If they trade Eichel without changing ownership, I am 100% out on the franchise. The Pegulas will butcher any rebuild.

If you want to sell me on a rebuild, change ownership and nuke management from orbit.

Otherwise it's all pointless. We'll be back here in 5 years
- jcragcrumple

What if they hire the best president available?

Build a management structure like the pens just added?
Hire nhl qualified candidates to run the show?

I'm a pegula defender, I think the Bill's proved they can hire the right people.

This eichel decision could be a welcoming opening for some good people, who want to put a stamp on an organization .

Almost expansion like? Circa 2015.
3 first rounders total and hopefully #1 overall

only two posters here today have brought up trump. you and boss.

trump lost, get over it.
- TheHank

Not true

Do you want Ralph in charge of trading Eichel? I just want people to understand what they're saying when they say they're ready to trade Eichel
- jcragcrumple

I don't want Ralph in charge of anything!

I want the Sabres to make smart decisions. The Pegulas in charge of trading Eichel is not that.

What you're advocating for is a very, very dumb idea considering who you are entrusting to make these decisions.

The best -best- case scenario is that the Sabres keep Eichel, because in no way do I trust Sabres management to get even approximate value back in a trade
- jcragcrumple

I don’t want Eichel traded
I’ve said that a hundred times
BUT
IF it’s inevitable....
then I’ll be hopeful we can get a great return

I’m not telling you to feel like i do
Do what u want
And I’ll do what i want

What is Q? I don’t know one person in real like who even knows what that is. Seems like something liberals love to echo chamber though.

Again. You were fooled by CNN. The story you speak about was fake. Cop died of a medical issue.

There was someone who threw a fire extinguisher at a crowd of cops at one point, causing a minor injury. Was not Ofc. Sicknick. That guy is a thug and deserved to be arrested and charged with assault
- Fattony1187

If there's no Trump-infused riot, then the officer doesn't get injured and die. They say they have a suspect in Officer Sicknick's death...someone sprayed him with ... something ? (chemicals ?), which they're trying to figure out. So he wasn't beaten by a fire extinguisher, but someone allegedly sprayed him with chemicals. If proven true, it's still horrible and it's still murder.

Like I said, we'll see how this goes.

Like I said, beer league, sure, that mentality fits
NHL players collecting $M's ... it's fvcking bullpoop loser mentality
No excuses, they didn't score, not once.
Don't make two 0-3 losses about the goalies who stopped .923 and .924.
...it's friggin absurd.
- IonSabres

Hutton played fine, based on watching the game and the #'s posted.

My point: we as fan's have very little faith in hutton.
Can't imagine eichel and the rest of the guys go into the game confident that he's gonna play good.

You like hutton 🙄
I'd say your in the minority

Does any of that seem remotely likely? I dont think so. You're going to have a 4-headed monster of Ralph, Kevyn, Kim and Terry trading the best Sabres player in a generation. I highly doubt their ability to do anything beneficial for the Sabres in a trade. I think 10 years of data backs me up

I responded to you, when you said the "terrorists " won in November .

Considering your support of the insurrection leader, seemed like a time to speak up.
- Boss34

people overrun and burn a police precinct, post office and dozens of businesses in Minneapolis and they're "peaceful protesters with some fires."
people overrun the Capitol building and it's an "insurrection."
the right condemns all involved immediately.
the left doubles down supporting one side through policy and rhetoric.
I see a difference.

It was obviously not an insurrection. It was a rag-tag mob of shirtless morons wearing viking helmets. The word "insurrection" was intentionally introduced to emotionally manipulate tractable morons into supporting statist power-grabs. This does not mean you cannot condemn the rioters and demand they are held to account of course.

Damn it. So he is president AND coach without the president title which means no new coach and we are franked.
- Gr8daygo

So does Adams have a progress meeting with the coach and then go report on the state of things to the president?

everyone knows how you feel about it.
- TheHank

Yep

Complaining about politics = bad
Complaining about Sabres = good

Let's stay on task ladies and gents.

No. It's pretty true actually. The rioters were met with almost universal condemnation.

Neither of those will happen either
- Fattony1187

Well that’s what a team has to pay to get Eichel. If they don’t. We keep him

- jcragcrumple

I see why you would be completely discouraged , 10 years of terrible hockey.

The Bill's though, hired rex and kept whaley.
But, bounced back with mcbeane.

Just got lucky? Maybe they have been unlucky with the Sabres. The hired family and friends, because employees were taking advantage of them.

They hired people that were trustworthy.
Bad hockey people but, good humans

Remember when the President almost got the VP killed and refused to do anything about it?
