Last year was all luck we almost had the 3rd pick !!!! God is the one that help us not the tank at the End
- gerbe75pts

Not sure if you remember last year at all or you tried to black it out of your mind with heavy drinking like some of us but it wasn't luck. We lost the right games. Columbus decided not to buy in to tanking because it wasn't "ethical" and we were battling Arizona for that last spot.

yeah

he could be a 90 point player, could be a 60 point player

not so sure about the sharp comparison...love sharp, but Eichel's talent-level far surpasses him, imo...whereas the norm for sharp would be 60, it will probably be more like 90 for Eichel...i know it's early, but Eichel's got a lot going for him

my guess is they are the 3 best prospects since tavares


and I would rank them

mcdavid
eichel
matthews

in that order

Pretty much what the masses have been saying in most of the articles on the web.

god had more influence on helping mrs. clinton winning all 6 coin tosses monday than us getting pick #2 in the lottery

vanek was a 60-65 point player once he got paid


does eichel have the heart to be a great player, or go through the motions


does eichel have the discipline to be a team player, or do what kane is doing (see max, ennis)

will our coach allow jack to reach his full offensive potential



it will be fun to watch though

Weber would have been in the neutral zone still.

Yep, that's why he leads the Sabres in +/-

If your blaming him for some WTF knows why. then you can blame him for us not getting Mcdavid too

i'd answer yes to all of the above

or maybe i'm just star-struck

You clearly don't remember anything last year we almost missed out the last 10 games

Yep, that's why he leads the Sabres in +/-
- BuffaloHardHat

I think that has more to do with the fact that he's been getting limited ice time and the easier matchups. He's not out there against the other teams top line like Risto has been all season.

We have been drafting 3rd he helped us

Yep, that's why he leads the Sabres in +/-
- BuffaloHardHat

Because he is only put out there when the other team has no chance in hell of scoring a goal

I kid

He has been playing decent this season. But did take a penalty in the end of the other game that made him seem like the same ole Weber.

i'd answer yes to all of the above

it will be an interesting 16 months to see what develops

His Fault !! we should have drafted 1st

Or maybe you've read everything that all the scouts did, too, that tells us what the kids mental make up is like, and why he is a natural, and a hard-worker in addition to being a natural, and a leader, and humble, and all the other stuff that goes into making a strong bet and reasons to answer those questions "yes" as you did.

I blame God for what happened to General Solo

He got us Jack things happen for a reason I think he ultimately picked him for us

I blame god for letting that "pastor" take all my grandmother and my aunt's money in the fraud. And leaving my grandmother broke and wondering what she ever did to deserve it.

You never know he might be a Patriots fan maybe that's why we have jack mind blowing

It may have been covered already, but has anyone heard of any rumors regarding our players at the deadline? Is there even a hint of interests.
