That's higher then my number, which is my point.

None of what they do matters until they finally get management in that knows their ass from a hole in the ground.

Love to get a little bidding war going with the Ducks and Kings
- Buff36

You trust the current Sabres management to get a giant return or even a top quality return for Eichel? I sure as hell don't.

Who do you like on the ducks roster?

So trade him, crater the team yet again, and hope the magic lottery wheel of fortune favors them in a year where the top pick is a Mackinnon level player and not a player like in this year's draft? Sounds promising.

I just have below zero faith in the leadership of the team making the right decision with a move as massive as trading Eichel.
- kingcong39

At that point what is the difference?

I don’t want to trade him.

I think they end up doing it though

Don't want to trade him, just thinking about when he's had enough of this sh!t show.

That would be nice, they seem to be in love with Drysdale.

Give them Reinhart as well

There will certainly be at least one team (and probably more than one) with either a GM or owner like Vincent Molina ("People pay to get wet"), with an ego so huge that they'll pay through the nose just to get a Jack Eichel for their fans.

The Hawks

I remember when i was a teenager and worked a summer job at the city in public works. Was told to stop working so hard, you get paid regardless of your effort. Working too hard may get ya hurt. And kid, don't make the old guys look bad. Show up, put in a little effort, collect your paycheque. I wonder if this is the culture in Sabreland.

This is unions-Unions are socialist by nature/at heart.

Give them Reinhart as well

That's fine, would want more than Terry though.

They have a package that would be worth it?

- sbroads24

There is no difference and none of it matters as they're a rudderless ship lost amid a sea of suck.

Don't know

Not that Jack would be going, but this would be a opertune time to rekindle talks with Arizona. They are a mess financially and could be under investigation here again very soon.

Agreed.

Would you do it then? Seriously.

I’d like to see what this team looks like with dependable goaltending before we go trading our franchise player
I’d even move Ralph into management & give a new coach a try first as well

I understand everyone’s frustrations
But i don’t think we’re at the “blow it up” stage yet

Don't know
- SABRES 89

Of course they do. Every team does.

A lot of floors are already gutted. He’s had heavy equipment in the basement clearing it out for a while. The guy gets poop done. He’ll have people moving in there before you know it.

Nice to hear
I live in the city, and think it’s great that these old buildings are being put to use

if we were losing games 5-4 instead of 3-1 or 2-0 I would agree

Better goaltending is definitely one thing.

They didn’t get a shot on goal for over 23 mins straight two days ago (while down 2-0)
They got shut out yesterday.

It’s more than goaltending. They’re still terrible. It just sucks really.

Yes, for 2 seasons under Botterill while Pegulaville told us that salvation was a Mittlestadt, Dahlin or Cozens away.

We wandered the wilderness for 10 years from 2006-2015 looking for a 1C, and now all of you are so ready to jump back into it. There is recent historical precedence on THIS team to demonstrate that this logic is faulty.

You trade him and you spend the next ten years searching for him

You’re making good points
