Do we have to start to wonder if Eichel may be a bit of a problem?

This team has zero fight, it’s a representative of its leaders, no?

despite his bouts with petulancy, I'd consider him the least of their problems

Not only can the Sabres not score, they also give up some of the most high danger chances in the league. I don't even know where to go here.

Mark Messier isn't rescuing this team. It's fair to ask more of him. But considering him a "problem" is beyond far fetched.
- TheSabresTaco


I guess problem is the wrong word there.

When Thompson got out of line with the equipment and fans, it wasn’t Eichel getting after him, it was McCabe.

I’m not asking him to fight, nor do I want him to. although I could see a spark from that, much like when Crosby does it.

I’m asking for him to be a captain, hold a players only meeting, give me any sign of life.

Again, I don’t think problem is the right word. But asking for him to show life, man up and take charge of his team.

If Parise is available do you go after him? What would it take?

Age and cap might be an issue but id rather have those problems than what is presented on the ice lately

I think most people believe it will end up in the $8.5m area give or take, which is pushing it a bit...$9M might be too much
- Michael Pachla


8.5m is uncomfortable. 8 years is uncomfortable. JB simply can't walk away at those numbers. TP could veto, I suppose. They simply have to get this done. I don't think there's a number or reason that people will accept if they don't.

This is fair to ask for. Perhaps he does some of these things, unreported.

I’m actually ready to call out everyone.

Botts:
The ROR trade is turining into a disaster.
We know ROR wanted to be gone but you needed to get something more back.

Other than Skinner, what has he done to improve this lineup, Sheary?

His other trades have been lackluster.

Housley.
You want to talk about a team being a representative of its leader. I can’t listen to him tell me again how good the compete is with this team. Tired of hearing how they never stopped competing.

Pegulas: radio silence.

One of the problems people need to realize is that the parts you had to trade weren't Duchene or Mark Stone or Erik Karlsson. You're selling crap, what do people think he's going to get back. Scandella is so much worse than last year, but we bought him and some secondary scoring in Pommer for a guy MIN bought out and a bot 6 forward. Sheary was basically free. We're made up of promising young players and mostly average vets. This is simply the state of this team.

We really don't have many average vets, or average anything. We have among the worst 2nd and 3rd lines in the league. Our D pairings rate poorly. Our goaltending is dead average, after starting out much better.

If we had more average to fill out a lineup, it would help significantly.

I can jump on board with a lot of this, but I think our goaltending is being sunk by our defense, just as it did last year.

Beaulieu. Gave up nothing. Helped get us Dahlin.

Pominville, Scandella. Again, what did he give up that we're missing so desperately? Ennis? Lol. Foligno? Lol.
