I completely disagree.
Eichel was arguably getting close enough to McDavid's play last season. Enough that some fan boys would rather have had eichel than McDavid.
Eichel is a top 10 talent in the nhl
His mvp odds even reflect his value.
Being a boston B!tch and crying injured baby will definitely put a small kink in the appeal.
La for byfield and a few more picks and pieces.
His contract is a deal considering skimmer making 1 million less more 1 more year.
Prime nhl age 24 -29
Kreider and maga isnt gonna cut it 3ER.
Good troll job though if I overlooked it.....

How about the Bill's opening at home vs. The steelers 🛎 - Boss34
Boss, after the response to the Wilson situation by the zealots in the Ranger organization, I wonder how bad MAGA really was? At least we know he is a face puncher. Just hope he punches players on the other team in the face instead of his own.
I'm nervous about the Steelers for the opener. Can Bills beat them 3 years in a row? They used to never be able to beat the Steelers. 3 in a row would be awesome. You see Bills @ Saints on Thanksgiving?

yeah...i get it...but it's not every day you come across a bona fide No. 1 center...over the three seasons prior to this one his 1.06 pts. per game was 15th in the league while playing for the worst organization in the nhl...his pts/gm during that stretch went from 0.96 to 1.06 to 1.15 while his plus/minus went from -25 to -11 to +5...he's just starting to come into his own and it's why i (and probably the sabres) really don't want to see him traded - Michael Pachla
very true, when healthy and motivated he is an elite #1C better than most teams have.
Just that young grade A prospects just have huge value because of the salary cap.
swear to god if we go through like the 4th occurrence of risto saying he's happy to be moved if thats what the team wants and he's still here i will lose it - robz228
He has to be thinking to himself “what the Frank” right ?
3 straight years he’s asked to be traded and then turns out to be him playing 25 minutes a night here

agreed...but ya gotta give to get...although it's easy to expect an ror-type return from this loser organization, at least one prime prospect and a first-rounder (for starters) isn't that far-fetched for a player like that under contract for another five seasons

Eichels injuries are alllll very manageable and he should recover pretty easily. Its not like he blew out his knee or torn ACL. Anything like that. - Sabretooth9
Yea its only his spinal cord and discs that help him move.

PHam said that the core issue he had the previous year was still bothering him at the beginning of the season.
Jack Eichel claims he didn't get injured during the pregame warmup before Thursday's home loss to the New Jersey Devils, contrary to what Buffalo Sabres head coach Ralph Krueger told reporters that night.
After the Philadelphia Flyers shut out the Sabres for the second straight day, Eichel said he got hurt in New Jersey, presumably during Buffalo's win over the Devils on Tuesday, according to The Athletic's John Vogl. He added that the injury that forced him out Thursday, as well as Saturday's contest, wasn't a new development.
The Sabres captain missed the morning skate Thursday and was a late scratch from his team's overtime defeat that evening. After the game, Krueger said Eichel was hurt during the warmup and the injury wasn't related to his absence that morning.
"This was a completely new development," the bench boss said at the time.
Eichel also left Tuesday's game with an injury. However, Krueger said Sunday he wasn't trying to mislead anyone with his statements Thursday.
"When I mentioned it, the specific region that actually took him out of the game (Thursday), the first time I'd heard about it was warmup," Krueger told the media, including WROC's Thad Brown, on Sunday.
"That he was injured and he came out of the Jersey game (Tuesday) injured was clear to me, but it turns out that there was multiple lower-body injuries and whatever," Krueger continued. "The point is that he came out of Jersey hurt. The warmup call and the region that ended up being (aggravated), it was his first time back in his skates since that game and it changed the game."
Krueger added: "I definitely didn't do gamesmanship there. It was just that we had hoped he was going to play that game."
