Jack Eichel is coming back to Western New York. It will be the second time that Jack Eichel returns to Buffalo, New York at KeyBank Center since he was traded to Las Vegas...and we all know how that went.
There's pregame routines, and then there's what Jack Eichel would do as a member of the Buffalo Sabres. His pregame ritual recently went viral, and it's a lot.
He hasn't second-guessed the decisions he's made about his medical situation. He doesn't regret how it all unfolded in Buffalo...but he does have a regret.
Assuming that the former Buffalo Sabres' netminder is accurate in his claims, the NHL is going to have a lot of explaining to do, and a lot of changes to make.
The relationship between Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres was already fractured. That being said, the news that surfaced this morning may be the death blow.
