they were definitely trying to goad him into saying something "headline" worthy but he was too smart for hem.

Edit that. Akil Thomas not Kayliev

Any word on the return? I would hope it would have to include either Zegras or Byfield

Brown has a NMC. Doubt he waves it and I can’t imagine getting both Byfield and Turcotte. it you can get either Byfield or Turcotte (preferably QB) and a 2021 first, a middle of the pack prospect like Kalyiev, along with a roster player, I think they’ve done ok I could see them wanting to move Quick Schmidt is a LHD, the Sabres deepest position Risto for a 1st is enticing but I’m thinking a expansion team may want to hold onto their 1st rounders

Nick is a UFA. Certainly would be someone the Sabres should think about

I’m on board. Trading Markus was definitely a big mistake. Leopold in return???

I think there would be a better trade out there

Can we add Jary and their 1sr rounder ?

Beniers and Powers are expected to play in the Worlds. Will be interesting to see how they do against professionals

100% QB, their first round this year and a mid level prospect to start the conversation.

you were excited because you saw them play without Eichel and they played hard and an exciting brand of hockey, we figured you add Eichel to the mix and maybe they finally have something. They wont give Eichel away for nothing, lets wait to see the return before getting too depressed. but i do agree it sucks.

I was talking more of Dahlin and Cozens are the new leaders of the future and maybe even the present. I don't think you can have a C on a guy that doesnt want to be on the team (if thats where they are at).

which one?

Im sure there is a vet they can find to fill both the leadership and 4th line roll. Eric Staal perhaps? 🙂

I think they are forcibly taking them now Jack Eichel thinks about what is best for Jack Eichel Dylan Cozens, in the middle of an 18 game losing streak, thinks "what can i do to get this team going" before starting a fight vs the NYR.

if the current leadership isn't here next year, Cozens and Dahlin both say they want to step up take over the leadership roles and become players others look up to. Honestly, I think its time. Its their team now. Get Beniers in the draft + the players & picks you get back for Eichel, Samson and Risto. I really do think the Sabre could surprise next year and would be set up to become great If they get back the right pieces in trades

I will say this about the Sabres, I enjoyed watching them the last 2 months of the season and Eichel was not once in the line-up. I was excited to see Eichel with the new line-up and coach but if you can add a couple of other high end players / prospects and be done with the Eichel drama....you have to consider it.

I would lean Chytil or Kravtsov. but in general i completely agree, thats about the best they are going to get for him at this point

Lets see what his deal next season looks like. If they can only get him to sign for 1 year, then you MUST trade him

If Jacks doctors say do it, Sabres say dont...why not find an impartial specialist?

yep.. if you get a 1st rounder for the pick then you just have to accept

I disagree, I think we should be doing cartwheels if that's the return. My expectation for the return is much much lower

Of course I have nothing to base this on but I’m guessing Zegras would be a non starter for the Ducks. for the first time ever, I’m clearly on board with trading Eichel as long as a genuine elite prospect is coming back. It’s a short list Byfield, Kakko; Zegras, Dach, Caufield. im sure there’s a couple of more but not many

My new line up for oct skinner - Tbd TBD Bjork Cozens R2 Asplund Mitts Tage Girgs. Shehan. Okposo Dahlin. Joker Samsuelsson. Borgen Bryson TBD TBD TBD

Not the ducks but if they are willing. I say yes if you are unsure about Zegras. Just go watch a few of his NHL games.
