Jack Eichel posted a cryptic tweet on Thursday afternoon.
The superstar’s message had only a single character: an emoji.

The DRAMAAAA.
According to Emojipedia, it’s the Unamused Face. Per the site:
A yellow face with slightly raised eyebrows, a frown, and eyes looking to the side. May convey a variety of negative emotions, including irritation, displeasure, grumpiness, and skepticism, as if giving the side-eye.
So what could be making Jack feeling so blue? Here are a few ideas.
- EA Sports passed over him to make Auston Matthews its cover athlete for the second time in three years, which virtually everyone is confused about.
- The MLB is ending its 70-year relationship with Topps and giving its trading card license to Fanatics.
- The Sabres’ first overall pick, defenseman Owen Power, won’t play for the team next year and is returning to college.
- Or maybe it’s the whole Buffalo-won’t-let-Jack-get-the-neck-surgery-he-wants-and-still-haven’t-traded-him thing. Yeah, it’s probably that.
Jack’s tweet comes days after New York Rangers podcasters dropped thousands of dollars for a billboard next to KeyBank Arena which reads #FREEJACK and nearly a month after Eichel’s representation ripped the Sabres for not moving the forward yet.

Do you think Jack will be moved anytime soon?
