Man, everybody just assumes this is about money, and it could be. Eichel may want McDavid or even max money, and to date, he has not earned it. Nor do i think the Sabres should pay it. Good for Jack betting on himself and saying I will earn it this year.
But bigger fear for me is what if Jack is insisting on a 4-year term? Oh boy, now we got a problem Houston. And what if someone term sheets him next with a 4-year term, now you got an issue.Max money and max term, they match. 4-year term is the worst thing that can happen to this team.
