Per the instigators, per Dreger, teams are annoyed with the Sabres.

I actually like that as the last two GM's were probably seen as easy to work over.

Power didn’t play top PP time. That’s why his points weren’t great

He’s going to make people who doubt his offense look very, very stupid this year

- sbroads24


Right, and if he doesn’t beat out Cam York how is he going to beat out Rasmus Dahlin for PP1 minutes ?

Even the scouts that say he’s the bonafide #1 OA pick say they don’t think he should be running a #1 PP unit in the NHL

I *almost* want the Rags to trade for him to see these fans pissing their own (frank)ing pants. Christ they're worse than Tronna fans.

This is why I have zero issues if deals get done today. I want firsts next year.
- atlsabsfan


Definitely, very good post.

Hopefully unprotected 1sts....

Trading for eichel would make a team feel very comfortable, that they would not finish in the bottom 10.

Apparently it was more to do with Risto than others.

He's on later so I guess we will find out.

Still can't believe Rag fans think Laf is untouchable status. Some even think Laffo Kakko is.

Honey...

Post an actual quote or I’ll assume this is completely made up because I’ve yet to read that the guy who’s getting praised for his blue line work, and instincts is incapable of running a PP

Mann/Portillo in net.

Cam York.
Brendan Brisson
Thomas Bordeleau
Johnny Beecher

They had NHL talent. Plus their fair share of seniors.

- Pegullaville


Understood. They weren't the best team in the NCAA. Far from it. They weren't even the top team in their own conference. And this isn't where the ended. This was all year rankings and reflected by their barely of .500 record.

I won't be surprised if Eichel is not moved here. There are some beat reporters who say Eichel needs to play first to get full value.

Wouldn't be the first time a player with a contract who wanted to be traded had to report and I would expect Eichel will show up.

- gcomella34

I’ll do this slowly

- People are looking at Power’s point totals as a reason he’s not a top offensive player

- Power play points dictate a players point totals

- Power wasn’t their top PP guy this year, they went with an older York.

- York is now in the AHL, and Power will be the #1 guy, and will see his points skyrocket

Hope this helps

If Eichel dresses for the Sabres this year he is on the team until next years draft

It will be very difficult for a team to take on a $10 million cap hit in the middle of the season.

Plus if he plays and is a 90 point center the price for him skyrockets

GM Hard boiled egg-head and Donny Meatballs will turn this franchise around today and alter Eichels attitude to reflect Buffalo Proud.


Just need to sit here quietly and hope, like Terry an co desire.

All of which is fine with me.

Trade him at the Draft 2022

Or he falls in love with Donnie Meatballs
