What makes you think Vilardi is going to do anything here ? If Eichel can't, he can't. You don't trade Eichel during what is going on now, you get nothing for him if you do.

If Eichel asks out, to bad, if they want to move him they will if not, he stays. Enough with these players in sports that want out because a team can't win or a coach isn't black, you signed the contract you complained about not getting, STFU and play.


That said, Pegula won't let Eichel go unless it's the absolute last resort. This season has been bad for almost every team so from what i'm hearing, teams and coaches may get a " PASS" this year.

I am not saying Vilardi I was just adding his name to what SD said, and I agree with not trading Eichel, but if it came down to it LA would be a good place to trade him.

Until we get a head coach that knows how to use Skinner, they should look to move him. Your 4th line should be 9 mill a year total if that.

4th line should be $ 5m max, IMO

Lmao difference being I never claimed Toffoli was a 60 or 70 goal
Scorer either. So that’s a terrible comparison

- sbroads24


Not a terrible comparison at all

YOU USED A SMALL SAMPLE SIZE to say “we’d have been better off signing Toffoli > Hall”

Then you give me sh!t for using the same small sample size against Kahun


Why does 1 count & not the other?
It’s just more of your cherry picking nonsense

That's even better, the way contracts are now, 8-9 is usually the 4th line.

The Bruins and the Kings are sniffing around for Eichel.
- SABRES 89


Tell them to F off! Lol
Thanks for the info sir

Don’t love what Boston could offer, but the Kings do have some young pieces they could package along with Byfield
Trading Eichel would suck though
Idk if we (Sabres fans) can take another rebuild


Also.... F tom brady! This game blows

I think we all agree here

I wonder if Skinner is even tradable right now though?
With that contract, I’d think we might have to add just to move him, and i don’t wanna do that

You’re proclaiming Kahun is a 25 point player off of 13 games

I never said Toffoli was better than Hall, nor did I say Toffoli was a 50 goal scorer based on his games this year.

Toffoli is younger and costs a lot less, and is also really good. That’s why I said it

We may have to add in order to move, it would benefit all parties. Remember, Botterill had a chance to sign Skinner for around 7- 7.5 a year and he waited and it cost him.

Déjà vu of last years SB for Pat Mahomes through 3 quarters as well.

This time the Chiefs defence isn’t bailing him out.

Amazing how he won MVP last year.

Oh please

Kahun is on a 25point pace over 82games
He’s is a decent 3rd liner
My point was ALWAYS that the crybaby bs over losing him was unnecessary
Him not producing in the EDM top6 is just a bit of evidence that you didn’t need to lose your sh!t over us not bringing him back

And yes, it was me who brought up Kahun
I did it bc you were using a small sample size to say Toffoli > Hall signing
Don’t act like their production didn’t have anything to do with your post
If that was true, you’d have mentioned it before now. You’d have mentioned it 100xs

Any word what the issue the soccer coach has with Skinner? I can’t believe Pegulla will allow his money to be wasted like this.

No I don't know what what his problem is with Skinner, Skinner was his 2nd phone call when he became coach, first Eichel and then Skinner. Guess Skinner wasn't as important as he made him feel. Your top players belong in your top 6 and Skinner is that.

At this rate I hope they can move Skinner

He isn’t getting younger and the first 3-4 years of his deal should’ve been the tolerable ones

Only people in Brady's league are Babe Ruth and Ali, and he's better than both.
