Send me a PM. I’ve owned 2 now. I have developed some strong feelings about this. I can’t respond while at work but I’ll write you a novella once home.
I would be very interested in that novella, too. I've been covering the thought of having a fishing kayak for a few years, but have never been able to pull the trigger. Cost + my concerns about potential aggravating my lower back pain. Also so many friggin options it becomes dizzying trying to discern usefulness, necessity, or just plain marketing feature.
Please do share your wisdom from experience on what features to look for and best value buy.

I know you’re main gripe seems to be with the removal of “up” from washed up but the term originated over 100 years ago and refers to someone in theatre who has left the stage and washed off their makeup, thus no longer being able to perform.
Language is fluid and the ability to quickly learn new or modified terms is a talent of note for a country where most only know one language.
You need to study your Latin young man.

So, the talking heads are talking about the Olympics as if Eichel is C2. They are speculating the lineups but didn't hesitate to put Eichel in as a roster lock.
Feels like a reach to assume right now that Jack will be back and or healthy by that time.
Begs the question:
If Jack is on LTIR with the Sabres, could he still play with the US Olympic team?
That is added proof to Jack's trade value, not to mention general opinion on health/ability to contribute this season. Fire up the talking heads and keep pumping the Eichel tires. All you lame low bidders, time to step up your game and become high bidders to win this World Class Elite Hockey Asset!!! GMKA hotline is open for business!

Each passing day I get more disgusted that he is on our team and our captain. We get it, everyone is frustrated, but public displays in emoji format are juvenile at best and destructive at worst.
Let's get this trade over and done. We have a positive future to execute sans Jack-Jack.

I did want a flush you are right. (and Eichel is still here so a plunger is needed before the stink rises) but there's no proper reset to go with it. We needed to start with 2 goalies. That's your cornerstone. Adams went all in on Ullmark (with his ceiling) but there was no back up plan and no second goalie. Kraken got themselves too many goalies and a really good one as their cornerstone. They get it. Bruins already had a very promising Swayman ready but they stole Ullmark. They get it. We needed to add veteran leaders to teach the kids. We added a bunch of journeymen and fringe bodies. Who wears the C this year? Kyle?
You can't just flush, wait for the kids and leave it alone, you need a foundation to build around. The way it sits now we're just going to teach the next group to lose same as before.
and the Eichel situation has been blown by Adams. It's going to be worse than ROR. Just watch.
Sure blame me not them.
When they do something good I will be there to praise it. So get them on that will ya?
Not blaming you for others' actions. Just yours. Grateful you are an active contributor to this SS community. Just requesting you not pile on the poisonous hate. I understand the need to vent, just not at us.

Still irrelevant.
and I'm allowed to hate this team as much as I want to right now. You can chill all you want to, I hate what this franchise has turned into. and don't bother telling me I should leave, I'm already mulling it over.
Hate the team all you want (and justifiably so). Respectfully, please, just stop coming in here and spewing that hate. It is not helpful or productive to this community.

For all of you trashing Eichel's character, per Paul Hamilton on WGR today: "I want people to know...make no mistake...Jack Eichel likes and LOVES the city of Buffalo. It's the team that he has issues with."
How is that different than 99.9% of the posters on this board who are fed up with the sheer incompetence of this organization? I'm not saying he's blameless for how this shite show has played out but the character assassination is over the top, IMO.
That may be true. But he is in a position of responsibility. He is our CAPTAIN. He has not earned this role or displayed ANY Leadership qualities. Not necessarily his fault that he was given the C purely on hockey talent. That is the underlying problem though. He has never learned to lead men through adversity. He is not capable and hurting the team (and the city/community he "loves"). His immaturity as a man & more importantly as a leader of men is speaking so loudly that no one can hear (or cares) what he says.
We need to remove the C and the player before we can remake this franchise.

Wondering if a 3 team deal has been introduced and the complexity is mucking up the timeline to pull the trigger???

In fairness though Jack doesn’t have to be a ROR or Kane level off the ice problem, just being an all star captain who doesn’t want to be here and is unhappy is enough to be rather damaging. When the most prominent player on the team is a malcontent (not saying he doesn’t have reason to be though), that can be a very destructive force. We’ve probably all seen it on some level or another in our respective work places.
At a minimum, that person can NOT be the team's Captain.

Strategically looking at where this team will be for the next 2 seasons - Not yet ready for prime time, but developing a young talent prospect corps growing up together over time. Any UFA we bring in here, there is only one quality I want - Leadership.
We need someone at the tail end of their career who has proven his leadership chops, and is not here for ego, but for the main purpose to MENTOR our next round of future Letter-wearers (to be earned by proving leadership in adversity, not given letters b/c of talent - see Eichel). Cozens shows early promise, but needs to sit as a Padawan learning under a Jedi-Master Leader of Men. We need to find that Leader/Mentor to train up a select few of these kids in the way they should one day soon lead.

WOW! We actually drafted a RUSSIAN! Anyone have comment/details on Prokhor Poltapov?
-
The pre draft presser they said it was all about how they rate the players PROJECTION longer term. Adams and Co. must have really liked some specific projection (also character/compete which is high on their list for building culture). We won't know for a few years. I'm giving Adams the benefit of the doubt on this one until he proves me wrong. Go Sabres!

It's gotta be Power. Unless they trade down for assets.
Hope they pull off a trade (perhaps including the new 13th pick) to get another pick in top 3-5. That way we get Eklund too!!!

I hope the Sabres Media Team have multiple cameras recording the drama right now inside the Draft War Room fielding all the calls for trades (Jack & Samson). Would make an EPIC "Blue & Gold" Episode!!! Oh, to be a fly on that wall right now.

Broke out the IPad to watch the draft and hang with the board tonight. I’ll be drinking, but I’d have been doing that anyway.
Good to know we aren't all drinking alone. We are all glued to our screens and raising a glass to our beloved SS Community! So pumped for tonight and all that could happen in the next 30 minutes. Go Sabres!!! Love to you all!

Philly
Eichel for Frost, Konecny, Farber, 1st
Reinhart for Konecny and frost
No on that for Eichel.
Throw in Philly's 1st and I'm OK with Reinhart package.

Eichel & Risto for McDavid? Seems reasonable.
Would also require us to throw in our 1OA pick plus lots more futures. Intriguing to dream though about revisiting the McEichel days of what could have been.

Just had the hopeful thought that the reason we haven't seen news of a Sabres trade yet is that Adams is pitting multiple teams/offers against eachother at this very moment. He has a deal that he likes, but is talking/taking calls with other teams to see if they can beat it, letting them know this is last chance before he pulls the trigger. One can dream.

Since 1pm I am sitting at computer hitting refresh on this thread hoping to see a trigger finally pulled on a Sabres trade. ANY trade will do. Please!

I really do believe that after Adams was appointed GM he met with Eichel and Eichel told him he favored leaving over staying. Indeed, Adams has never said that Eichel asked to be traded, but that doesn’t mean a thing and the Rangers rumors started immediately afterwards, and now here we are. The injury is a sorry sideshow covering what they both may
PS. The tone here has changed, just like before the ROR trade. There is that “just get it over with” acceptance, added to the refrain of “trade the bum, he is a bad captain”.
That's because he is a bad Captain. He has never learned or been mentored/developed on how to lead (especially how to lead through adversity). He has always been the Golden Child. The most talented on every team he has played on since PeeWee. He should have never been given the C until he EARNED it. Talent does not earn it. Leadership earns the C. (Not Jack's fault necessarily, but that is the position he has been put in). He is spoiled goods/talent and needs to be removed from the team for the best possible return. The only other option is to remove the C from him and just let him be an elite talent. It takes an extremely mature man to handle that demotion well. I don't see that maturity. Sad, but it is the right thing for GMKA to do with the cards he has been dealt if he wants to build a team for success.

As others have said, goaltending is capable of disaster but probably will be slightly less than serviceable. The young guns will find their way & identity in later portion of season after many opportunities of grinding & battling through adversity. Hoping they can surprise not only us, but the rest of the league in that regard.
Also important to add the asterisk of what the team looks like post-Eichel trade (assets returning may even include a goalie).
Let's get this party started!!!
