Sabres GM Kevyn Adams words today rang loud and to the point. When questioned on Jack Eichel, and primarily the fact he hasn’t been traded yet, a clear message was sent.
“There is no change on the medical side,” Adams began. “We are continuing to have conversations. What’s critically important to make sure is clear, is that we’re in control of this process. We have a player under contract. We don’t feel any pressure. If there is a deal that helps up we will do it. We don’t feel the need to do something to do something.”
In other words, a team will either pay the king’s ransom I ask for or you will just sit there and rot.
