To steal a line from the great Tony Schivonne after Hogan turned heel at BOTB 96: "Jack Eichel you can go straight to hell!"

They are having trouble finding a trade partner because he has a bad rep as a petulant brat among many in the league. His actions just confirmed this and will result in this dragging out longer (which is the direct opposite of the desired effect).

OK after that he can go straight to hell. When he comes back he deserves the Pajama Boy treatment times 10. And the thing that hurts the most is that I defended this guy from vicious attacks and in the end they were 100% correct. For that game bring Patty Kaletta out of retirement, he'll know what to do.

If the hold up is retaining salary: If this drags on through the season and everyone on planet Earth KNOWS he must be dealt by July 1st 2022 teams will know they have us by the shorthairs and then teams will demand that we retain salary AND offer less than they are now. So we can retain salary now and get the deal we want or wait and STILL have to retain salary just to get a much worse deal.

"But finishing last guarantees us Jack Eichel" How did that work out?

"Here's Bobby Orr Moore, skates like Orr but defends like *****".

Seriously, go to College or Junior games because at least you get what you pay for. The Sabres are an NHL team in name only.

If the NHL expelled the Sabres from the league for failing to meet minimum standards could anyone seriously say it was unjust?

You only need a goalie if you want to win.

My Brooksie story: After Pajama Boy Night he wrote a ***** hit piece on the Islanders fans that managed to get ever detail wrong. A friend of mine who was a longtime usher at the Coliseum wrote him a letter politely explaining the situation and all the things he got wrong in the article. Brooks replied thanking him for the insight and then essentially repeated all the bullcrap in the first article the next day.

Which one of his GM chums is Honest Bobby stooging for?

Thanos snaps his fingers and makes half the teams in the east disappear so we get one of the 8 spots by default.

If the goal of an organization is to lose, if losing is the standard, if losing is acceptable then you will do nothing but lose. That's not meant as some brilliant insight, it's just common sense.

You left out the part where the guys the Sabres draft end up being worse (and usually much worse) than the player that poster wanted them to take at that spot.

Was a Button video but it was under the assumption his path was blocked by Knight so that has probably changed (this was clarified to me elsewhere).

Can someone clarify this: I heard the plan is that Levi stays 4 years and is a UFA. If this is true what did we actually acquire of any value?

If you play in a league that is literally designed through mechanisms like the cap and loser points to create parity being competitive should be the goal every season.

I don't think you understand just how bad this team is going to be. Multiple double digit losing streaks are all but guaranteed, just look at that roster.

Sending kids to go out and get crushed on a nightly basis is not going to lead to development it's going to lead to disaster.

So Adams may have just got conned like a mark at the county fair.

Like how that fool Bobby Mac said ROR was nothing but a third line center on a good team?

The guy in Vancouver is desperate to save his job but wasn't willing to top this pitiful offer and get an insane amount of goodwill?

They aren't winning more than 20 games next season with the young players getting crushed and humiliated on a nightly basis at an expansion Thrashers level and people think that's going to build a winning culture?

You fail to understand why Florida demanded that: It's a humiliation ritual designed to rub salt in the wound and allow the Florida GM to get his jollies.
