What would you give up on top of Eichel for McDavid if both wanted out this off-season? Just for fun...what would Edmonton ask for: I think: Eichel Cozens Dahlin Isn't that what you'd ask for?

The Oilers would laugh. They wouldn’t even do Eichel and Dahlin for McDavid. They wouldn’t do Eichel, Samson and Dahlin for McDavid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I just had a strange dream recently about McDavid being traded here for Eichel and our 1st. The HFboards crashed and our forum did as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it actually makes it harder to build a team with them in a cap era (unless you cheat like Tampa). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of many Sabres goals in recent years where the player seemed to give two shits. Dylan Cozens. Biggest smile I've ever seen after a goal. I'm sure the Sabres will ruin him soon enough to where he doesn't give a *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well overall and liked the Blues as cup champs. Idk what he ever did to us to warrant disdain. Just a lot of loser’s mentality hating on guys who find success in better situations. 10 hours ago, Norcal said: ***** him. Just because. I have no animosity towards him but he no longer plays for the Sabres. Therefore, ***** him. In other news....What a game between Winnipeg and the McDavids.

Pimlach Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 3 hours ago, Kristian said: Why blame O’Reilly for this franchise being clueless idiots? Agree. ROR tried to get his team fired up. They had injuries and they limped into the playoffs but he tried to build on their finish and their late season drive to 4th place. Leaders do that. They are not the same as they were 2 years ago, the loss of veterans like Peterangelo and Steen have left holes, Perron is out, Tarasenko was hurt most of the season, and they need to bring in more firepower. ROR was solid as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres need to give fans reasons to not harken back to the days of ROR, Briere & Drury. We thought Jack Sam and Rasmus (you pick), we’re the saviors. We were led astray.

Everything else is just window dressing and semantics. We can win with Jack, we can win without him. Or we can endlessly rebuild. It's up to the team. And they haven't passed the test in 10 years.

Probably wouldn't go that far; we'd end up effectively the same as Edmonton is now with the Best Player in the league along with little to nothing else. If you acquire McDavid for Eichel you have to keep Dahlin in order to assure you're in a better place than Edmonton is presently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
