News Reveals The Golden knights Tried To Trade Their Star Player But Nobody Wanted Him
When the Buffalo Sabres and Las Vegas Golden knights made the deal to send super star Jack Eichel to go to the Golden Knights many believed that made were the odds on favorite to win the Stanley Cup. However unfortunately for Vegas and Eichel that didn't happen infact the Golden knights didn't even make the playoffs, and worse for Eichel, the Sabres players they got it return for Eichel Peyton Krebs, and Alex Tuch were both thriving in Buffalo.
Buffalo Sabres fans and Sabres Insiders would also make it clear especially after the Golden Knights missed the playoffs that Is Jack Eichel isn't the player everyone made him out to be and in hindsight the Sabres appeared to be better off trading Eichel then when he was playing in Buffalo.
Infact the Jack Eichel trade is the gift that keeps on giving. Fans continue to roast him long after he left town, and he is now easily the sports world's public enemy number one here in Western New York.
It also appears the Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon might have some Jack Eichel buyers remorse because WB Buffalo News site revealed that the Golden Knights where looking to trade Eichel when the Golden Knights tried to make a pitch to trade Jack Eichel to make cap space to acquire Matthew Tkachuk. No word on if the Golden Knights offered Eichel up in the trade for Tkachuk but definitely a possiblity.
That obviously didn't happen because Tkachuk is now a Florida Panther. But with the horrendous salary cap situation the Knights left themselves in after obtaining Eichel McCrimmon might be looking to try to pawn Eichel off on another team very soon.
