Eichel refers to `disconnect' with Sabres on treating injury
Sabres captain Jack Eichel said Monday there has been a disconnect between him and the team since he was injured in March and he raised questions about his long-term future in Buffalo. Eichel said he favors having surgery, while suggesting the team has a different opinion regarding the best course of treatment to repair a herniated disk that has sidelined him since he was hurt. “Obviously, I’m under contract with this team, and they definitely hold a lot of cards on what I can and can’t do,” Eichel said during a 25-minute, end-of-season video session with reporters.
