“We weren’t in the market necessarily for another centerman. “I believe if you look at Stanley Cup champions, an elite center is certainly a big, big part of that,” Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. The Knights also receive Buffalo’s third-round pick in 2023 as part of the trade. To land Eichel, the Knights sent forward Alex Tuch, forward prospect Peyton Krebs, a conditional first-round draft pick in 2022 and a second-rounder in 2023 to the Sabres. Jack Eichel became the latest high-priced standout to join the Knights in their pursuit of a Stanley Cup after a mammoth trade was completed with Buffalo early Thursday. The Golden Knights filled their need for a franchise center. Eichel is scheduled to address the media during an end-of-season session on Monday, May 10, 2021, for the first time since being sidelined by a herniated disk in March.
