Blockbuster! Jack Eichel Traded to Vegas

By; Maeve Hushman, Staff Writer

After the Buffalo Sabres’ disastrous 2020-2021 season in which they famously went on a 18-game winless streak, there was a lot of speculation that their star center and captain, Jack Eichel, had requested a trade. Eichel is one of the best Americans in the NHL right now; he was drafted second overall in 2015 behind the best player in the league Connor McDavid. Eichel trade talk dominated both the 2021 trade deadline as well as the entire off-season. People were listing off all sorts of teams who could be interesting, among the most intriguing was the power-house Vegas Golden Knights. On November 4th, it was announced that Eichel and a 2022 3rd round pick had been traded to the Golden Knights for Payton Krebs, Alex Tuch, a 2022 1st Round pick, and a 2023 2nd round pick.

Slow Week: Avalanche take 3 of 4 points

By: Maeve Hushman, Staff Writer

The Avalanche only played two games this week (or at least in the Saturday-Friday timeline I cover). It is a much smaller sample size, but no less important to the analysis of the Avalanche’s play. They beat the Wild 4-1 and then lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 in overtime.

Things to Fix:

Will the Avalanche ever play a full 60 minutes of hockey? The world may never know. In all seriousness, even when they win there have been periods in which they take their foot off the gas. In the Wild game it was in the second period and had no real consequences, but in the Columbus game it allowed the Columbus Blue Jackets to score 4 uninterrupted goals. The Avs came back by the skin of their teeth and by two bad icing moves by the Blue Jackets. I really sound like I’m a looping recording, but if you cannot play a full 60 minutes of hockey it is much harder to win. There should be no moments off, the Avalanche need to come out of the gate fast and dominant, then maintain that. Kuemper really saved them in that second period against the Wild and when he wasn’t in net Johansson, despite a tremendous showing in the first and second periods, could not pick up the slack.
