This has got to hurt.ย 

Buffalo Sabres playerย Jack Eichel was thisclose to securing a multimillion dollar bonus for the season.ย 

Eichel was positioned to earn an extra $2 million if he finished the season in the NHL's top 10 in points per game, according to CapFriendly (h/t SB Nation's Pat Iversen).ย 

However, he came up just shy of the 0.94 points per game he needed to secure his top-10 spot. His 0.93 mark put him at No. 11 behind Oilers forwardย Leon Draisaitl.ย 

Ouch.
