I've been meaning to add a note to a blog about Gus and the Olympics for a couple weeks now but it keeps slipping through the cracks.

I'm happy for Gus that he gets to represent his country - unfortunately for him, Latvia figures to be the Sabres of the Olympics

- Hank Balling


What Gus made the Olympics again? šŸ™‰

Also, could you cross reference an all star player, Olympics and Olympic captains please.

See if you come up with anyone.
Jack comes to mind,
Minus the Olympics and captain part.

This confuses me.

Why trade jack for less now? While his medical condition isnt certain?

I've been saying it all along, why acquire jack's assets now, during tank4? Just wait.

Doesnt make sense, he's not with the team and it's a great distraction from the Sabres losing. Perfect excuse as well..

Your being impatient ā˜ļø

If you aren't going to let him have surgery, how does waiting make things better?

Not sure why your going after me, I find it hard to respect a guy named tight pants and 69. Classy.... and an alt. Account.

Bringing anything to the blog?

31 teams are interested in Jack. What he costs is a different conversation.
- TheSabresTaco

I get what you mean but this is just false.

Thereā€™s maybe 7-8 actually interested

How does it really make it any worse?

Sure, the july contract clause is lingering, but there's still plenty of time.

Are you really just gonna settle for pennies on the dollar?

If there was a suitable deal, the Sabres would have accepted it?

Trading broken jack now:
Less assets than healthy jack
Assets that help win, when we're not trying to win.
The distraction helps deflect the inevitable losing...

Why aim for 28th place with Jack's return?
You've seen this before #tank4


Any chance jack passes another team's physical and plays this season? Or is he surgery only?

Bet the Sabres claim Dennis Gilbert off waivers.

St. Joe's product, local guy who probably likes buffalo, good age to fit the team, probably familiar with Rochester as well.

Also , didnt the Sabres have his name plate ready with the 1st pick in the 3rd round? Chicago grabbed him with the last pick in the 2nd round.

Now that we're hearing other teams are fine with Jack's surgery, is there really any chance they go scorched earth and force him to have fusion and play for the team again?

No, I think it's a bad look to force surgery choice on a human being, regardless of the cba agreement.

Whole new level of Sabres hate around the league.

Only chance eichel returns:

Sabres have a pretty good season going and he can come back for the playoffs. Kutcherov style šŸ—£


You didnt answer the thought on why it's so important to move jack now?

The package isnt there, similiar to guys that wear tightpants....

Scorched earth is suspending him and trying to toll the contract. Obviously, I don't think they are going that route.

It suprises me how fans turned on risto.

During the worst decade in hockey history, he showed up and brought it every game. Game in game out.

Not very buffalo... blue collar town.

Great28 as well. You watch 100 different veseys, beglunds , Johanssons ect role thru here, but can't respect effort guys?

Strange times, the losing has everyone hating everything

I have answered it, but you keep laying out these scenarios where he gets healthy without surgery.

Itā€™s pretty simple

Heā€™s going to have surgery once heā€™s traded.

Which is why thereā€™s negotiations going on in terms of liability and insurance.

Sabres arenā€™t letting him have the surgery without trading him and getting assets back first

Idk why people donā€™t get this

claiming guys on waivers means you're going to keep him in the NHL. He's not really an NHL player, and he's not better than any of our top 6 D.
