sicknfla Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Murray is going to go after McDavid. This could get interesting. Don't think Edmonton budges but he will offer a lot.

Hoss Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 My three predictions from tonight: -The Oilers win the cup within three years. -McDavid signs with the Maple Leafs in 2022. -The Sabres win the cup by the time McDavid is a Maple Leaf.

deluca67 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Wow, the WGR guys are almost in tears. Welcome Jack Eichel! Now it's up to Tim Murray to get to work and fill out the rest of this future Stanley Cup Champion. Go Sabres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejeanneret Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 They would trade out to us. Edmonton Buffalo swap would be something. I could see the Oilers playing this angle. I could also see Murray playing ball with them. Although the GM said he couldn't see himself trading out of this position, which is why i'm thinking they just take Eichel since admitting of not trading the pick takes out the drama for Buffalo Murray is going to go after McDavid. This could get interesting. I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 And this is why you don't tank. Jack Eichel had better be the next Modano. You are never guaranteed the #1pick. NEVER!!!!!!!!!! By the way, when is Mike Babcock coming again? Yes the Sabres have loads of young talent but I do feel this "rebuild" will now take considerably longer then expected. In Jack we trust!!!! I still do not believe Babcock sets foot in Buffalo so start looking for another coach whose last name isn't Bylsma. Calling Luke Richardson! I hope this all pans out Sabre fans or we are in for years of more pain. Not my way of building but I am no GM. I prefer the Habs, Wings, Bruins way of building. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY YOU TANK. We're still getting the other generational talent in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Meh, I'm just happy a real fan base gets to enjoy him and he's buried out west. Eichel is coming for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro60 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Even Milbury looked bummed for the kid. Edmonton does nothing for the NHL to market to the US audience. It is not a good TV fit. Even if they sign him...there will not be a flood of free agent talent wanting to play there. It is not the 80s and Gretzky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 The price would not be worth paying... The price won't be that high. EDM could just draft Eichel and leave us McDavid but they'd be dumb to do that. They should trade with the Sabres, but Murray will laugh and hang up on the Oilers if they ask for too much. We offer them the Islanders #1 pick and they take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, the tank was never about getting McDavid. The tank was about ensuring we got McDavid or Eichel which we did! The tank was a success. How would you like to be Arizona? They're the team that got screwed. And I can't say I'm unhappy about that because Regier didn't deserve it.

Robviously Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 They would trade out to us. Edmonton Buffalo swap would be something. Something dumb. If we're making trades it should be to build around Eichel, not to make the slight upgrade from Eichel to McDavid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas23 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 What if Edmonton stuns the hockey world and trades the pick? As they really don't need another forward. Doubtful they'd pass on McDavid but you never know. They actually could build their team for many years if they traded down to 2, then traded down to 3 and took Hanifan.

dudacek Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Very surprised at how bummed McDavid looked. Edmonton hardly deserved another shot, but he's as far way from Buffalo as possible. And that was great theatre. Surprised how tense I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't want Murray to go after McDavid. It would be bad if it didn't get done and became public. How would Eichel feel? This way Eichel can play with a chip on his shoulder trying to prove he's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro60 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Don't forget the Sabres have another first round pick and two second round picks. They will get some talented young men this year. If done well, the future is bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
