now we split hairs to find out if he is a top 10 center or not
nothing more, nothing less
as for aho
yes he plays all three phases of the game
31 points in 29 playoff games
game winner in a series
as a sabres fan, yeah jack is worth more so it would be aho plus
cane fan might says it's jack plus for aho
perfect world the sabres camp and jack mend the fence and jack plays like he did in 19-20
but you can't overlook the fact that 6 years into the eichel experiment we are not a top 24 team let alone a playoff team and finished dead last 2 times in this era

This is good homie.
I completely agree, I really havent seen jack's star dimmer at all. He was injured and very highly touted for mvp consideration. (In vegas as well as around the league)
He's still top 5 when you consider his age and contract.
The injury is a simple fix IMO. more posturing than anything.

Is it?
Or is the franchise perpetually on the River Acheron navigating to the shores of Hades?

I missed 89's comments.
Probably saying the same thing , we both have been saying?
Bye bye eichel.
I have been a gigantic eichel fan. 1st sabres jersey purchased since the 90's.
I'm ready for a new and different team. He's part of the problem. - Boss34
89 stated the Sabres are getting sick of Jack's ways...his demands etc.and inferred they are ready to move on....I think it was in Hanks last blog.
Unfortunately, I agree with you in being ready to rebuild the team by trading out the big 3.
Once Jack's NMC kicks in, it could become improbable to extract any real value in a trade return.
Do it now ... perfect timing to maximize opportunity in '22 and '23 drafts.

Agreed
55 can go yesterday.
I have most of my money on Adams makes tones of lateral moves and continued stagnation throughout the organization.

What did 89 say, I missed it - washedup20
Ownership is sick of Eichel's "god complex"
Want to convince Risto and Rino to stay, maybe even make them co-captains and get them extended long-term (b3 as in I made up this last part and sourced myself 3 times).

He called it (and I'm not sure if the Sabres are calling it) Eichel's "God complex".
Curious if anyone knows. You can only “win” the lottery twice in five years (starting next, so nothing to worry about). But what constitutes winning? Only the first overall, or including the second as well (as they draw for two slots currently)

Saw some replies that the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Not only is that the case, but there shouldn't even BE a Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. Such a dumb idea - it's not needed.
Perhaps some of those bands should get in, I guess, but the fact is that most if not all of them suck. I hate just about every one of those bands/artists. All of that music sucks.
Lastly, I pretty much dislike anyone that likes these bands. You can all go to hell.
I realize there's still a lot of games left, but if the Leafs win the North ...
Do you think they play their "home" games here ?
If fans are allowed in, would you go ?
What if they won the Cup and you were there - would you feel disgusted with yourself for paying for it and witnessing them parading around the ice with the Cup ?
If they (or the Habs or Jets) win it all, do they have to quarantine here for 2 weeks before heading back over the boarder ? That would really suck for them.
