Jack Eichel Shares Honest Opinion on the Sabres After Winning the Stanley Cup
Eichel's Short Career in Buffalo.
Selected as the second overall pick by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2015 NHL entry draft, Jack Eichel sparked renewed hope among Buffalo fans that the perpetual rebuilding era was finally coming to a close. Fast forward eight years, and Eichel is now savouring the sweet taste of a Stanley Cup victory, having moved on from Buffalo.
Eichel's discontent with the Sabres stemmed from his desire for advanced neck surgery that the organization was hesitant to approve. These frustrations mounted over time, compounded by the team's continuous struggles to construct a competitive roster and his ongoing injury concerns. Eventually, in 2021, Eichel secured a trade to Vegas, leaving behind a cloud of disdain among Sabres fans. Eichel, on the other hand, appears to revel in his personal success, a steep contrast to the challenging circumstances he faced in Buffalo.
Eichel's Recent Comment
In a recent interview with Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic, Eichel made an interesting remark that seemed directed towards the Sabres organization and the fans who may have lost faith in him. With Eichel now holding the esteemed title of a first-line center on a championship-winning team, thanks to his exceptional two years in Vegas, his reputation across the league has undergone a remarkable transformation. After enduring years of subpar rosters in Buffalo, perhaps fans are now witnessing the Jack Eichel they've been waiting for.
While many hockey fans still hold grudges against Jack Eichel, it's clear he's on a new path in the league and playing up to his potential.
