One would assume any Eichel deal would include an established center and center prospect.... but we're talking about the Sabres, so....

Yeah I get it... it speaks well for his character, as a rookie he's letting his teammates know what he's about. That's nice, but it doesn't move the needle wrt fixing what's wrong with the organization as a whole. Guys that I'd like to see fight in the next few games in no particular order... Reinhart VO Skinner Hall Eichel Dahlin Hutton Jokiharju

It's true that he's playing well, but at $6m/yr he needs to be scoring and creating more.

.. but how was the synergy?

I agree with this. However, do you trust Sabres management to execute a trade of this magnitude? I certainly don't. With the state of the franchise, with the financial issues causing them to trim down a large chunck of their front office positions, I'm afraid the primary motivation behind an Eichel trade would be to dump salary.... meaning the return will most likely be underwhelming.

The way Joe said it so matter of factly feels like it's most likely the truth. Maybe it came from Eichel's camp. If he wants to be a Ranger, perhaps they felt it best to inform their media exactly why he's been struggling this season.

What is KA supposed to say? All you're going to hear is "It's been an unprecedented season with the long layoff and lack of a proper training camp the team hasn't been able to come together yet on the ice but we feel we have the right mix and are 100% behind Ralph and the coaching staff who are doing everything they can to uh blah blah blah. "

RK: well you see the injury at the time you see uh the uh player in question entering training camp obviously not an ideal situation certainly we uh the region um where the injury occured uh the skating and conditioing getting the player fit what happened earlier before training camp not really say what you think the issue might what uh you feel to be a typical thing where the impact of the movement and the uh lack of the attention we felt it would be best to uh you see thats how it affected the player where if you look at it from the team the ability to uh what the idea where if that who the player is if we uh felt it best for Jack and the team if he couldn't go but the uh warmups if bodily region where we felt if the player did he could but not we couldn't feel if the team did what who where said he if went... Jack: i broke a rib

They lost. Don't care about the fight, don't care about Skinner's game... it's a loss. Do Better.

switch goalies and Buffalo wins this game easy

Bryson with Montour?!

can you waive somebody in the middle of game?

classic Reinhart

holy Hutton, what was he doing sliding to his left there

I'd like to see Cozens get a few looks at center. He can't be any worse than Staal at this point.

In the Rangers pre-game Joe Micheletti mentioned Eichel had a cracked rib entering training camp.

If history is a guide, Sam Reinhart is due for a big game, before disappearing again for a stretch of 3-4 games.

Seth Appert for HC? A guy who has coached a grand total of 7 pro hockey games in his entire career? I'm surprised Terry and Kim haven't already promoted him.

huge breakout game for Eichel, Hall and Skinner Rangers win 7-5

Stalock hasn't played this year, he's rehabbing from an upper body injury. That last thing they need is another injured goalie.

RK is a politician and Hall drank the koolaid.

such an attractive franchise too, what with all those expensive contracts coming off the books... oh wait.
