Jack Eichel: "I have a lot of thinking to do in this offseason. I think that there& #39;s a lot that I have to consider. But for now, obviously, I& #39;m here." https://twitter.com/BuffaloVogl/status/1391788460978102277">https://twitter.com/BuffaloVo...

Jack Eichel essentially says the Sabres wouldn& #39;t let him have surgery on his herniated disk in his neck.

His body, his choice?

"It doesn& #39;t work like that. I wish. ... I& #39;m under contract with this team and they definitely hold a lot of cards on what I can and can& #39;t do."

Jack Eichel on him and the Sabres: "I& #39;ve got to do what& #39;s best for me and they& #39;ve got to do what& #39;s best for them. ... There& #39;s a lot to process. ... I& #39;m sure these conversations will be had and things will go from there."
