Buffalo GM Kevyn Adams raised eyebrows Saturday night when he said he ā€œwould have no problem at all ifĀ Jack EichelĀ is on our team when we start training camp.ā€

Out of curiosity, I reached out to Jack Eichelā€™s reps about that possibility.

ā€œOur expectation is that Jack is going to be traded in the near future, and all of our discussions have been centred around that issue,ā€ came a dual response from Peter Fish and Peter Donatelli.

My guesses right now are some combination of Anaheim, Calgary, Minnesota and others Iā€™m probably missing. Teammate Eric Engels reported Sunday he doesnā€™t think it will be Montreal. From what Iā€™ve heard, the Canadiens have engaged, but not anywhere near a point Buffalo would say yes. The Rangers and Sabres have not been close in their conversations.

Make that 4 goals for Aatu Raty hours after the #Isles drafted him in the second round.

Incredible.

I appreciate this post.

Good comparison

Something about jasper catches my eye.

Unless we land a byfield, we're gonna have a couple 2/3 centers making up eichels ice time.

Definitely seemed like Brady t was a better prospect. Especially with him and mitts together in buffalo for the juniors.

What does?

Kotkaniemi was big reach at 3, and I am not sure you could find a hab fan that wouldnt prefer holding onto suzuki over Kotkaniemi.

Read my earlier comments, but how he was handled is what I have a problem with.

I don't care that he's gone. It's the why that bothers me.

- TheSabresTaco


I hear ya, but thatā€™s way past gone

If what youā€™re trying to say is u donā€™t want it to happen againā€¦ Iā€™m pretty sure we all agree

But againā€¦.. we canā€™t do anything about that now
So i donā€™t think itā€™s worth dwelling on
If you do, thatā€™s fine
What Iā€™m saying is that i disagree

Damn I wanted Raty, he lit it up yesterday for 4 goals.

Can't believe he fell to 52.

Chicago could be a surprise team to go after Eichel. Aging core and just signed Jones.

Buffalo would have to take back salary but something around Dach would work.(They drafted the brother so probably not going to trade Dach but it works)

See below. It would mean the Sabres could in theory win the draft lottery 3 years in a row (21, 22, 23).

Two more rule changes that will be in place for the 2022 draft lottery are: 1) A team cannot jump more than 10 spots in the lottery. So the top bottom 11 teams have a shot at first and the bottom 12 have shot at second. 2) Teams cannot win the lottery more than twice in a 5 year span.

- kingcong39


Yep thatā€™s it. It just didnā€™t sound right that you could only win it once in five years.

Going into 2015, before we got eichel, people were saying the same thing with a different list of prospects, and adding mcdavid/eichel.

This team needs to stop trying to lose. It kills the players in the system.

GREAT POST.... exactly what I say... The Sabres motto is... Draft superstar players, piss them off then trade them for a bag of pucks and some useless unproven prospect with "potential"... POTENTIAL DON'T WIN GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, this times its different, or so ive been told.

These prospects are franchise players, not like the franchise players the last time, different franchise players.

The point was not draft picks... It is the Sabres desire to self destruct every time they get a player who is half way decent on this team... They simply just throw them to the trash

He fell because he struggles playing against men. Raty looks great when he's got a lot of space playing against other juniors. But his game completely changes when other players get physical with him. Just floats around the perimeter and is scared to go into high danger areas.
