Early morning report here..
I woke up to a text sent to me late last night from the West Coast.
"Sharks are in on Eichel. Ownership wants this/needs this to happen. Tomas Hertl part of the package. Sabres could talk extension with him prior."
Earlier last night I was talking to a source in Vegas who continues to tell me the pressure is largely on McCrimmon to get Eichel and that Vegas ownership have stated very clearly that there are no excuses when it comes to Eichel. It HAS to happen.
Combine this with Brisson's continuing work to broker a deal and there may still be hope for Buffalo to make this deal sooner than expected...
more to come...
