  1. Dominik Hasek demanded to be traded and wanted to orchestrate the trade to the team he wanted and wanted to ensure the Sabres did NOT get a big return to ensure that the team that Dom was going to was going to be a Cup contender. Eichel wanted to have surgery that has never been performed on a NHL player EVER to ultimately HELP the team he still wanted to leave, to get Buffalo a better return so he can still help he team he wanted to leave. Just marinate on this for a bit.
  2. Dahlin's rookie year the forward crop was much better then now or in the previous two seasons. Are offensive defenseman like Dahlin more co-dependent on having skilled forwards then the other way around? For example if you plop Dahlin on Edmonton now, how many points does Dahlin rack up this year?
  3. If there is one point that should be taken from this trade its this in regards to today's NHL: Cap space IS King.
  4. Greg Wyshynski is and forever will be a smug Sabres hater. I knew him from a Devils board way back before he became big time and he was always salty about Hasek winning Venizas over his boy Brodeur. Always take what he says about Buffalo with a grain of salt and more saltiness from him.
  5. Vegas just makes the most sense for Eichel at this point. LTIR, they can make the playoffs without him and Vegas can 'pull a Kucherov' come playoff time with Jack. Vegas does have some assets that can be intriguing to Buffalo. I am hoping for Tuch/Krebs and a 1st in 2022 as the real prizes of the deal.
  6. 1) Leading scorers - Goals, Assists and Points: Goals: Jeff Skinner (26) Assists: Rasmus Dahlin (38) Points: Casey Mittlestadt (53) 2) Team record 23-53-8 54 points and #32 overall in the NHL 3) Team MVP Casey Mittlestadt 4) Team ROY Mattias Samuelsson 5) First Player traded Will Butcher 6) First player recalled from Rochester JJ Peterka 7) Surprising in season move (trade or acquistion) Sabres trade Olofsson 8.) Best surprise player Casey Mittlestadt 9) Biggest disappointment Dylan Cozens
  7. Jack doing neck rehab while bending his neck different ways as he was chugging beers?
  8. John Rigas might be considered a disgraced owner, but I miss his ownership over the Pegula tire fire by a country mile. RIP John.
  9. The Sabres will not receive what they want until they allow interested teams to see Eichel's medical records. But from the outside, it looks like the Sabres are closely guarding this information because there might be something in there that greatly decreases Jack's value. Nothing will change until that information is made available.
  10. "And welcome to KeyTANK Center in Buffalo, for another night of Buffalo Sabres hockey"
  11. At times I liked their show but they have to change the name of that show now.
  12. Reading your story made me angry inside, and angry against anyone that would look at you that way and also that your wife had to deal with being called a terrorist sympathizer, and the death threats, just made me so sad and angry towards these monsters that you and your family dealt with that. I pray for you and your family that those issues have subsided. Someone like myself who was born and raised in New Jersey, saw the Towers smoke with my own two eyes, and lost a close friend from our town (he was 31 and in the North Tower, Floor 92) and the pain and devastation that followed for me and to a much greater extent, his family and close friends and our town, at that time and now I could never ever dream is mistreating someone just because they 'look like one of the terrorists'. Never. In fact I in many ways ensured I treated people with more respect and care after 911, because everyone of every gender, race, religion needed that at that time, and still does. 20 years later I live in California, and I went to a 911 memorial on Saturday, and when I saw my friends picture, all those memories rush back, all the sadness, disbelief, some anger, confusion. One never gets over something like that, you just learn how to to deal with it better.
  13. Isn't Brisson's son on Vegas? That's it, Eichel is a Golden Knight 😄
  14. I agree but in some cases now the 'C' is reserved for the most talented or most productive player on the team. The 'C' aspect is what counts in the locker room, in practice, meetings etc. And in some cases that player might not ever wear the C.
  15. Wait, Jack Eichel might be traded? I forgot at this point
  16. Find me any franchise in sports where the most popular name associated with the franchise is probably not a player, but its the play-by-play man. I am glad that Rick decided this on his own and he is having a farewell tour this year. Also, the last home game on April 29th 2022 vs Chicago is probably one that I would like to attend if possible, very likely and hopefully the Sabres will give Jeanneret an amazing send off that night at the arena.
  17. Buffalo will probably take it and pay whatever it takes to keep the Bills in WNY. The part that annoys me the most is how badly Mike Florio loves this and needs this. Screw him.
  18. The key here is too, while I an see some good things coming for the likes of Cozens, Mitts, Tage and others, what will the impact be on losing Sam (forget Jack). Was Sam that integral in the late season flashes we saw for the other players?
  19. I would say this: Not sure if this specifically this will get done, but a 3 way trade for Buffalo IMO seems to be the best course of action to satisfy what KA will want in a return, even if that means giving up a 2nd rounder: Since about only 20% of 2nd round picks play even over 100 career NHL games , I would be willing to do that all day to get what the Sabres want to get.
  20. Robin who? Robin: Good for you that you are overcoming your demons and I wish you the best going forward: You are bringing awareness for mental health and for that we are all better for it. As for trashing your former team years later publically: Bad form. Its weak IMO. He is in the rear view mirror for me as a Sabres fan.
  21. Let Power go to college, it will take years before anyone sees any payoff from that pick (if we ever do TBH) so don't waste the year
  22. Internet posters (mostly from the Northeast meaning Boston NY etc) who's ammo is to talk down a player in hope that their team sharks that player for 30 cents on the dollar, and those internet posters will be the first ones after the deal to pump out their chest and brag how they 'stole' that player.
  23. Krebs, Tuch, #1 in 2022 and #1 in 2023 even if Sabres need to send back a 3rd ship this deal and lets move forward.
