dude, he'll need to play college for three more seasons in order to do that...wadr, it doesn't make sense to me...he's an nhl-ready talent
- Michael Pachla

and that's the dumbest loophole ever more and more college players are doing this every year mike reilly is about to do it and he's going to sign with Minnesota how stupid is that the Blue Jackets are going to lose a stud defenseman and they can't do anything about it

Kind of my point

Need a cookie then for proving yourself right with the obvious "Well, he could go pro or he could stay college!"?

Way to go tiger!

Even with Eichel and Reinhart here, I could see Buffalo still in the mix for a top 3 pick.

The learning curve is always there.

Of course they will be, all non-playoff teams are.

Food trucks are going to get the biggest pay day of the year

If he stays in school for the full 4 years he can become a UFA after his senior season right?

I believe so, been reading things that sounds like it would take 3 years?

yeah but you know they lazy as hell making the food taste good because all these little high heads will eat anything lol

So I get poop on the stick

I thought it was the full 4 years and then you can become a UFA, but not 100% sure not that it will happen anyway

It was never a 2 year rebuild, Murray just said that these 2 drafts are the most important, the foundation of the rebuild. He's even stated its going to take more then just these two drafts so youre dumb
- Prospy1493

I agree. Most on this thread did not. I don't know how you could call me dumb? What does that make all the posters on here arguing with me that it was going to be a 2 yr rebuild tops?

I don't think it does either, not with what is being called such an elite talent. Pretty sure the other cases weren't guys that were ever considered that highly ranked

Stated this the other day Boos - if Eichel goes back to BU for a year, then Buffalo gets an even more developed franchise player that will be on an entry level contract even later and it gives the rest of the team a "free" year to develop amongst themselves.

it's not only Eichel that will be added to the team, it's: Pysyk, Grigorenko, Larsson, Reinhart, etc. A year for them to all meld is not going to hurt
- stashu

Never a bad thing having him develop more.

I have to think If that's his plan then they'll just move him to a team he'd sign with

McLellan out in SJ. New Buffalo coach?

Nah it wasn't that. Read it in a few different articles and stated it when discussing Eichel on here and was called an idiot for it. That's about it.

That and plus why risk injury the next few years and miss out on a couple of million. Too much of a risk to stay for the remainder

Never a bad thing having him develop more.

Better question is if you cant have him on the big club next year do u just take a knee so to speak and plan for 16-17

I agree. Most on this thread did not.
- Cptmjl

Sure, not exagerating at all of course

Actually not at all with that debate.

Torrey Mitchell should be brought back to center the 4th line IMO.

kinda off topic but is there any news on coaching changes in rochester?

I don't think it'd be a bad plan. Stuff those cup boards even more and give some of these guys more time to develop the right way. I think a lot of you guys would disagree with that and i can understand why as an Islander fan.

Doubt it...Babcock could still be possible failing that...I believe it will be Luke Richardson

there is no chance if he stays then I know he's pulling some shi!t that means he will pull a blake wheeler, justin schultz ,kevin hayes type of bull sh!t. there's absolutely no reason why he would stay he won every goddamn award there's nothing left what would be the point the only one I can think about would be the loophole
- gerbe75pts

what if he gets injured in the worlds

Not that I would call anyone in particular dumb, but I think we can all agree that intelligence is not a prerequisite to join HockeyBuzz.

Liking hockey and enjoying antagonizing others seems to be the only real requirements.

With Buffalo's lottery luck, they'd finish dead last again next season and lose all 3 lotteries
