On Thursday, Jack Eichel returns to KeyBank Center and Buffalo for the first time since being traded, as the Vegas Golden Knights face off against the Buffalo Sabres.
What will the reaction be when Eichel steps onto the ice?
Some may be inclined to boo him, but I’ll say it right now: I think those people would be in the wrong.
Yes, he left. Yes, he wanted out. No, the two sides didn’t part on good terms. And of course yes, he’s finding quick success in Vegas.
But really.... can you blame him?
