I want to hear a legitimate explanation from Adams why the medicals were not shared sooner. My guess is that they believed the situation was too fluid and didn't feel comfortable sharing them because details could change weekly. But that's my only defense of the action.

Lol why does he have to explain anything to the fans?

Who cares if he did or didn’t share Eichels records

If a team was serious. He would give them up.

You can’t just free wheel a players medical records out in the open. Teams like Tampa could request them just for inside info.

Sabres are over the cap floor by half a mil. Vegas is over the ceiling by 4M. Sabres getting 1 prospect for Eichel is a failure.

Sabres now have 25 players on their roster, 26 once Tuch is ready. You need more trades with this proposal.

- TheSabresTaco


sabres projected cap hit with jack is $63.9...take away his 10m and it's 53.9 add tuch (4.75 and patrick 1.2) and they're at 59.85 or roughly $400k below the floor


knights are at about $86.7m right now...take out patrick and they're at 85.5 with a cap-ceiling of 81.5...jack on ltir means they'll be able to spend up to 91.5 putting them $6m below that

Ok I did it. Buckle up.

Eakin, Peterka demoted, Ruotsalainen promoted (per CF).

BUFFALO RECEIVES:
Krebs, Røndbjerg, Elvenes, Tuch, Smith, McNabb

VEGAS RECEIVES:
Eichel, Hagg @ 50%, Thompson @ 50%, Florida's 2022 1st

The rostering, cap, uppers, lowers and reasonableness is all there. If you want to argue that they should get Samuelsson/Peterka, I'd listen.

First of all, he's (KA) partially responsible for extending this months beyond necessary. Eichel is the team's franchise player and ex captain and the fans deserve to know why his situation has dragged on forever, and the non-confidential details behind it.

Second of all, everyone cares. It matters regarding his trade value. it matters a lot. Clearly, as reported upon by several MSM insiders.

Third of all, no poop, you can't just throw medical records around. Both parties need to agree. We all know that. My question is, did both parties agree prior to last week? We don't actually know that. We don't know if the Sabres declined and Eichel was demanding for them to be released.

I don't blame the Sabres for initially saying we'll give up the records to serious suitors, and what probably happened was that teams said they wouldn't get serious without the records. So stalemates occurred.

I'd love to see the full stats once this season ends. Roberts was a pro bowler. Sad he had to get stomped on the Texans. He is with the Texans right

Think so? (frank)ing Eakin and stupid faceoffs can't take Drake's place. I won't allow it.

Least of the teams worries.

Would you buy a house without a home inspection or without title insurance ?

Adams is trying to trade Eichel like he were selling a used car.

And yet we wonder why we’re still sitting here with our peckers in our hands

they don't need to put krebs on the big club as a full year in rochester won't kill him...

as for the golden knights?...*shrugs* it's for them to figure out...

So FYI, the Sabres and other negotiating teams are working with the NHL and NHLPA on having a plan to share responsibility if the surgery goes wrong and Eichel is unable to play again.

The issue is deeper than compensation it also has to do with insurance

Take it as you will.

You can’t freely hand out his medical to anyone who asks.

I can’t imagine how mad he is behind closed doors. I bet you it’s funny.

He did this to himself and the way he’s acted.
