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.

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

Mindhunter is a great autobiography about the birth of modern criminal profiling. The show is pretty garbage though. Idk why they made the main character a weird, aloof alien

You can start by not allowing teams access to medical records.

placing 100% of the blame on Jack Eichel in a press conference.

Eichel is going out and paying for his own MRIs so his camp can share that information.

We can start there.

Can you continue from there?

This is unprecedented. A couple of you guys on here act like there's some sort of "trade your captain while he's hurt" playbook out there 😂

If it's unprecedented then how do you know it's being botched?

With Stephon Gilmore traded to the Panthers for a 6th, it's only a matter of time that he's somehow flipped to Buffalo.

Dell is a loser and a great goalie if you are going to tank. Dell and Luukonen would be a great combo to get another good draft pick.

I want to hear why the agent is able to show the MRI's but the Sabres couldn't/didn't. That is what appears to be facilitating the deal. Otherwise, the injury wasn't a botch, holding out for what they want isn't a botch. I will hold out and listen after the trade to the two surgeries and most team's stands and the Sabres stand.

And? The other side - Eichel - and the 31 other teams in the NHL had nothing to do with things getting or not getting done? Just Sega 94 the guy for Saga 94 Jeremy Roenick and be done with it. You are right, it IS THAT EASY!

I just don’t see us getting any of Eklund/Krebs etc

If it’s San Jose take back Hertl, flip him for a 1 at the deadline, get the Sharks unprotected first and another couple B prospects and call it a day.

Two firsts and two mid range prospects is about what I expect

What if we took back Kane. Hypothetical.

I know the guy is radioactive, but what do the Sharks pay to get rid of him?

I doubt it would happen.

Eklund is going to make the Sharks out of camp by the looks of it.

Steal of the draft, should have been a Sabre đŸ„ș

Looking at that crap defense he should have been the first overall pick? The Sabres only had one.

Do you settle on 50 cents on the dollar for a top 10 2021 pick in an Eichel trade? Or do you try to get a 90% return and a pick in 2022?

90 all the way and '2022 is a strong draft. Not to mention I'll wait and see if Rosen is a poor man's version of Eklund.
