Mad respect to Jack Eichel. He at least give Thompson an option to make the deal work for his previous home in Buffalo so Thompson can live out his life while Jack does that in Vegas as a Stanley Cup Winner.

[@barrygerenski6259]

The Sabres totally screwed themselves with not letting him have the surgery. NOW WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH. CONGRATS JACK!!!

[@sincityvgk_961]

I am very, very grateful that we have Jack Eichel on our team. He was the missing piece we needed to win the Stanley Cup. He is a superstar, and he showed in the playoffs in his very first ever appearance winning the cup before Connor McDavid. People can sit there and say Jack Eichel has a bad attitude or is a locker room cancer, but is he really those people who say that don’t really know the person and don’t really know the situation at hand they just want to assume and say things such as that. Jack Eichel is now a champion forever. And there will be hopefully a lot more championships. Headed our way. Going to be tough to get there, but we did it once we can do it again.!

[@Xstr3ngthz]

Why are people comparing him to mcDavid just because they were drafted the same year? It takes a team to win a cup not one player

[@alexandrapreston7283]

​@@Xstr3ngthzExactly wtf?

[@sommebuddy]

Eichel is a good player, McDavid is a generational Talent, there is not enough crack on the planet for anyone to think they are related in anyway, except draft year.

[@stephanea5364]

McDavid is trying tom be the driven force of his team while Eichel left his team to go to another while no being the leader. Totally different. McDavid plays circles around Eichel.

Not really a fan of him or Vegas, but great to see a guy get a second chance, a proper medical diagnosis and procedure after being written off by the team that signed him. Shame on Buffalo management, hope they alter their medical advisors.

Buffalo could not be insured on the non standard procedure, do you think they just let a no.1 pick disappear for nothing? This is what happens when garbage videos release garbage news.

Me too

[@shawnk1899]

To perform the way he does at this level, he obviously loves hockey. & that’s all that really matters.

[@KingCtm]

I would have left to if my team refused to give me the surgery I needed

[@sommebuddy]

Not how it works....they have a contract, if they break it, no other team can sign him.

[@danevertt3210]

Meanwhile……every professional athlete still gets the fusion surgery instead of what Eichel opted for. He had to shop his idea around to many doctors before finding one that would perform the surgery If I was Buffalo, I’d do the same

[@danevertt3210]

How come there was no discussion about him requesting a trade a full year prior?? One year into him signing his 8 year contract????

[@axe2grind244]

Because if there was he would have to make a completely separate video about how bad of an owner Terry Pegula is. All they did was lose the entire time he was there and that is 100% Terry Pegulas fault so stop blaming everyone and ignoring the actual catalyst of the problem….horrible ownership and horrible management. They hired a soccer manager as their f’ing HC for christs sake.

[@NHLLifestyle]

Good idea!

[@pnaygirl1925]

Jack is nothing like the sabres describe him. According to the boys, he came in and never acted like he’s a somebody. He fit in quietly. And oh boy this guy is a stud!!! Amazing player! We feel so secured everytime he handles the puck. He’s happy again! We love him and every single one of the boys in the locker room.

[@sidetrak85]

That's not what many players have said but....He wasn't always like that. As a competitor, you want to win. This team was so poorly built around him that you can't blame the guy for acting out. "You want me to be a leader but there's nothing to lead". I get the guy. Let's not act like he acted professionally the entire time and I would of personally snapped way before. I'm going on 13 month's of poor hiring and I already signed for college (at 37) next year 😂. In order for Eichel and the Sabre's to grow they had to part way's, both sides knew it and both sides are happy. Do you really think the Sabre's would of won a cup with Jack there? Happy for everyone involved.

[@danevertt3210]

Yea what??? There’s been many many players who have gone public about how Eichel acted. You should see what the Buffalo radio station had to say about him after he left……they were finally allowed to open up and speak truth

[@waderay1394]

Is hockey not popular anymore cause i heard on the radio that only 100 thousand came to see the knights parade

[@joek7413]

Eichel asked for a trade before he got hurt, not surprising the Sabres weren't going to honor his request for a surgery that no other active NHL player has had. Glad it went well for him but, if it didn't the Sabres were on the hook for the remainder of his 80mil contract. He's on a good team and doesn't have to be "the guy" because he's no McDavid. Its a good thing the Avalanche were so banged up or it would've been a back to back for them

[@csharp48]

You got any proof that he asked for a trade before his injury? He says that they told him they were going to go into their third rebuild of his career less than six year career, so he suggested, if they are going to rebuild again, they should probably trade Eichel for max value. The Buffalo Sabres decided not to rebuild and thus, Eichel had no need to request a trade. Otherwise, you live in a reality where Buffalo Sabres superstar, and second fiddle to McDavid, requested a trade and literally not one person talked about it for a full year and a half. Buffalo would have never been "on the hook" for Eichel, if that surgery failed. If the surgery failed, the can always reverse and do a spinal fusion. Even if it had failed and Eichel never played a single more game, Buffalo would still not be "on the hook". Whether you are worried about cap space, Eichel would have simply LITRetired and zero effect. Unless you are worried about a billionaires pocket book, in which case, there is a player insurance fund that pays a large chunk of a players LTIRetirement. Eichel is 1000% the guy in Vegas. Who had the most points in the playoffs this year? Also, I'll ask you how many times the Avalanche have beaten Vegas in the Playoffs. What's their record?

[@vickybrogan6959]

"He's on a good team and doesn't have to be "the guy" because he's no McDavid". Oh, this aged well. (Thinking of the Edmonton series where Jack stripped McDavid of the puck and scored an ENG.) Fast forward to November 2023. Wish you the best, Joe, but Jack is doing just fine with the Knights...and he's definitely a leader. Very happy he's a Knight. Cheers.

[@joek7413]

So, he stripped mcdavid of the puck and that makes him better? My point, he's on a good team, the sabres seem happy with tuch and krebs, players that want to be there. eichel is no leader, he failed as a captain, quit on his team and asked for a trade b4 he got hurt. Stone is a leader/captain, eichel is a good player, and STILL no mcdavid. Still don't see my point? Here, enjoy, hart trophy 2017, 2021, 2023, Art ross trophy 2021, 22, 23 rocket richard trophy 2023, best espy nhl player 2022, 23, ted lindsey award 2018, 21, 23. eichel name is on none of these, mcdavid is. eichel never refer as "best player on the planet" eichel probably gave them what they needed to win the cup, but wasn't conn smyth winner, hmm. eichel has one trophy mcdavid wants, the cup, but so do a lot of other lesser players. cheers

[@vickybrogan6959]

I never said Jack would be 'the best player on the planet' BUT he still has a cup, and he certainly can go for other awards (he's got time), and he's still a leader in the room (among many). Mark Stone is our captain, no denying it (he's my fave) but I'm sure Jack is a voice in that room. I can't speak for McDavid, but I'm pretty sure he'd like to have his name on the one Cup that matters. Cheers. @@joek7413

Sabres just lose an asset that they invested $80,000,000 dollars into? The world doesn’t work that way bro - he had a contract because of his skill, and athleticism and health……he’s essentially, property or an investment.

seethe more. By all accounts his Vegas teammates love him. Buffalo is a shit franchise who has never won a damned thing and never will. I guess only the players within the locker room in Buffalo can tell you the true story of what happened, but if you think hes going to be a cancer in Vegas, you are totally wrong. Team culture is too strong to let that happen. Something Buffalo wouldnt know anything about. I admit I had to decode your rambling comment which was obviously typed blindfolded, so if there is any point you want to clarify, please feel free.
