Leader or not. If you have an opportunity to not die as the titanic goes down you do it.

That’s not how captains think. You are confusing them with politicians

I just can’t see Eichel moving on under any circumstance. If he’s a true captain he will be with them till he retires.

I’ve been a captain multiple times and am currently a regional manager of my company. If I felt like Or feel like my company or team isn’t doing what we all need to exceed I am going to voice my opinion and give them time to listen. If they don’t I am going to go somewhere that people in charge value my opinion and listen. And he has voiced his opinion already.

I'm getting nervous. Eichel isnt married to Buffalo.
Boston guy, super competitive.
He owed the Sabres 5 years to get our poop together. Next year is year 6.

Huge eichel fan and huge Sabres fan. Not sure if he's a true captain really? A stick it out guy?

I'm zero % concerned about josh Allen extending .
I get the married to buffalo feel ......

It's easy to be married to Buffalo if your Allen when the team has been consistently winning, even when you didn't play well.

That's the complete reverse of what Eichel has experienced.

Impressive resilience from Finland to overcome what they have to take the lead.

Getting that goal called back for offside to tie the game could have broke them.

They were the best team from the 2nd period on and definitely deserved the win

Solid points

Off ice/ field personality has something to do with it as well. They both help out with kids charitable activities.

Stands out a bit with Josh and the incredible million $ that people have donated towards the children's hospital

2 points for Cozens already tonight. He’s been everywhere.

Could have 5 points already.

Harrington seems to think Cozens sticks and is in the lineup immediately

File under "great to see": Aaron Huglen scores a goal in his first game since April 2019. Fargo leads Sioux Falls 2-1.

First game in 18 months and pulls off the Datsyuk.

Give him a few years and maybe we have something there

Ryan Johnson has looked great too

Cozens
Johnson
Peterka
Quinn
UPL

Man if Mittelstadt can become a complimentary middle 6 player we got some juice coming in the next few years

Once they figure out Mittelstadt is a winger and not a Center that will help.

Still don’t know if Quinn was the right pick this year but it is what it is

I’ll just say this ranking is interesting but I don’t know how much stock I’d put into it.

But it has Allen as the #4 QB for wins above replacement this year

The really low ranking of guys like Watson has me skeptical though

I will root for Quinn to be excellent but he was never the right pick if they claim they were taking a numbers and analytical based approach

I think they took him based on intangibles and need

Quinn’s looked fine but they may regret not taking Lundell, who is outstanding and has a man’s body. I think they really wanted Sanderson, but he was picked before them. They were right - he’s outstanding

Yeah, possibly. I think Lundell/Rossi were better picks and probably Perfetti but whatever

I hope Quinn is great
