Jean Sebastian Dea just went on a radio show in Montreal and said this about Eichel

"I haven't had the chance to chat with him a lot. I don't think he's a bad person when you get to know him. But all I can tell you is, he's not a Sidney Crosby. You see the difference in leaders when you walk into a room with Sidney Crosby. No matter who you are, your name, your pick rank, he'll take care of you. He will talk to you as if he were talking to a partisan, a young person he meets in the street.

He's not a bad person, but there might also be reasons why Buffalo was in such a situation.

I have worked with leaders during my career and you often see the difference. You see the way he behaves off the ice. He's an excellent hockey player, but at the leadership level ... I'm sure that with maturity and age he'll get better, but it's still pressure to be a captain and perform at that age. But I don't think he's the leader you can find in the Penguins.

I heard.

The Sabres had every chance to lock Reinhart up long term.

They created this mess an ultimately it lead to an underwhelming return for a very good player.

It’s incredible the amount of bootlicking going on in here for a GM and team who’s starting goalie is Craig Anderson, who’s #1 center is Casey Mittelstadt, and who’s top forward prospect is Jack Quinn.

What a job they did on Linus Ullmark too. Thank god we didn’t get an asset for him at the deadline

Definitely trust this organization on how they evaluate goalies

Imagine what you could have gotten for Sam at 30% retained at the deadline.

If he gets hurt, nothing. Can't take that chance.

Smokey and the Bandit. You can always watch Days of Thunder later, it's the same move, just with race cars instead of fighter jets

I think keeping Ullmark in hopes of signing him was a fair gamble. He was hurt at the deadline anyway.

Sure, but the difference is nobody will be asking him to be captain. This meshes with what 89 has been saying for a while but it doesn't hurt his trade value at all.

Been known for awhile, and it does in certain ways cause it can screw up a locker room

He gets moved to a team that has an established Captain and it doesn’t make a difference.

Friedman says a few weeks ago he heard the #Sabres made a strong first offer to Dahlin:

“It was very legit, it was in the ballpark.”

Believes it is a long term offer.
