Eichel became the Alpha Male in that organization the minute Murray had to apologize for being so pissed that they didn't get the 1st pick for McDavid.

even though jack is an alpha male to begin with, yes, that seemed to be part of the problem

how long does a turd need to sit in the toilet before the Sabres do something about it.
- TheSabresTaco


You're gonna complain about the eichel return as well.

Ask yourself, do you want another "bag of burglands"?

Why do you want the return NOW, when we are trying to lose?

Alpha male = the minute the lottery balls dropped and we had eichel.

We lost on purpose, starting in 2014

The apology was an afterthought.

You derived a whole lot of opinion about my potential thoughts based on an extremely generalized and widely agreed upon opinion.

And for that, I present to you today's Beady Award

I was going to spend a few days crying about him not having a deal done yet.
I have dry eyes now.

Agreed. I'm certain someone will female dog about it, but it gives you a chance to not overpay him but to also provide a long term contract into his 30's. If he continues to progress in his overall game, his next contract needs to be max term, no questions asked.

1. Yes
2. The 'win' will (needs to) come in the form of the sum greater than the parts.

Dahlin’s next contract is going to double what he’s making now.

right now we can still have Dahlin for 11 years

Sorry. Updating a previous post, EH had him at 7% chance, 3 years 4.3M and 35% 6x6. This hints at the idea that Dahlin didn't want a short term and the Sabres had to make it worth his while so that they have another opportunity while in his RFA years to extend him.

If he's worth 12M in three years, then I'm glad he's here.
