I agree. Wouldn’t you think though that if this group stays in it to the 30 game mark or so his thinking will change.

Eichel is gonna need some sort of surgery
He might not even be ready to play this year
And if he is, it won’t be till later in the season

No, they are going to get what they want for Eichel and they should, they have time.

I’d imagine jacks agent is keeping his name in the headlines but the status seems to be the same.

Adams is under no pressure what so ever to make a bad deal or a fast move, and it's not my take, it's what I was told.

Pegulas have to be impressed with the risto and sam trades. Especially risto.

Good trades inspire patience and trust in their hand groomed gm.

Love the organizational stance in regards to eichel.
They have given him the keys to the franchise.
Trade for his friends, fire mean coaches...

Make a great trade... dont settle

He's held strong this long, and the team is playing decent hockey right know, as long as they stay competitive I think his hand gets stronger because he doesn't have to rush to move him.
- Buff36


Even if they were losing this is the play. They have zero expectations for this year. I have said it before...the Sabres are uniquely positioned to wait this out. I don't think i've ever seen any comparable situation in pro sports.

The Sam trade was for less then most thought we’d get
But we got MUCH more for Risto than anyone thought

I don’t need to be “wowed” by the return we get for Eichel,
but we at least need a few high end pieces

It’s great how we are currently playing,
but this team still needs to add much more talent to it
Go Sabres!

True, but I think you would here a little more from fans and frustration if they were losing

McNabb has had himself a nice little career

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I shamefully picked my son’s name because of Mcnabb. Always liked his d play.

After all the poop we have been through are the fans really female doging when they see progress?

Yup and that is why I don’t care about what nhl media members are saying. It’s just garbage fluff.

Yeah I think so too but it is a good tactic. Helps get clicks and keeps eichel fresh in everyones head.

At what point do trade offers increase for Eichel, if Eichel does not have surgery, and he continues to be in the same condition he is now?

At what point do the hypothetical trade offers increase, if he hypothetically doesn't have surgery, and the situation remains hypothetically static? Is that what you're asking me? lol

The Sabres can wait forever for a top return, but how is that happening if surgery does not take place?
