Too late, Eichel… You want out… You are dead to me…
-
I am all in for clearing away the losing attitudes, resetting the culture, and rebuilding around the core of young players who are excited to play for Buffalo… but if KA allows Eichel to return, he will be setting back the process he just started… and undermining the rebuild… The prima donna’s attitude is poisonous… If he can’t move him, take the “C” back and send him home… Some playoff contender will meet KA’s price sooner than later… Will be a sign of confidence in Granato and the kids… It will send reverberations around the league… Things are different in Buffalo… No better time than now for bold leadership… The Pegulas would be smart to let Adams and his team run the club…
-
Said it many times since the season ended… Eichel is a cancer… KA needs to keep him as far away from the kids as possible… No way he stays…
-
Don’t believe for a skinny minute Granato or the kids are going to play to lose…
-
Thanks…

I went through the ***** on this site also. They criticize someone for posting "off topic" but when one of the regulars does it, it's perfectly acceptable. Mostly,many on here are delusional, you'll figure it out soon enough. It is amusing to read many of the posts though and in the end, we're here because we are Sabres fans. But basically, don't let them get to you and defend yourself and your post when you need to. Everyone, including myself, posts ***** on here. Welcome to the board!

Thanks, eman… Good advice… Still wondering why it was a stupid question… Think it is past time for Kim to step aside… Ten years of losing is testament to the Pegulas inexperience… Anyway, appreciate your kind words… Go Sabres!
-
I totally agree. Kim has zero experience running a hockey team and it shows. This franchise is a disgrace. Absolutely she should be gone from running it. It isn't personal with Kim, I don't dislike Kim but the results are the results in a results driven profession. I am having to defend myself on this site right now about me being concerned with the number of Swedes we are accumulating on this team. This board is delusional to say the least. Hang tough!

Well, obviously you know something I don’t… Educate me, please…

When will Kim Pegula step down for an experienced Hockey Executive??…
-
They both work for the Pegulas… Would be a mistake if they didn’t encourage Beane to mentor Adams on the challenges of the non-hockey GM strategies, processes, and tasks…

Call me Old School… It’s one thing to disagree with Sabres Medical staff about surgery… It’s his body… It’s his right… It’s another thing to do your rehab away from Harbor Center’s world-class facility and your team… Eichel abandoned his teammates during their 18 game losing streak… The Captain vanished, literally… No public comments… No public encouragement or words of confidence in his team… Out of sight, out of mind… This said more to me about Eichel than anything else he did here… The mistake made with Eichel had nothing to do with Krueger or Granato… It was putting too much pressure on the kid… It was giving him the “C” too soon… He wasn’t ready… He might never be ready… He flunked as a leader… and a Sabre… Just my opinion…
-
Bummer for us… Good luck to Borgen…
-
Eichel is responsible for his attitude and interview remarks… I get he is frustrated and only 24, but he is the Captain of this team… His behavior telegraphs more concern with his “personal team” than his impact on his teammates and the Sabres… He clearly doesn’t want to be here and has made no comment otherwise… Keep him away from the kids… His attitude is cancer… If I were Adams and couldn’t trade Eichel before the preseason, I would take “C” and send him home until I could… Just my opinion, of course…
-
I don’t want Eichel either… His self-absorbed attitude Is a cancer on a team… If Adams can’t trade him before the season starts, rip the “C” off his sweater, keep him off the ice and out of the locker room… Same for Risto, though still hoping Reinhart can buy in… Go with young kids and players who want to be here… Rebuild around winners…
-
Eichel’s public bad act is a cancer… If Adams can’t trade him, he should rip the “C” from his sweater and send him home… No place for him in Buffalo… He gave up on us… Keep the loser off the ice and out of the locker room… away from the young core of the future…
-
The Left wants to control all messaging… Sports is no exception…
-
It’s preposterous to think Adams and Granato will not interview and get a complete background on the character of the new players they draft or bring into the team… Adams is using the Beane-McDermott team building model… and my bet is he is consulting with them… and they are happy to give him guidance… Will be sorry to see Reinhart leave… Too bad he will miss the fun of being a part of the Sabres future… Unless Adams screws the pooch… it is bright…

Official Don Granato Named New Sabres Head Coach
Believer replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Bravo, Adams… Congrats, Granato… Earned after decades of winning coaching at several levels… Deserved after taking over the Sabres and leading the team out of its misery… Exciting times for this young team and its coach… -
Reinhart… He’s a gamer… Eichel is a cancer… and damaged goods…
-
The reason Eichel comes off like a jackass is because he is a jackass… Prima donna with great skills… and a self-absorbed personality… Not a team player, how he got and kept the “C” is a joke… If he can’t be traded, cut him… Eichel is a cancer… Give Granato and his young team who play to win, play for each other, and play for the fans a chance to grow together… and restore the hockey legacy in Buffalo…
-
You weren’t listening to Eichel closely enough, perhaps … There is no fixing it with him… He already is gone in his mind… He can only poison the locker room now… and be a bad example for the youngsters who played their hearts out in his absence… Adams should rip the “C” from his sweater… and trade him while he still has good value…
-
Big contract didn’t do much for Eichel’s expression of commitment to Buffalo today…
-
Laughable… A sucker born every day… Eichel selling digital tulips… What a guy…
-
Eichel is not a winner... Eichel is not a leader... Eichel does not want to be in Buffalo... The “C” wouldn’t even rehab here... Wasn’t here with his teammates during the losing streak... offering support in the press and leadership in the locker room... Given a similar circumstance, who thinks Josh Allen would have abandoned his team??... Adams should have ripped the “C”from his sweater and given it to a player who cares about his mates... Trade Eichel now while he still has decent value... He is not part of any positive Sabres future...
-
Unbelievable... GM Adams traded away a legit back-up Goaltender... and had months to bring another legit back-up to the team... Sorry... Guy is a Bonehead...

Jonas Johansson Traded to Colorado for 2021 6th Round Pick
Believer replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Good to see KA working the phones... JJ trade is notice to the league this is his team now... and the Sabres are dealing... More to come... Bigger names... Coach or no coach... my bet... -
Now What? Setting a New Course or Rebuild 5.0?
Believer replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
“If Rutherford thinks KA isn’t up to the task, fire him this off-season and let Rutherford hire the next GM and coach.” Unimpressed with Adams this morning... Sat there like a dope after his statement waiting for questions instead of asking “Who’s got the first question?”... Not a confident leader and not smart enough... Compare him to men of vision like Beane or McDermott... Fire him and get a leader with a builder’s vision beyond “be proud to wear a Sabres jersey”... It will take bringing proven hockey winners to Buffalo... who exude confidence and pride... Winners ready to take the next step in their careers...
