Damn. That’s tempting. Probably, though I have not been impressed with Jack yet in his NHL career.

Edit: the Sabres defence after that trade

Must be a tough existence. If Jack's never impressed you, then I can only imagine that only one Oiler player in the last 30 years has impressed you.

re-appropriation ruined an actually cool subculture.

A "hipster" today is a bastardized term, and it's unfortunate.

All those Allentown groupies, clones, and they all think they're unique.

Like yeah, cool coy fish tat bro, oh you got a star, too? Oh, a rose, nice. Yeah man, you're really unique.

Yeah, that's what I was saying, they think they're some sort of counterculture, but they're just trendy douchebags, and that's the modern definition of a hipster.

Dahlin’s interview with the Sabres was yesterday so I wonder if anything comes out about it. Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for that.

Sorry, has he lived up to the hype in your world? He is no way near McDavid in any measurable aspect of the game, yet prior to his draft he was considered comparable. He is a far cry from a Generational talent.

Eichel needs to find consistency. He’ll have a stretch of 25 games where he gets 40 points then a stretch of 25 games where he gets 17 points. Playing a 82 game season will help. Having adequate line mates would help too. But McDavid will always be in a stratosphere by himself. It’s just a shame that he plays for the Oilers. Chirelli could screw up a wet dream and should have been fired half way through last season and even got a vote of confidence this offseason. Shows me Oiler management is clueless. Feel bad for the kid.

Injuries have been an issue but the past 2 seasons, he's been right around a .ppg despite them.

If he gets injured this season or scores anything less than 30/60, I'd say your criticism is justified.

But i have watched almost every Sabres game the past 3 years. He's very impressive. He just looks casual and people think that means he isn't impressive. He's smooth AF.

Completely different style than McDerpid. If 97 doesn't score 120 this season, can I say I'm not impressed? It'll be his 3rd full season, so he should be miles ahead of the competition.

I'm still convinced a significant number of men who are self proclaimed feminists, eco warriors, etc. are just doing it for the hippie/hipster ass.

We like Eich just fine.
In head to head games, he is leading both McDavid and Mathews.
And his ceiling is still a mile high.
Once he has some capable wingers to finish his set-ups the kid will be on another level.

You should go troll elsewhere.

Don’t associate me with what you’re into Creepy. The archive doesn’t lie. I’m sure your browsing history doesn’t either. Bad things man, I mean baaaaaaad things.

Sometimes he's kind of a Richard and sometimes he trolls a little, but I wouldn't really call his assertion trolling. Let's be honest, Eichel not only isn't McDavid but he hasn't put up "generational" numbers yet. Can he? Perhaps? Will he? I dunno. Is Patrick Kane "elite" or "generational"? Cause that's what I see Eichel's ceiling being.

HE is not trolling, can we please stop this. Just because he said something you didn't like doesnt mean he is trolling.

Trolling - Eichlel Sucks - I'd rather have Lesser player.

Not Trolling - I don't think Eichel has live up to expectations because...

To be fair, Eichel is no where near McDavid, frankly no one is. McDavid and Crosby are in a call of their own.

Big Difference.


Add - Hopefully Dahlin falls into that class as well.

Probably more of being a d!ck this time. Point is, like a family, we can pick on our players...but damn all those outside the family who start it.

Eichel is elite, however he does need to find his consistency and bring it every game.
I have been very, very critical of his play in the past...however I did see his play improve significantly last year starting in mid/late November ... he needs that as his baseline and then ratchet it up a level in big games. I am hard on him only because I fully believe he can be borderline generational.

Ok Mr. Webster.

I’d define trolling as making a statement that is meant to elicite an emotional reaction.

I think you guys would better off expecting 35-45 points out of Mitts, and perhaps you’ll pleasantly surprised. But expecting 6million bucks worth of production from a rookie is just the Sabres fans way, I guess.

Here’s my early prediction...based solely on what I have read and heard...mostly from his coaches who know him pretty well I’d say. I’m praying for this to be true ...

I think in 3 years time, most Sabre fans will realize that Dahlin is more the heartbeat of the Sabres and probably should be recognized as the captain...no matter who has it at that point (very very high probability it will be Echicel).
I think somewhat comparable to Gretzky / Messier
