Good stuff. Thanks for posting all of the links that you do! Mo Seider at 2. Remember when people were shocked Detroit went off the board to draft him? Heck of a player so far.

No Problem, gotta try and talk a little hockey. Yeah he is a beast. Why I was a little pissed they took that Goalie at 41 with Warren there. Could have been are Seider.

The Sabres need to find players who want to be there before they can even talk hockey

"With that being said, I came off a major surgery after not playing for a year, and I had major spine surgery and played three months after and, so, that's pretty quick and, you know, like anybody that's had surgery or went through an injury, it takes a lot of time for you to get back to feeling like yourself."

Weak mind...wasted talent

Over/under for him with min 72 games played?

The way Cassidy publicly spoke about him, if he hits 80 points they will be happy. The players of the league will call him out as Skinner 2.0…the even more expensive version.

My guess is 22-47-69*

*Yes I edited the assist to equal 69, that’s where Eichels heads at anyway.

Equivalent to PPG.
I heard today on NHL radio, only 20 players roughly right hit 1.0 ppg per season.
Of (23x32) 754 player, being top 20 is pretty, pretty good.

With all due respect to Andy, I would have liked that for the Sabres. Comrie/Hill sounds a bit more stable

The talent is there, mind is not. He’s insecure but more importantly impatient. This causes ripples in managements plan, that either way grow into waves.

Eichel is a ($10,000,000.00) gamble athlete, his best is top 20 (ppg or more) which he has only reached twice in his 7 year career.

Who do you believe his line mates will be?

Who is Bruce Cassidy w/o Bergeron/Pasta/Marchand?

How many games will Vegas have to win 7-6?

Sabres with 11 of the 160 - not bad at all. Surprising that Levi was our lowest-rated prospect, one behind Johnson. The future is bright.

If he plays 80 games with Stone he can crack 100 points.

I'd set the O/U at 70 games, 77 points. I'm curious if there's an actual gambling line on his production

Stone coming off back surgery and missing training camp…right after Eichel…should I copy and paste Eichels words back again?


"With that being said, I came off a major surgery after not playing for a year, and I had major spine surgery and played three months after and, so, that's pretty quick and, you know, like anybody that's had surgery or went through an injury, it takes a lot of time for you to get back to feeling like yourself."

No I got the gist of it.

He's lost a bit of the ol' confidence.

I'll stick with 70gp, 30+47 as the O/U line. Are you taking the under or over?

Edit: just saw your 69-point-prediction
