Over the past few months, Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel has sat down with Kevyn Adams a few times and began to build a relationship with his new general manager. Eichel said on a Zoom call Wednesday he has found him easy to connect with and enjoyed “a lot of really, really productive conversations with him.” Through their chats, Eichel, 24, has developed an understanding of Adams’ expectations and the type of relationship he wants to create with his players. I want him to get to know me, and I want this to be a situation where we all help each other,” Adams said on a Zoom call Tuesday.

It’s never easy to have a new GM and need to kind of start from Square 1 again,” Eichel said.

Hall’s decision to sign a one-year, $8 million contract with the Sabres on Oct. 11 stunned the hockey world.

The opportunity to play beside Eichel, of course, helped lure Hall, 29, to Buffalo.

Eichel has followed the Buffalo Bills’ closely this season and witnessed the excitement their success has created in the region.
