Big news! The @BuffaloSabres will soon announce a contract extension for Jack Eichel. Looking like 8 yrs around $10M per season. #nhl

When they announce Eichel's name on Thursday night KeyBank Center might crumble

You’d think Jack Eichel would have paid himself more.

Eichel gets 10, McDavid gets 12.5, have to think Matthews is right in the middle there #Leafs

A statue like the one for the French Connection, except it's every member of the 2014-2015 Buffalk Sabres around Baby Eichel in a manger

Announce him captain during the player entrances right before puck drop. Last one to come out, "And your captain.... Jack Eichel"
