As NHL free agency continues to unfold, Jack Eichel's situation with the Buffalo Sabres has become one of the more intriguing storylines surrounding the market. Theoretically, the three-time All-Star center should be one of the more attractive trade targets for teams looking outside of free agency. However, asking price and medical concerns have prevented a deal to this point.
Eichel has been dealing with a herniated disk in his neck and has advocated for disc replacement surgery. The Sabres don't seem to agree with that plan, which has created a disconnect between player and organization.
