If this is accurate, I think Eichel is gone within 2 weeks

The comments there and overall show me that many dramatically overrate prospects.

Sabres fans love Cozens, but if he was the key piece in a trade to get a player like Eichel, he gone.

Bingo, none of these players like Byfield, Zegras are projected to have a ceiling like Eichel.

If the Sabres trade Eichel and don’t get that teams top prospect and top pick in this draft then the trade isn’t worth it

Just connecting things, there has been no talk of 2nd interviews with anyone, and with what Friedman said about clarity by the end of the week, and Weekes saying Rod is basically a done deal in Carolina. Unless Adams really wants to talk to Lambert, but then your looking at another week or 2, just to much falling into line.

Sure you can. Especially when it doesn't fit certain narratives of how teams are supposed to win in the NHL

The playoffs is just different than the regular season. A grittier team with uglier analytics, and I know you're going to love that I brought that into this, has a greater chance to win in the playoffs, in a small 7 game series. It's just different hockey, and I don't think hockey analytics has caught up to that yet.

Yeah, makes sense. I think we're at where at where we were at the beginning - unless Rod or Gallant was interested its going to be Granato. I don't see how any of the guys could blow someone away enough in an interview for it to not be him.

In statistics the unlikely event does happen sometimes. It need not be any more complicated than that.

You mean put a teams 2C on a stretcher and watch another team play without its top line Center due to suspension in an already week division ?

Exactly, I think teams know what Eichel can bring, stating so and so isn't available is just posturing.

Someone in the know needs to implore Adams to make some news here, lol. We desperately need something to talk about until the draft(s).

If it's #3, Comtois, another prospect (not Zegras) and a cap dump, is it a fail?
