I may have a mental breakdown. I was live and die with every Sabres game the tank year. If there's any chance we lose him after like 5 years then I may....I donno, I'll be pretty upset.

LOL. Shut the contest down.

That was hammy take. Therefore I now think I want him.

I don't think I want him do to the contract but man it would be a fun year next season if we got him and kept Kane.

Jack Eichel.

Fair but he had a better ppg then tarasenko last season coming off a devastating injury. He's a better player today and 4 years younger. He just has t been in the league long enough to put up those points. I'd rather a guy get paid on potential (especially on a guy with huge hype that hasn't disappointed) than so many guys who are just paid for past production. LOL. Good to see us back on the same mindset again. I missed ya blue lol.

If tarasenko got $7.5 you don't think Jack is worth $2 mil more?

I know rfa years matter but jack is better than tarasenko. He's better than the other two as well. Surprised how cheaply Florida got barkov.

This. Was just about to start digging into percentage of cap hit per deal. For the record there are few guys on the league I would rather have than jack. Maybe I'm biased but outside of Connor, maybe Austin and sid I'd rather jack.

When were these deals signed? I'm not going to figure out what I should pay for a house based on the price of what the neighbour sold for 4 years ago.

He's not McDavid. But if McDavid is $13+ you don't think Jack is worth $9, $9.5?

Sounds like mcjesus is going to get 8 years 13+ per. I'm now thinking it'll be atleast 9, maybe 10 per for jack. I just hope this is an 8 year deal.

Lots thinking about dropping tickets and they increase ticket prices again. Something something revenue sharing. Blah.

March 10 should work for me!

Ya between the lack of Saturday games, cancellation of prospects game and cheap secondary market, I'm seriously considering skipping the mini pack this year and just buying a couple of games on stub hub.

Bahhahahhahha nice.

We're not going to have any meltdowns losing any of those three right?

Usually late August for mini pack and early September for individual games.

Agreed. This team screamed of dysfunction last season. He was the captain.

True.

Like it. He played ok for the most part last year.

:w00t:

Speaking of him. Did he even get re-drafted? Some were very concerned about not signing him but I can't find any news on where he was picked? If he wasn't then I presume he can still be signed as an undrafted free agent? For the record, I still don't care either way if he's signed or not. Oh lord.....Maybe I'm just showing my age but I remember (not so) fondly the 'Roy and Tim are 2 top 20 centres in the league. You can't have enough high end centres in your organization. I also agree you can't have too many high end D in your organization. One guy seems to be concensus ranked in the top 6, other guy was ranked by multiple people/services as outside of the top 10. The only mild surprise is the selection was Mittelstadt over Vilardi.

Unfortunately my nephew spent a couple of months there. Unbelievable staff and facilities. All is good with him now. Thanks again. These bets have a much better outcome then one of us having to use a pi equivalent avatar all summer.

I mean there's enough info out there that if you want to make an argument they should have went with someone else at 8 then fine. But third round picks in at best a middling draft? Come on man. You obviously have done some homework and I appreciate the info you put out about certain guys but you're comments about how they were throwing picks away and your overall disdain for the selections is ridiculous. Wishing they took someone else? Sure. But your posts have been more than that. Just trust that jbot and scouting staff have wayyyyyyy more data than you and I do.
