My guess is Brisson is using every avenue to create public pressure on the Sabres to shame then into doing something, either take a bad deal or allow surgery and then take a bad deal.
Mike Harrington took Ryan Callahan to task in his Buffalo News Sunday Inside the NHL column for accusing the Sabres of "generating a lot of noise" around Jack Eichel when the Sabres have said nothing since the presser that removed him from the captaincy.
But that didn't stop Callahan from wrecking the Sabres during that ESPN+ exclusive game against the Bruins. Was it just a guy on his first network broadcast looking to say something profound? Or was it someone doing someone else a favor?

"Callahan, naturally, took the player's side even though the CBA gives Eichel no leg to stand on. And then he admonished the Sabres for "putting a lot of things out there that don't need to be out there, that just make a lot of noise around your team when you're trying to focus on training camp and getting ready for a season."
Pretty ill-informed comment. The Sabres haven't talked about Eichel for one second since the first day of training camp, so no idea what Callahan is talking about. It was the Rochester native's first game on the mic and the inexperience showed. Don't be vague. Say what you mean. If you don't like they took the 'C' away, that's fine. Fair point. But that's one thing. That's not a lot of things. And there was zero noise about it after the first day. Implying otherwise is simply wrong."
