I am slowly coming round to Granato. I think his professionalism has been impeccable, and the fact that he sat the cr@p vets to let the young guys get a look in for next year shows he actually gives a damn about this team. If we are to lose Jack for young players then he's in a great position to bring them on together. Not like the old school guys (Torts) who I think will suck the life of the youth.
Counterpoint:
In a
Eichel played through injury. Got new injury. I think that shows his desire to play for the team. He then Read on buzzfeed or some ***** that he could be back quickly with a roboneck but Sabres were concerned that the long term had not been studied in NHL players. Pouty Jack unhappy sabres won't risk it. No doubt he would love to be a Bruin or Cap but I don't doubt the commitment to the sabres.
No news here and I would be pissed if he was all smiles and giggles after this season.
Yeah I see that for them. I'd love to see Tkachuk with Cozens and possibly (in a year or 2) Matej Pekar. They could be hard to play against. (Maybe even the relentlessness of JJP when he's ready).
Tkachuk Lindholm(or Monahan) and Gaudreau for Jack and Sam??
When did fans get what they want though? I don't think any if us on here wanted Eakin or Irwin. Ranger owner is, IMHO, someone who needs to make the big statement. For that reason alone I think a move to NYC is on the cards.
Rangers for Eichel makes no sense. They will not pony up what would be a fair trade without handicapping their team, which is not great. Eichel would end up on a buffalo-like NYR team imo.
Blah blah season didn't go the way we expected... blah blah... injury.. blah blah.... Covid.... blah blah... can't wait to come back healthy next year for playoff push.... blah blah...
