I am of the mindset now, if they can't get a trade they like, wait

so what if they wait until his NMC kicks in


wait and get what you want

Everyone is worried about that NMC because of Taylor Hall....totally different situation.

Jack, here are the three teams that are offering the org the assets we think you're worth:

Do you want to play at any of those spots? Or do you want to stay a Buffalo Sabre?


Given anyone trading for him we'll be looking to compete RIGHT now, he'll cave.

reed the quote:

"our camp was initially under the impression that the Sabres specialist was in agreement with the Artificial Disc Replacement surgery"

"under the impression" makes it look like the sabres dr. lied...however one would think that an agent would know for sure one way or the other instead of speculating

- Michael Pachla


You are correct... No matter how us fans look at it;

There is simply no Trust at all between these parties. How can you move forward as a franchise once that is breached ?

Everyday going forward is going to bring more speculation and questions for KA and the team... and when the kids start getting the questions ... and you know damn well they will .. what then..It's a sheetshow and the sooner he's out of there the better..

At this point it's Cancerous.

That’s wishful thinking bro.

The team may have more success because we finally build a competent roster but aside from Wright, I don’t think anybody will come close to performing better than Eichel individually speaking.

I'm with you there. But I think making one comment saying you request a trade is fine and can get your point across very well.

What Jack is doing now, as you can see from posters here from other teams, is lowering his value even further. This is feeding into the situation negatively because the Sabres can't get raked over the coals....again. At this point, for his benefit Jack should SHUT UP as his actions are directly prohibiting him from getting what he wants.

That is just as unattractive to FA's as keeping him because you look incompetent.

I would almost like to see the org take the Philly approach to TO if it merits it. They rode out that storm but didn't deal with prominent players acting up for over a decade after it provided they didn't go too far.

Make him wait

Trade him on June 30th 2022 @ 11:59pm to Arizona(not like they’re gonna make the playoffs anytime soon)

Jack spends his entire career not playing in the playoffs.

There doesn't need to be any trust. Hes under contract. If they make his value less, and we don't get what we want he doesn't play hockey in the NHL for as long as 5 more years.

They have him $10M dollars a year for 8 years. The team has done its part

Friedman becoming a mouthpiece for the Eichel camp is really disappointing. He's going to get a lot of sh*t for this.

Start the season off with we will not be taking any questions about Jack Eichel for the season.

Any and all questions will be ignored as this is an in house matter.

Next question.

- dadeadhead


That will last for all of about 10 minutes if that.


It's the questions all the kids will get... do you think you'd be better on the PP if Jack was here... on the PK @ 5x5 ??? are you struggling because Jack isn't here.... so on so forth...

I’m sorry do you have a question about the game that was just played?

You have to ask Jack about Jack.

Take the BB approach.

Yeah I'm not going to comment on that, straight across the board.

Belicheck does it, so can anyone...if they have the stones to.

That sounds good in theory ... in the real world having disgruntled employees doesn't work .. esp your most talented employee .. if affects every aspect of the business. Then your other employees start to wonder what the hell is going on.

It's an interesting change considering all the insiders are usually a mouthpiece for the teams.

Nothing wrong with being tough to the media. It works both ways.

Everyone knows the rules.
