If, under some crazy circumstances Eichel retracts his trade request (won’t happen) and wants to play when he’s healthy for the Sabres if you are Adams, do you bring him back or still trade him?

In this hypothetical, Jack has a lot of ground to make up to prove his desire to remain. Hypothetically speaking.

I wonder if Samson will blatantly ignore your autograph request again like he did last time...? 🤔🤔🤔
- kingcong39


Good one....

You take extra pride in Samson being an a$$hole.

Hope he can hear me yelling with his entire body in your throat?

Good times 39, stick to the basics around here...

Keep in mind that if this drags to the off season and he doesn't play until October 2022, he will have played only 20 games in two and a half years

At that point I think he'll play anywhere just to play

- Hank Balling


Let’s face it. If this thing keeps dragging on and the young team keeps playing well the pressure to trade Jack will intensify. This idea that KA can wait as long as he wants to get his asking price is simply a pipe dream. Jack’s value is already down and Adams knows with each passing day he may have to bite the bullet and settle for much less than hoped for. I’ll give him credit for hanging in there but when this is all done he may be down the road kickn a coke can. Fun to watch this play out.
IMO of course.

He may, or he may be able to capitalize on a team like Vegas getting desperate. Time will tell

😅😅😅

It's amazing that a grown adult can be so triggered by a player turning him down for an autograph.

It was you he turned down right, not that story you had made up and were sharing for months on end?

In that Chicago investigation, do the players feel any blow back. Still some out there playing and Toews was the Captain that year.

They might feel blowback on helping the team win now. As far as punishment, how can one hold another player responsible for a management decision. The player may have shared it with his teammates, but 1) I doubt it 2) What could they have done? Management already knew, and that's about the extent of what even captain serious could have done.

I like the idea. There are some issues, though.

I grew up right over there. Would definitely be cool, wealthy people are going to get a lot richer if that ends up being the site.

To be fair its already spread.

Its the nature of things when it goes public.

I know, but until it’s completely public i don’t think I have much interest trying to figure it out.

But then again it could be worse, we could be making Paul Walker jokes
