This is why I think he makes for a great assistant GM. He works hard but doesn't have any experience working for a winning NHL organization and hasn't been able to manufacture it himself. He's likely been busting his ass for months now trying to get a deal done but other teams don't want his junk and he doesn't want other teams junk so he's kind of backed into a corner with an incomplete team, 10+ million in cap space, and nothing to spend it on. Sitting and waiting on the Sabres to trade Eichel isn't a plan as to me it's desperation.
