According to information leaked by insider Elliotte Friedman, Jack Eichel has hired highly regarded player agent Pat Brisson. This is a huge update in this matter, considering Brisson is one of the best player agents in hockey.
Remember that Eichel is currently waiting for a transaction, he desperately wants to leave Buffalo. In addition, the American forward would like to have surgery to repair a broken disk in his neck. However, the Sabres would not want him to go under the knife because no other player in the NHL has undergone this type of medical procedure. However, a surgery of this magnitude will greatly help the center's long-term health.
