LeBron had massive input in everything from day one in Cleveland.

Believing otherwise is foolish IMO.

Crosby controls the Pens, foolish to think ownership will not listen to what Eichel says.

This is probably the most likely scenario

saddest part is if they can bylsma you could make the argument that Quinn is the best available candidate (if he wants it).

But all anyone will think is eichel just crying to get his way. just keep him for now and focus on the defence. If you put a non-eyesore product out there and they still look bad in november then you can fire his ass and nobody will think twice.

Saw post on FB from Dave Davies that Jack stated, "if Bylsma remains coach he will not sign contract extension". Is this too much power for 20 year old?

And Eichel isn't Lebron.

Lebron makes your team a finals contender instantly. Eichel can't get us out of the bottom 10 yet.

One guy plays what, 90% of the minutes of the game nightly while they other can play 35%, maybe 40% at most?

absolutely but nobody got fired as a result of it. they were a bad team because they didnt have enough talent, even he recognized that

The coach before Bylsma was a dinosaur, no longer in the league
The coach before that was an AHL caliber assistant, no longer around
The coach before that was just fired from Dallas because his defensive system is laughable


Can't wait for this magical next coach to be hired and fix everything instantaneously

LeBron was calling his own plays and diagraming them almost from the start, well before he 'won' anything.

Connor McDavid is more King James just sayin

Jack eichel would be Russell Westbrook

You made the comparison, I didn't

it is entirely possible eichel is right about the coach and the system. Gotta wait till after you address the defence to say that though.

Just sayin not trying to start anything, I don't think there is anything about this team or anything this team can do that you will like.

There is little correlation between the effect one star hockey player has on his team compared to one star NBA player has on his with the disparity in percentage of time played in relation to the length of the game.

My only point is that star players in every sport have a ton of say. It's been that way for a while and will continue to be.

its unreal how bad its been

No he really isn't.

Look if you guys want to just sit Jack I'm sure the Canes would be more than happy to give you Hanifin+ for him.

Yeah idk man is it so hard to believe that Bylsma might just be a serious (frank)ing bumhole? We drafted Eichel, well, rather, we "tanked" that season for the chance to draft McDavid/Eichel to be the face of the franchise.

This hasn't happened to the Sabres since the 70's.

You absolutely should be pampering his balls with baby powder right now.

Moving forward if we blow next year with a new coach, we have much bigger issues than an unhappy franchise player.

I'm not a Bylsma fan. I also don't think you can just let the team decide who their boss is.

Fire him based on performance. And hold Murray to the same standard

agreed, thats why they should wait till november and fire them both

- BINGO!

We will give you Reinhart+ for Hanafin.

Reinhart, 1st, Gorges, Ennis for Hanafin and two 2nd round picks.
