Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now: The Jack Eichel speculation likely isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It might be coming to a time where he is looking to get out of Buffalo.
Players like Patrik Laine and Pierre-Luc Dubois are big names that have been already moved this year as they were looking for a change of scenery. One difference is that Eichel is on a massive contract and Laine, Dubois weren’t.
The Boston Bruins don’t have the assets to trade for Eichel. They aren’t going to trade either David Pastrnak or Charlie McAvoy.
