That requires coordination by the other teams. But if they really want Eichel, only one team gets him. Which one? It's loads of fun punking the Sabres. But who ends up with the prize?
I don't think it's going to be as harsh as some think. I'll take what I saw at the end of last season over 84 games. Without knowing what we get for Eichel or who's in goal, I expect us to finish just outside of the playoffs.
