In the early hours of Thursday morning everyone knew that Jack Eichel had been traded to the Vegas Golden Knights from the Buffalo Sabres, but the details of the trade and return for Buffalo weren’t made evident until everyone had woken up and had scrolled through Twitter a little bit already.
Don’t worry — this isn’t a post about Jack Eichel, since he did not attend Boston College.
In the trade, Buffalo acquired Boston College men’s hockey alum Alex Tuch, along with Peyton Krebs and a few draft picks. Tuch was three years into a 7-year extension he signed in Vegas after a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2018.
