Eight more days, Buffalo Sabres fans.
Just eight more days until Jack Eichel (likely) becomes a member of the Buffalo Sabres. What happens from there, we can’t know for certain, but it’s definitely exciting to think that after months of talking about the possibility of Eichel joining the Sabres organization, it’s incredibly close to becoming a reality.
Of course, a lot can happen between now and then. The NHL’s buyout period begins today, 48 hours after the culmination of the Stanley Cup Final. Will the Buffalo Sabres buy out Cody Hodgson? There’s also been trade talks about the Ottawa Senators’ goaltenders, one of which the Sabres could be interested in.
