Perhaps this is just a personal preference/observation....which guys in the AHL are NHL ready if that's what you're referring to? I didn't see any player willing the Amerks to a even a playoff spot let alone playoff series victory.

The guys in the AHL, though they have performed admirably in LIMITED roles with the big club. But you build a winner through the AHL, again just my opinion.

Look, the Sabres just traded out their GM, both coaches, many of their scouts. Let those kids (Nylander, Guhle, Fasching, Baptiste, Bailey, etc) marinate another year in the AHL with the demand, you want to make the big club? Then win.

Just my opinion.

Good points made here. Hoping one or two guys prove they deserve the call up...and stay up.. this year.

I don't think Eichel assumes he should get McDavid money. He will want 7mil per range but not McDavid money. Plus, McDavid might as well be the second coming of Jesus in Edmonton. They will pretty much pay him what ever he wants even if it ruins the team.

I think a question that should be answered is, does Eichel need to make more cap hit than ROR? I'd say yeah.

I asked 365 the other day, but seeing as you're a Toronto frequent, I'll ask you too.

Heading to DT TO for a debauchery weekend with a bunch of degenerates. Gimme 3 must see bars, breweries and the best ladies in TO

- TheSabresTaco

Well that's a tough one. Does he deserve to make more than any current Sabre? Yes. Are we paying ROR too much? Yes

Brass Rail is a must for the ballet. Head down to distillery district by Rogers Centre for some micro brewery taste testing. You can also tour the plant down there. They should have some stuff going on this weekend for Canada Day. As for bars just go down to King and Yonge and you got your choice of 7 or 8 bars/clubs in a 2 block radius.

That I'm good with. The OP certainly didn't indicate that all of them were ready, I wouldn't want to mischaracterize anything that was said, but I don't see all the guys ready to come up.

Maybe 1 to 2 in a bottom six role, maybe. But certainly I don't see anyone to crack top 6. They need to develop.

As I'm getting older I realize men have a finite number of those available to them in a life time.

In other words, don't waste them on things like sports.

Further to @TSNRyanRishaug McDavid mention, hearing deal will be around $13.25M for 8 yrs. Big win for EDM to get that term, as opposed to 5

Good GRIEF!!!!

F*CK THEIR CAP.

Leon is going to get 10-12M AAV as well.

Gonna have to deal RNH. Have to eat Lucic's 6x6, Sekera's big deal, AND now Russell's 4x4.

Gross... just Gross. Have to do it to keep the premiere players but they are not going to be able to add good talent outside of ELCs.

Heck, were you even alive for that movie?

Austin Powers? At least when it came out in theaters.

It was already reported that was the area.

Eichel will be getting 10M based on these 2 contracts alone.
