Multiple reports early Thursday morning indicate that the Jack Eichel saga with the Buffalo Sabres is finally coming to an end.
Pending an official trade call, the deal is reportedly this: Eichel and a 2023 3rd-round pick to Vegas in exchange for Peyton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a 2022 1st-round pick (lottery protected) and a 2023 3rd-round pick.
No salary retained by the Sabres.
The expectation is Eichel will have disc replacement surgery very soon. Recovery time varies. Everyone hopeful he will be back on the ice in 4 months.
