Jack Eichel Admits Sabres Wouldn't Let Him Have Surgery

Monday was an interesting day for Buffalo Sabres fans as captain Jack Eichel opened up about a lot of things, including his future in Buffalo. While there were some surprising moments during his discussion, nothing was more shocking then the news he needed to have surgery and the Sabres kept denying it from happening.

It’s going to be interesting to see how this saga unfolds. I don’t believe a medical grievance has been filed with the NHLPA, but I’m told Eichel’s agent, Peter Fish has been speaking with PA reps. https://t.co/3Wi72DByf5

Eichel's agent is currently in talks regarding a medical grievance and is gathering more information from several sources. Eichel was visibly pissed off and frustrated during today's news conference and it's only a matter of time before he's traded.
