Maybe you keep being a huge fan, that might change his mind?

He gone

Personal opinion on this specific quote, this was in regards, or at least alluding to his injury, life outside of hockey, and long term health. Which should be for everyone.

Yes, in a situation like this.

It has to be.

I didn't know that about Adams, but riddle me this, if he got a 2nd opinion and it varied wildly from the team doc's, why not place a grievance with the NHLPA? The way it's being presented is that he could have forced surgery if he truly wanted it to happen.
- RhinoFan

The longer eichel goes without surgery, the longer he can use surgery as leverage. Get paid to "sit out"

Eichels interview devalued his worth.

He also followed it up by saying that the organization also has to look out for its own best interests. Big context missing in all of this.

- homiedclown

Seems weird to look at the absolute poopshow the team has been since before he arrived and be mad at Jack Eichel.
