He has no leverage period. If he doesn't re-sign with Buffalo, he doesn't play. Does anyone think Eichel has the fortitude to sit out a year or two? No. So it's all just bluster that makes him look bad.

Nah, he has some. They can't use him to recruit free agents if he's not going to sell other players on the coach and team. And he doesn't have to sit out a year - without major roster improvements I doubt they win that much if he holds out ten games.

He'd have to get "coach killer" tattooed on his forehead. If he sits out until they fire the coach there's not even an argument - right or wrong it'll be tagged to him forever.

Doesn't he have another year under contract anyway? They can start negotiating July 1st, that's all.

If it actually came down to him refusing to sign, going through arbitration and getting a 1-year contract forced on him, not reporting, missing camp, not getting to use team facilities to stay in shape ... the team isn't going to be the one to blink at that point, no matter how many games Buffalo loses.

DA

Pretty sure he wouldn't be arbitration eligible.

Ah, yes, you're right. He's even worse off.
