There is a quote in an articel today that says
"Eichel has no desire to sign a contract extension this summer if Bylsma remains the coach."

I'd say we are pretty much there.
- ImThatGuy

WHEN YOU SIT JACK ON A PP YOU SHOULD BE FIRED.

The "35 year olds" have also actually been to the playoffs as NHL'ers and have a much better idea of what a good coach is than Jack Eichel.


....but obviously Eichel is 1,000,000x as important as Bylsma or the vets so
- sbroads24

He is. I don't know what else to tell you.

Unless there is that much of an issue with the coach.

Bylsma had reportedly the same issues in Pittsburgh.
Coach a terribly under performing USA team.

This is Eichels team, regardless if you like that or not. If he thinks the coach is bad for this team, then the coach goes. Simple as that.

Regardless of what the stench is, it needs to be fixed.

I like that it's Eichel's team. I also think Eichel might have some growing up to do.

Is he going to be a part of interviewing new coaches? Is their any chain of command in the organization?

He is. I don't know what else to tell you.
- BeadyEyedDouche

Right!!


People...get it through your think (frank)ing skulls...THIS IS JACK EICHEL'S TEAM.

It should be an interesting meeting. If only I could be a fly on the wall...

I do know they talked, murry and pegula, about 6 weeks ago

murray tried the patience line and pegula snapped back rochester is also well behind expectations


for what it's worth

He is. I don't know what else to tell you.
- BeadyEyedDouche

I know he is. Doesn't make him right.

Murray brought up some things to Pegula when he was hired that haven't happened as of yet, those things will be mentioned. I do not know what they are.

special teams don't matter in today's game

Right!!

Would anybody not be surprised if he was there...

All start players give input, not just in Buffalo.

This seems like a very easy decision from my POV.

So... Eichel is the smartest guy in the organization, eh?

I know he is. Doesn't make him right.
- sbroads24

Sometimes when you aren't right, you also aren't wrong.

Not everything is about right or wrong.

We need a VP of hockey ops that Murray can work with, someone with experience.

So... Eichel is the smartest guy in the organization, eh?
- BINGO!

- BINGO!

regardless of the whats going on right now this statement may actually be true.

duds says hello, I still live in lewiston

I guess it will all depend on what Murray tells Pegula when they have there face to face, he better have all his cards in order I was told.
- SABRES 89

And if he doesn't...?

I like to think that if/when we make the playoffs, and are up 2-1 against a powerhouse team that all of us here will have better stuff to do than go on the Leaf's thread and stir crap.

(But I really doubt we all won't)

Enjoy your ride and let us grovel over here, please.
- LandlordTom

I imagine with how much the Leafs fan have been trolled over the years, the Internet will be a no go zone should they ever win a Cup.

All start players give input, not just in Buffalo.

This seems like a very easy decision from my POV.
- ImThatGuy

*Input*

Not control over who his bosses are.

Seriously, if they are firing Bylsma, fine. Good riddance.

But does Eichel now hire the new coach instead of the freaking GM or owner? You realize how silly this all looks, right?

Disco Dan is brutal.

- SABRES 89

we need a P of hockey ops who murray can't override and cite 5 year old examples from his days in ottawa.

Disco Dan is brutal.
- BINGO!

and we gave up a 3rd round pick for this a$$hole

Eichel taking heat because he's pissed and wants to win but most here have been complaining for years we don't have anyone like that. Now we do and people are complaining about him.

I like that it's Eichel's team. I also think Eichel might have some growing up to do.

First there's no one after GMTM with any hockey experience..

On bolded... I get he's young but no matter how displeased he is, your body language goes a long way and you need your guy to stand in the flames when needed not roll your eyes and give one word answers
