Photos: Sabres training camp Day 2

The Sabres opened training camp on Thursday and they will be off Saturday, an unusual choice for just the third day of camp.

General Manager Kevyn Adams met with Sabres players Wednesday to quell any possible concerns about Jack Eichel.

"I'm going to keep saying it, we need to build around people that want to be here for the right reasons," Adams said.

The Buffalo Sabres are 100% vaccinated, General Manager Kevyn Adams told reporters Thursday as training camp began at KeyBank Center.

Eichel has five years remaining on a contract that carries a $10 million cap hit. He will train elsewhere and won't be around the team during training camp.
