Net Worth

Eichel can exercise his right to sit out his contract if he so chooses, but it seems more likely he’ll be traded instead. Both sides stand to lose, as Eichel wants out of Buffalo where he enjoys an Eich Daddy burger at the arena and holds first-round pick; Detroit General Manager Steve Yzerman may keep options open until it becomes evident they have secured McDavid; while Buffalo must part ways with one of their assets that may or may not offer enough return;

New York Rangers may not be able to afford Eichel’s $10 million salary, but he would serve as an ideal replacement for Mika Zibanejad and provide insurance if Jake McCabe cannot be signed to an extended deal.
