Jack Eichel says it ‘would be pretty cool’ to play for hometown Bruins

If Sabres star center Jack Eichel ends up on the trade market, the Bruins could be in a good situation to land him.

In an interview with Boston 25’s Sara Underwood that aired Friday, Eichel, a North Chelmsford native, wasn’t shy about giving his thoughts of a potential homecoming.

“Yeah, I think every kid grows up dreaming of playing for their hometown teams,” Eichel said when asked if he’d ever play in Boston. “Whether that happens now or later in my career, whenever – if it ever happens. But it would be pretty cool. Who knows what’s going to happen here in the next little bit.
