this is impossible to answer before Jack gets traded.

what the best case scenario for the Sabres this season ? I'll be amazed if they don't finish bottom 5.

Finding out the best deal is from Calgary?

I would love for him to call this one right. I would forgive him for calling Josh Allen a clown during the NE game in 2019! plus i still cant forget him saying Sheary was just a victim of bad puck luck.

hard to believe this thread is 5 months old an no resolution. only 4 weeks till training camp (I think)

Im going to guess Borgen will be back, no way he cracks the Seattle line-up. will be waived and the Sabres pick him up

too bad , you missed some fun hockey the last few months of last season

of course it can. If they continue to play offensive minded hockey under Granato and show improvements, we will survive this season. The completed pretty well over the last couple of months of last season in a tough division, maybe they surprise us? More than anything they just need to show that this time the re-build is being done right. Im excited for this season, even though I know they will lose more than they win.

my guess is BOrgen is back when waived by Seattle no way he makes the opening night roster

I call Calgary and ask what they want for Monahan Maybe he comes a relatively low price. I hate throwing Mitts or Cozens into the #1 center role so early in their careers. though seems he may have a 10 team no trade clause, im pretty sure the Sabres would be on the list

i completely agree about a team balking at including Krebs in the trade. Its almost like people are forgetting how good Jack is. a year ago, Sabres wouldn't even consider that trade, now its their ask?

i thought he said Krebs was off limits at this time?

Approve the replacement that he wants done, show he is 100% healthy, trade him for value and put the risk of long term injury on anther team. Maybe they need to ask for future 1st to be conditional on games played by Eichel?

Hockey News reports Buffalo's ask was Krebs, Hague, Smith and 1st rounder. Vegas reluctant to give up Krebs Hague is a good player but another LHD?? Smith will be UFA at end of season. crazy to think that Vegas is the team that is undecided on this deal. Who will be the team to cave in and give up their top prospect? hopefully one team moving forward will lead to others

I agree. Let him have the surgery. It’s likely going to be a success (at least in the short run). Show other teams he is healthy, get fair value. Make the future 1st round picks conditional on the number of games he plays

Sorry if this has already been posted JS Dea on radio in Montreal The Laval native mentioned the big difference between Jack Eichel and Sidney Crosby: leadership. "All I can tell you is that he's no Sidney Crosby. "He's not a bad person, but maybe there are reasons why Buffalo was in a situation like that".

The real question is “ do they get traded if they start stopping pucks next season?”

dell and Anderson. Who would have guessed 🤷‍♂️

Who’s else is needing a goalie ? COL? Anyone else ?

I don’t agree , think that would be a mistake. It’s one thing bringing in a Dman too early like they did with Risto, it’s another to throw a young goalie into the deep end

Did I miss a signing? What are the options ???

My guess would be Minny and Vegas as the 2 most likely landing spots. MTL would be in there too but I think the same division thing does carry weight

Must get 2 capable goalies above all else

A MTL trade that includes Kotkaniemi, Romanov and a 1st is as good as it’s going to get. No way Suzuki or Caufield come the other way.
