If it was all about Eichel, this would be a done deal. Eichel is a small part in this.

During practice one day Lindy looked over to my uncle's friend while they were on the ice and Lindy told him, " no matter where I put him (Leino) he still F$$KIN stinks".

Leino was definitely the stinkiest of the stank

He was Darcy's target all along, never had interest in Brad Richards.

Looking back the Richards signing wasn't too great either

I see a calming influence is needed.

fire both the gm's

Nope - as ive said, he can't come out and say he's not interested in Boston or he'll get killed by the media. Buffalo, Chi or pit and BUF is the favorite.
- turbo044

The Leafs have strong personal and organization draws presently. If we had gotten Babcock I believe the scales would tip to Buffalo, Boston is mired in trouble for the fore seeable future. I believe it will be Toronto or Buffalo, but give a strong edge to Toronto.

Agreed. I'm not sure I can handle another year of no expectations for either team.

You have a QB and a franchise center entering his 2nd year. Put up or shut up

I know nothing about the bills so Ill stay clear of that but Im torn on the sabres. On one hand Im inclined to give them more leniency because the team went through a scorched earth rebuild and it takes time....except they made a ton of moves shorten that timeline. I think you said it a few days ago actually....you don't make the o'reilly/kane/lehner trades to make the playoffs in 17/18. The moves they made, should be competing in that final year of Eichel and Reinhart ELCs.

I believe the Sabres will be good this year. In fact, they showed signs of being good last year.

Yup. If they don't make it this year, something is wrong. I think we are going to at least make the postseason

Nope - eichel is a big deal - you can trust me on that. He's waiting until after 8/15 to do his due diligence and to maintain his stance on doing such. Toronto will not be in the mix, commenting on another post. I suppose anything can change when he talks to teams but as of right now it sure looks good for Buffalo.

Is your source younger than 30 years old?

I'm not going to go back and fourth about it, you have your source and I have mine.

That's funny. Because it's exactly what you do, go back and forth with him everytime he brings it up.

He focuses more on trying to prove me wrong on everything, been doing it since he first posted. I don't have to prove myself to anyone on here. I can care less where Vesey signs. I hope his source is right but doesn't matter to me if we get Vesey or not.

Thanks and yes, younger than 30. I'm not trying to prove you wrong 89, as I do believe you've broken things in the past and do believe you have a source. I just comment when someone says something that doesn't make sense and I do that to everyone not just you. Now, on the other hand I do not believe 39 at all and never did.

I hope your source is correct , it's always good to have another poster that has info that actually posts on her everyday and not just show up 3 times a year and claims they have inside info. Not saying 39 is full of it but it looks strange when you only show up a couple times a year and then claim to have info.

So my calming technique failed. Hmmm...

And 39 has been saying weird things like chychrun was the pick, which I knew all along wasn't. He broke the tallinder trade I think and maybe the Kane one but has been erratic since. Btw, the trade for that Fla dman came out of nowhere - I never knew about it. Hope Fowler comes to fruition too - makes sense but I have no source on that

I don't discount your source, but I really believed he was going to wait until the 15th regardless. I don't think it means anything as to where he's going to sign. He knows he's already starting out behind the 8-ball by saying no to the Preds and that he was waiting until the 15th, then the trade to Buffalo and he reiterated the fact he was going to wait, so he's smart enough to stick and be a man of his word.

I know people have differing opinions on whether that's "right" or not, but it is what it is. Rob Ray was on GR last week and said if he was going to sign here he should've done it by now, or guys in the room will be annoyed, but you know what cures that? Playing well. And 8 months from now nobody will even remember if he's playing on the 2nd line and contributing on a nightly basis.

Especially when it's been wrong the last 5 times when it was "happening".

I'm surprised a player would even know anything that goes on in the front office. Every trade deadline you hear about a guy that found out he got traded while watching TSN.
