GM met with SUPERSTAR player in private to discuss team’s future

When the Buffalo Sabres picked up Jack Eichel as their first round pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft the city suddenly found back their hope on the team. The reality is the Buffalo Sabres’ season has been a total disaster. During the season, Dan Bylsma took a decision that seemed pretty surprising as he decided to bench his star player Jack Eichel.

Tim Murray met with the press and took full responsibility for Sabres’ dismal season. Here’s what he had to say regarding Dan Bylsma and Jack Eichel as reported by John Vogl

“Maybe they can put a coffee in their hand once in a while and do two hours of video instead of three and get out and get to know our players, talk to our players. It’s about coaching individuals a little more and coaching system a little less.” He said regarding his head coach Dan Bylsma.

I made a promise to him that I would do the best that I could to make the team around him better and that we will be a long-term playoff team.”

Will a simple promise be enough to keep him with the team? Players like him don’t want to waste their career in a losing environment.
