OK, how about Nick Baptiste, a right winger I forgot? GO SABRES!!!

This saddens Nikita. GO SABRES!!!

Justin Bailey, Hudson Fasching, and Evan Rodrigues beg to differ. GO SABRES!!!

I'll pretend you didn't say that. GO SABRES!!!

A glut of centers. Talented centers, too. When I think of where we were, it blows me away. GO SABRES!!!

He oughta. We just drafted the best center Kane has ever had at any level of hockey. GO SABRES!!!

Well said. GO SABRES!!!

Oh, I noticed. And then I forgot about it. He's just a cracked egg in the ROR omelette. GO SABRES!!!

I'd be shocked if that hasn't already been worked out. I predict sometime next week. GO SABRES!!!

Disagree. We have plenty left on the shelves. Eichel will never get traded. Ever. It's only a question of when his jersey joins Bert's in the rafters. GO SABRES!!!

And damned if he didn't do just that. Who had four words in the pool? GO SABRES!!!

I predict he signs a new deal next week. No way they haven't had talks already. GO SABRES!!!

Was thinking the exact same thing. WOW! I remove the demerit I gave him earlier for the Lehner deal because I was sure 21 was gonna be part of the O'Reilly deal, anyway. GO SABRES!!!

Precisely the reason I doubt Bahston would even think about trading within conference, let alone division. GO SABRES!!!

Yep. Murray just became the league's b!tch. GO SABRES!!!

Strike one, Timmy. Wonder if he has designs on the Ottawa job and he is gumming up our works before leaving. Wouldn't surprise me if he trades Eichel to the Senators tonight. Time for Pegula to meddle. GO SABRES!!!

Timmy must be feeling sorry for his uncle. Just a horrible deal all the way around. What a letdown on Eichel day. First time I truly question his competency. GO SABRES!!!

Kid on the right looks like he's gonna blow chunks. Did Eichel put him through a bag skate? GO SABRES!!!

I've been given some conflicting information regarding his eligibility, apparently. EDIT: Apparently, this rule only applies to European players drafted by CHL teams before being drafted by NHL teams. GO SABRES!!!

Well, I accidentally deleted my post so you are in! But yeah, his rights are held by the QMJHL team, so it's either NHL or Juniors for Eichel if he leave school. GO SABRES!!!

I noticed the comments, too. But it's not about him being arrogant, it's about him preferring to stay in college and play NCAA hockey vs. being forced to go to Juniors because he isn't eligible for the AHL. Perfectly reasonable to ask the Sabres for that guarantee. Not arrogant at all. GO SABRES!!!

LOL! "I'd block slap shots in the nude if Jack Eichel becomes an Edmonton Oiler." Good piece, though. I've always enjoyed the raw passion and insight that scouts are uniquely qualified to give about prospects. GO SABRES!!!

"When erect? This big."

Any chance the Sabres will stream this on their website? Seems like a no brainer. El Pegaul really needs to get moving on the local sports network idea. GO SABRES!!!

I just assume people know my infatuation with Eichel goes back to last September's prospect game in Buffalo and have read all my posts about him since so I take for granted that everyone would just get my sarcasm. Can't wait to see how it all shakes out, too. I like everything about this kid. GO SABRES!!!
