The "SAD STORY” Behind Jack Eichel's Career

[@rippedtopshelf6806]

Eichel should have won the Conn Smythe. Marchessault doesn't even sniff the Smythe without Eichel feeding him glorious tap-in passes.

[@name-vi6fs]

I'm a Vegas fan, and Marchey winning almost felt political. I love the guy, but Eichel not only set him up for numerous goals, but his defensive play is leaps and bounds beyond Marchey.

[@billycarlson3365]

Yes, I agree 100% highly underrated. At this point, it seems like he is more of a playmaker . I predict 100 points at the end of the year. 👍🏻😁🎉

[@jimmyhockey]

For sure, his playmaking skills are incredible!

[@ethanparker7900]

as hope as marchy was in 2023, a part of me kinda was hoping he'd get the conn smythe and was kinda surprised he didn't.

[@jimmyhockey]

Marchy definitely deserved it at the time but based on how Eichel is playing right now he is easily the teams MVP

[@ethanparker7900]

@@jimmyhockey yes it was a very close race between both there really wasn't a right or wrong either way

[@KOBASAUR]

this isn’t a sad story at all, buffalo tried to screw him but looking back, he stood up for his own health and future, is a stanley cup champion, is tearing it up on a great team in a great city, and to top it off he clears 10mil a year

[@ariccua6101]

I think the trade between the Sabres and GKs is basically a win-win, considering that Tuch is a playmaker in Buffalo, too. But judging by the performance of the Sabres lately, it's already starting to become more slanted to Vegas.

[@jimmyhockey]

I wouldn’t say win win, it wasn’t the worst trade but with Jack being a franchise player and some other teams like the flames offering Matthew Tkachuk, they could’ve gotten a lot more had they handled it a little better

Bruh your a beauty idk why people ain’t subbing and liking. You’re gonna blow up soon!!

[@jimmyhockey]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching the videos🙏🏻

[@rippedtopshelf6806]

Paul Kariya was the first freshman to win the Hobey Baker, with Maine in 1993.

[@ThEMarD]

Good to see a Jack Eichel story video, and its great to see him succeed. Buffalo definitely screwed this up, so hopefully their scouts and continue to work miracles for the Sabres and hope they dont mismanage their next star players

[@jimmyhockey]

one of my favorite players to watch during his college hockey days, seeing him be successful has been awesome

[@russellgrosser-7677]

I live in the Buffalo area, and the Sabres are a JOKE of a franchise. Pegula eliminated the scouting department several years back and continuously meddles in its day-to-day operations. Complete incompetency from the top on down. The Sabres simply don't know how to properly build a winning culture, much less a winning team. Pegula needs to sell the Sabres to someone who actually CARES about hockey, and not from a fan-boy perspective. That being stated, I'm VERY happy for Eichel. He stuck to his guns and IMHO did the right thing for himself and for his health. Vegas definitely got the better end of the deal. IMHO Eichel will be in both the NHL and US Hockey HOF some day.

[@justforfun927]

I've never been this early.... Great video as always!

[@jimmyhockey]

Thanks, appreciate you watching!

[@JastwatchingYT]

3 videos in one week is crazy

[@jimmyhockey]

Grinding for you guys👨‍💻

[@thestumpshow3545]

Video discussing all of Wayne Gretzky's trades and why.

[@jimmyhockey]

That would actually be a lot of fun to research

[@NoNico1]

Make a video about Nico Hishier being under appreciated player too

[@NoNico1]

Please make a video about hischier. I am is not even bias because I am a rangers fan

[@Surl9596]

The irony in your name

[@jimmyhockey]

I’ll add it to the list🙏🏻

[@BobsUrunclesMoma2]

Yes, it must really suck to be him SC Ring and all.

[@paulrath7764]

why is this a "sad story?" He's won a Cup, makes big $$, and plays on a competitive team. Sounds quite successful.

[@HenryofHockey]

Whattup big guy?

[@jimmyhockey]

Whattup

[@Dragon3-187]

Buffalo paid him 10 million . Get out of here. He just now wouks be a free agent if wasnt for the NHL commissioner giving a Stanley Cup to Las Vegas.

[@janzkee]

his surgery went well in vegas why couldn't he do it when he was in buffalo? its baffling to me how their management had power in what surgery he gets, its his body.

[@kevinkeith7110]

@@janzkee Other organizations were refusing to allow him to take the surgery at the time too. It’s largely why the shortlist had grown so small with Calgary, Vegas and another one I don’t remember offhand and a large part of why Buffalo didn’t get more off of that trade too. The biggest concern was the disk coming loose a second time, a common issue with ADR, and the increase in the number of games between lower leagues and the NHL. This was also before ADR was done on an NFL player too. In the end he should’ve just been allowed to do the surgery he wanted, but there was a lot more to it than just that at the time as Buffalo was not the only place refusing to let him have the surgery he wanted, like not trying to justify this entirely but there was a legitimate concern at the time with that surgery in the NHL.
