shrader Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Damn, next summer scares me. As I mentioned up thread, not about money, but about term. What if someone offers him 4years, $7.8M . Comp is a first, second and a third . Eichel makes it all abck by being UFA at age 25. Maybe the Bruins make that offer? Unless he gets hurt prior to the end of that deal. Signing anything short of the max term is a huge gamble. It's easier to make that choice when it's only a 1 year gamble, but it's much more risky when it is 4. There's way too much that can happen. He'll sign for 8 years and won't think twice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nine years in Buffalo including this one. Even better. He's going to be insane this season. He's one of those few guys in any sport that has insane talent and the overachiever gene and drive to be better, to be the best and to prove people wrong. I think he has the Brady and Thurman fire in his belly to prove everyone wrong, and that he's as good as McDavid, even if he's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nice! I was hoping for the AAV to come in under $10M, but I figured that wasn't all that realistic on an 8yr deal, half of those being UFA years. Thrilled to have Eichel in Buffalo for 9 more years!

26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 @john_wawrow Eichel's agent Peter Fish tells AP Eichel elected to take less money to allow #Sabres more room to make moves under the cap. Eichel's agent also tells AP talks heated up today when he contacted #Sabres and revisited numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
