While the Buffalo Sabres deal (or not) with Jack Eichel, they have a key RFA that needs to be signed.
Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin has no arbitration rights, which means the Sabres hold all the cards. However; with the difficulty they’ve had retaining star players, it might make sense to work out a long-term deal with the former first overall pick in the 2018 Draft.
