Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Buffalo Sabres trade talks with teams involving Jack Eichel ‘are getting more intense and serious.’
A first-round pick will be just one of the pieces Sabres GM Kevyn Adams would be looking to acquire in a package for Eichel.
Teams that make sense to trade for Eichel include the Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers.
The Kings are looking for top-six forward. The Wild need a top center. The Blue Jackets really need a No. 1 center and have three first-round picks this year.
