Decent read

I couldn't help but hear this guy's voice when reading this opener to Dom's article:



"Rock bottom is not a place, it’s a feeling. It’s a state of mind that things cannot possibly get any worse because this has to be as bad as it gets.

There’s a certain optimism attached to rock bottom, the knowledge that this is as low as you’ll go and the only way forward is upward. It gets better, right? But life doesn’t always work out that way – it can always get worse.

There’s a level below rock bottom, a place of familiarity where the lowest of lows is nothing new and brand new lows are met with numb resignation. Rock bottom has optimism. This place does not, it’s a dark abyss and it’s where the Buffalo Sabres have spent the last decade."

I want him to say something that forces Jack Eichel to fire back and then realize he continues to tank his own value.

so we still want Jack to have fusion, Jack still wants replacement. So here we remain. FFS just let him have the Replacement surgery, trade his ass and move on.

Cant call him captain Jack anymore.

Now really, just let him have his surgery and trade him.

This is way too far gone...

Let move on.

Harrington is such a tool.

The Sabres handling of the Eichel situation is a complete disaster.

how?

So Jack Failed his physical, you stripped him of the captaincy. Jack will never put a Sabres Jersey on again, but yet the Sabres are picking the Hill of fusion surgery to die on?

I am so confused, who cares, let Jack have his surgery and then trade him for whatever you can get. I really don't care anymore. You will NEVER, EVER get equal trade value after this whole shat show.

I wouldn't say the handling is a disaster so much as the situation itself.

Is it possible the Sabres get more for Risto then they will from Jack? 😬

You need one team with a quality offer to accept that surgery. That clearly hasn't happened yet. Imagine the implosion here if we trade him for scraps. (frank)ing think about it for like, one second.

That's the worst way to look at it. He isn't captain anymore and he won't be around. Whether he is traded now or in February is irrelevant. Stay the course, do the right thing.

Ding ding ding ……. Jack went out west to an interested teams doctors this summer and I’m assuming the same result happened

“We want 4 premium assets for Eichel”

“We also are stripping the “C” from Jack, making petty comments about him, and he may never play for us again”

We are gonna be getting next to nothing for Jack.

The Sabres are in many ways the architect of their own demise.

you are right, I think they are doing way more damage to their "Image" then good.
