Apparently a team of detective, military counter intelligence officers and others have found the identity of Zodiac.

The Sabres decision to go full tank rebuild again is absolutely pathetic

Dahlin and Joker should be broken up. Let's see if that happens. We're not in game 34 of the season. There's still preseason hockey to play.

Their lack of a middle 6 tweener veteran C may hurt them (a "Henrique"). But, personally, I'm not worried about Cozens. He seems to have that mental makeup you need.

There are enough guys with *enough NHL experience on this roster, and Granato has the pulse of this team.

The issue with Dahlin and Joker, is they dont have anyone of their caliber to step in.

Whos going to fill that role?

They're going to have to find out the best combos with the guys they have, I guess.

It’s never a good thing when an agent needs to get this involved in getting his client out of town

It’s additional leverage against the Sabres

It’s likely we have the NHL/NHLPA/Brisson-Eichel’s camp all pushing the Sabres to get this done now.

We’re going to be massively disappointed I fear

- sbroads24


I don't think it's any secret the Sabres are trying to trade Jack Eichel, so his agent trying to work the phones doesn't really give anyone leverage to me. And none of those entities have any power here, it's becoming more evident Adams would rather let Eichel waste away than take a dime on a dollar return, he's been offered that for months.

Jack wanted gone, Sam wasn't going to re-sign and that isn't enough anyway. Their goalie left and in preseason maybe it's good that they didn't pay him what he wanted for the term. Not sure what team wouldn't have been a rebuild.

Rebuild didn't work the first time so why try again? I'll take a team trying to win every day of the week. Reinhart should be our captain right now.

I think it's a really bad look. And I think as someone else pointed out, Brisson is acting in the best interest of his client, which is Eichel, who will be going to the team he's negotiating with

He isn't acting in the best interest of the Sabres.

My wife went to college for criminal justice and studied criminology and serial killers, even all these years later it's her favorite topic to read/watch.

She is working right now and I just told her, she cannot wait to see all the evidence. Looks like I have months of serial killer documentaries I will have to sit through...and then there's the Sabres that make me want to kill myself...thankfully we have the Bills

"No one will go on record, but there is a growing belief there are teams willing to accept Eichel’s preferred disc replacement."

- TheSabresTaco

therefore they should accept the consequences of anything going wrong...right?

If the Sabres lose every game this season like last night's loss, then I'm a happy fan.

I Can't watch this season regardless; I moved to 2nd shift this past week. So I can watch weekends games and that's about it.

What’s your definition of common?

The Sabres have made 20 trades over the last 5 years or so with quite a few bigger name players

What’s the last one where we even heard of an agent involved

- sbroads24


Max Domi
Jack Eichel
Nate Schmidt
Seth Jones
Ian Cole
Jonathan Drouin
Jacob Trouba

Eichel is easily the most complicated, by far.

How many times do 2 or 3 of us come in here and say something the SAbres have done is embarassing.

Yet so many on here are quick to jump down our throats and ask what did you want them to do? The Sabres are doing this right.

it happens every. damn. time.


The Sabres completely botched this Eichel situation and its clear as day now.
