Speaking of Pegullaville, I think you guys pissed him off such that he took a self-imposed leave to simmer down before going postal

Eichel could be traded even if he has surgery right? What's the point in not just letting him get it now? Only ones who will trade for him are the ones who will let him have it.

The risk I guess is it just ends his career?

Should we all proclaim him as the absolute best player in the league now after every point he puts up, lol. Proving that he was the real line driver and actually carried Jack!
Seems like the way to go.

Lundell pacing very nicely as well.

The docs the Sabres trust are telling them it’s the wrong move

Ya, been discussed quite a bit on here.

If Jack gets his own surgery against Sabres team doctors required surgery and it fails leaving him permanently impaired;
- Jack loses his career
- Sabres lose a trade asset
- Insurance company may, or very likely will not cover his contract value...so Jack loses $50m

Edit:
Also, if the Sabres grant him his preferred surgery without some sort if legally binding Release Document in-place, and the Insurance company is not on board (very likely and is a separate medical determination from Sabres Medical Team) and if fails, then add in:
- Jack then sues the Sabres for his $50m

It's very complicated and a fair amount of unknowns that would need to be hammered out.

disgusting performance by that D. I would never be a fan of a team with a D like that. I like my D strong and hearty.

Yeah, I was shocked when he was there at twelve.
He’s been making something happen every time he’s out there. Looks like he’s just always in the right place, & He’s killing penalties like a trusted veteran.

Pegula would rather wipe his diarrhea with 80 million than let Eichel succeed….billionaire tactics 101

Anyone else make Pegula money yesterday with $DWAC?
