  1. 1. 1. Which of these best describes what you think the Sabres will get from Eichel this year?

    • He will be traded before the season starts
    • He will not attend camp and he will stay away from the team until he is eventually traded, but it's going to take time
    • He will undergo surgery and return to the ice for the team in the New Year to rehabilitate his body and his reputation
    • He will pass his physical next week and be available to play, forcing the Sabres to trade him, suspend him, or play him

He'll play and score his usual 60-80 points while disappearing from time to time in games and still won't be quite able to play at a high level in the defensive end....for somebody?

You must have skipped 2019-20

Hard to find time to disappear while scoring nearly a point a game in his career.  If healthy, he's on the verge of being a superstar, it'll happen soon.

Eichel will forever be the story of what could have been. He might go on to superstar status but he's no McDavid. 

Well, ya, because we are trading him away. Unless we are thinking his breakout season was a sham, it's very likely we saw what Eichel had become/is: an elite player in the NHL (yes, no one is McDavid).

Sulking, missing of  20+ games, complete and utter lack of backchecking, whining when the few people in the stands don't adore him anymore.

Eichel doesn’t want to play for Buffalo any longer… He made it crystal clear in word and deed… All the wishful hoping to the contrary is magical thinking… KA is right to trade him when he gets a fair return… If not, Eichel may stay on the roster… but I wouldn’t let him near the locker room full of our positive young players… unless he did a very private apology to the team… and a very public apology to the Pegulas and Buffalo fans…
