Nothing changes in a positive way until the Fracker and the Golddigger sell the team. Eichel's injury comments suggest that the franchise is even more messed up than we ever thought imaginable. I have been advocating for a pressure campaign to force the Pegulas to sell. No tickets and no merchandise until they sell the team to someone who will keep them in Buffalo. They're not going to sell the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jack, Sam and Risto go, so be it, but fix the dam-gun blasted problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an accumulation of things imo. We aren't privy to the whole story. I feel like both sides could present a case for less than complete execution of the contract terms through the years.

I-90 W Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 In case anyone is interested in how an NHL team could block a surgery, it’s in the current CBA. https://info.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/jack-eichel-drops-another-bombshell-during-his-exit-interview?fbclid=IwAR3SrSvGKsk2lZ4HIhQmwV2RGvHkrZmdYhVAa7H0FK3OpVTd6o4V3PnNUlY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonstrating that you care enough to pay for this demonstrates that you still care enough to be a fan and that you will still tune in like the owners want you to. Making the team irrelevant is the best option. Egomaniacs want a platform... 1 hour ago, Taro T said: Just watched Jack's presser. Don't know if the decision to not want Eichel to have the surgery was made by Adams or ownership (obviously after consulting w/ their own medical experts) but can't see Eichel ever trusting the individual(s) that are resisting him going that route moving forward. There's a LOT of repair work that would be necessary to fix that relationship. Doubt any of them have the ability to do it. This emotion is inline with that felt on 7/1/7, the day Dom was dealt, & the day O'Reilly was dealt. Clearly with the injury situations of this team there are some questions that need to be asked. At this point I don't see how I can put faith into this ownership team. I think there's more rotten than we know. We're hearing from the players today. We've speculated about RJ the past few days with some of his comments. Dunleavy appears to have left things open (even if he had before). Right now the only person we know who wanted to be here is Jason Karmanos. Also - anyone still hoping for Rutherford? Gallant? Boudreau? Even Tortorella wouldn't come here.

I think they could bring in quality people if they are determined to do so.

Just don't see those types wanting to come without full authority and Pegulas don't want to give it in my opinion. I'm very close to thinking the only solution is Pegulas se!ling the team. Yes, That's putting relocation a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even said they’ve had “tough conversations” that he has to look out for himself first and foremost etc. No one literally says the words “I demand a trade” to the press but that’s basically what he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a rather large swath of changes made in the last couple of years from scouting, to PSE, to coaching and development. Seems like trainers, team doctors, etc probably also need some new blood. The big issue is a lot of that isn't handled under Adams, who while inexperienced I still trust considerably more than Kim and Terry.
