Yes good job, you typed out a couple facts with a sprinkle of opinion. What I am saying is you can talk about scouts and drafts and this and that but I dont really care. I care about that player being on the ice making a difference. Connor Mcdavid played a half season. Eich played 81 games and had more points. So what I am trying to say is that, yes maybe Mcdavid was pegged as "the next one" but until he plays a full season and scores insane amounts of points like you claim he will, I am more than happy with Jack Eichel being the franchise center who brings a cup to Buffalo.

You mean a guy with Eichel as his avatar couldn't possibly stomach that McDavid is better?

Shocker.

But you said you try to check your homer bias...

Gerbe's stop...

no it's true

edit: this argument started over a post saying Benn and Seguin are as good if not better than Eich will be. Had nothing to do with Mcdavid originally.
- ASU_Sabres14

It actually started by asking if we could score as much as them. Which we won't this year IMO. Because they have 2 guys close to Eichel (They are better than Eichel today)

no it's true
- GERBE!!!75PTS

It is not true first of all.

Second of all there's a place to get into that...it's not here.

Third of all you could say the same thing if Hillary wins and then I would have you look at my first point.

Eichel will be the best player in the league by 26yrs old
- ASU_Sabres14

Probably not.

They're both morons but Trump is the biggest of them all I don't support racism and he does... I don't support banning people when they didn't do anything wrong and he does...

There's no real winner here but at least there won't be a war the second he hits office

This is exactly what I am talking about. Better is an opinion unless you have stats. Maybe mcdavid has tons more skill than Eich, im not arguing that. Im saying ill take the guy who very obviously showed in year one he is ready for the NHL. Mcdavid could have 150pts in 65 games but if his team loses the other 17 then who cares? Individual accomplishments are nice but I (previously referred to as homer) only want a Cup in Buffalo. Mcdavid can win ten hart trophies for all I care but Im confident Eichel can bring the cup home.

McDavid is better than Eichel. It is not an opinion, last year proved it to be factual.

Don't really care that much for the Dallas is better than Buffalo debate because at this point they are, but anyone who doesn't think Dallas has a Defenseman as good as Risto should look up John Klingberg's stats from last year. Damn near played himself into the Norris Trophy Running.

Except they both are not. One is actually incredibly smart.

You can argue whether they are good candidates or not, but saying they are on the same playing field in terms of intelligence is a false equivalency

Not according to HIS OPINION...

I think Reinhart will be an absolute stud. He's a guy you have to watch a lot to really understand how good he is. He makes plays so easily and must have eyes in the back of his head. After that you have ROR who I would take over Spezza everyday of the week. Who says Dallas is the model franchise either? I dont see a Risto on their team.

Klingberg > Risto

I think you need to do a little homework on this stuff.

Just watch his goals again, just silly.

Both graduated from Ivy league schools

But it depends on your definition of smart haha

You're going to regret that decision

He has much to learn.

He watches the news for his education is my guess.

I like the kid I really do but he has much to learn.

The real winner is me, when I don't have to listen to you anymore

Not according to HIS OPINION...
- Stripes77

You're totally correct. In my opinion its more valuable to have a player play an entire season rather than half.

- Stripes77

He has stated nothing but a personal opinion, yet mocks your facts you posted??

He's another 20 something that's warped, he's clueless.

You're totally correct. In my opinion its more valuable to have a player play an entire season rather than half.
- ASU_Sabres14

Valuable yes but that doesn't answer who the better player is...

Which again was what we were talking about.

Moving on now

You're totally correct. In my opinion its more valuable to have a player play an entire season rather than half.
- ASU_Sabres14

Well you would have to factor in the opportunity cost of the player that is being inserted into the lineup when McDavid is out.

The real winner is me, when I don't have to listen to you anymore

There is no winner we all lose
