How the player responds matters.
About two weeks after the trade that saw Jack Eichel get moved to Vegas for Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, and a couple other non-player pieces I wrote an article here on Die By The Blade. I wrote that we as supporters of the Buffalo Sabres needed to have some perspective on Eichel’s time here. We needed to be wise and understanding. We needed to appreciate what he did here and what the front office put him through. We needed to applaud him and show the whole league we understand he was hard done by the team concerning his surgery.
