As NHL Rumors were circulating the past couple days about the Vegas Golden Knights having interest in a Jack Eichel trade, it appears Eichel could be traded this weekend.
Darren Dreger was on Toronto’s local sports station TSN 1050 and reports trade talks heated up with the Buffalo Sabres and now they seem to have cooled down a little bit but that can change with one simple phone call.
Dreger went on to say, the hope is from both sides, the player’s perspective and the Buffalo Sabres, that they do find a trade that works. Otherwise, his Player’s Association grievance is coming. If the trade does happen, Jack Eichel could be under the knife and having disk replacement surgery early next week.
Dreger did not mention the one team that was close to making a trade, but it is believed it was the Vegas Golden Knights.
