risto
mccabe
girgens

the sabres needed to get eichel his conterpart and failed. malkin/crosby, stamkos/kucherov, bergeron/krecji. eichel doesnt have that, they tried with jeff skinner and it failed and now its a big mess.

I do not blame the disgrace of this franchise over the last 5 or 6 years on kids on entry level contracts
- homiedclown


So instead you choose to blame a 24 year who's exceeded or almost exceeded a point per game for 4 seasons now. Neat.

It was working with Skinner, then the coach had a problem with him and inexplicably demoted him to the 4th line for some reason. Everyone in Buffalo knows that was a mistake. The coach can't see it or is too stubborn.

Skinner with Eichel works. When Ralph is gone, the next coach will team them up again, and boom, instant success.

For YEARS, at least 2 lines on this team have been analytically inept. Sometimes 3 lines.

And we're here saying the one constantly effective line, so coincidentally having Jack Eichel on it, is the reason we suck.

I blame them all


I said before Jack stepped his game up last season and played 2 way hockey


where was that this season



that is all based on effort, either you give it or you don't


I don't give a damn if he is hurt, that is zero excuse for lack of effort if you are a centerpiece of the team



let alone the captain

He hasn't looked right, you're correct. If he's been hurt, that's fine.

What I cannot stand, however, is the body language. He needs to grow TF up and start acting like a captain. Stop w the Joe Ferguson hang your head and sulk crap.

- Powerslave

Don't want Eichel traded, but what you said above is very true, it sucks to lose all the time but when they zoom to the bench I never see him talking with anyone. Maybe if he didn't look so out of it when things are starting to go bad the team wouldn't crumble so easily.

The problem with trading Eichel is that .... we will still need a 1C once we dump him. So creating a problem that you know anyone we trade for won’t replace.

The nhl drafts this year and next are going to be total and complete crap shoots due to kids not playing.

Tanking for the first overall pick won’t help us at all

No doubt the tank is on now. Time for Kev to work the dumps and gather as many picks or futures. Time for Ralph to keep playing Jonas and Kyle and Eakin and Miller. Time for STH to not cave and go watch. By end of season, Jack will be healed, then fire Ralph and build right. Who am I kidding.....

and the problem is


once you put the C on the jersey, it's rare you remove the C and keep the player

trade reinhart as well


they are all losers with a losing record


start over with cozens and dahlin

Time to put the tire fire out.

A couple more might be salvageable but the core we’ve relied on has let us
Down. Reinharts success each year is similar to Berglunds success in STL. Manages to put up moderate numbers to paint the illusion of success but is not a good player. Soft and supple

Like I said don't want him traded, but can't say that either, depends on what and who comes back in any trade.

Or who knows? They get the right mix of players back, and it's a Colorado type rebound.

(not that I have any faith in them to do the right thing 😂)
