The cap hit is fine for a player of his talent. That’s the going rate for a top tier centre. Who knows what they are expecting in return tho.

a lot. otherwise he would have been traded by now.

I hope they don't ruin Caulfield's confidence completely.
Send the kid down to the AHL for a few games to get the feeing of being a goal scorer again.
He looks lost right now.

only so much they can do for (frank)ed up discs, pat. replacement is fairly new but untested on hockey players.

and apparently one of the main leading specialists for a replacement procedure has advised Eichel it wouldn't be a good idea to go through it... at this rate in 5 years from now he'll still be stuck in limbo in Buffalo

I’m sure they are waiting for his injury situation to be more clear. You’re not gonna sell the farm for this year if he’s going to be out till next season

...?

Had to do a 2nd take when i read that.


Obviously joking

Yup. And it looks at times like TB doesn't want to be part of that 3

they'll be there. easily. not unusual for Cup champs to start slow.

that's what could bring the price down, I don't give a poop if he doesn't play this year.

the habs didn't win, but they did get to the finals and had a very short summer, so it's only a matter of time before they find their winning ways again.

That Hagel fella, did I ever tell you I used to bang his aunt in high school?

Almost took his mom for a ride but she stopped me short, just let me play with her cans.

And she had some nice cans..

I think people are underestimating the impact Phil danault had in the playoff run last year. He’s gone and didn’t really get replaced.

sabres are holding firm to what they think eichel is worth. smart teams aren't going to pay close to that unless he proves he is healthy.

I agree he did play a very important role on the team, however I don't think his departure necessarily explains why they've become such a fragile team that barely has any cohesion. I guess if you add to that Weber and Price not being in the lineup it starts to make sense, but still, the way they're struggling is baffling to me.

As a sabres fan, there is no way I’m trading away eichel without getting a young centre in return. Aka nick Suzuki
