Jack would do everything himself like he always does .

Hes just a third line energy player

So you don't think playing with Nolan and Larsson would affect Eichel's stats at all?

I think Antipin and Baptiste were the two Sabres who were mismanaged the worst. Very hard to evaluate either of their performance because of lack of playing time. And when they did play, they played with scrubs.

Baptiste has wheels, size and he rode shotgun for McDavid in Erie. Good enough for me. Put him on the 3rd line with EROD and Bailey and watch them fly.

First of all jack is elite he can do basically everything himself with bums so you can’t compare the two

Shouldn’t Baptiste Play his ass off and then the sabres say wow he shouldn’t be there ..

name me one time where you said ok this guy deserves to be moved up ?

You know how many times Jack has set up a goal on a platter for some of these scrubs? And they either whiff it, or miss an open net. Even elite players are affected by scrub line mates.

Hockey is all about chemistry, more than any other sport IMO. You get 3 guys on a line that click, its dangerous.

Do they believe Girgensons and Pommer are first line players? is Wilson a second line player? All these guys played in the wrong positions

They wanted Dahlin. We stealth tanked for Dahlin. You can't put a guy like Baptiste with Eichel because if chemistry erupts, how do you break them up and justify it? we didn't need to be winning meaningless games late in the year and wind up picking 5-9.

They Obviously work hard in the weight room or practice

You have to earn your spot he just obviously hasn’t shown that to the Sabres

It bothers me. If "stealth tank" means flat out bad, then yeah, I guess we stealth tanked.

To suggest anyone in this organization purposely lost like Murray did is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous to not even consider that the Sabres lost on purpose, to have the best shot at drafting a once in 40 year defensive prospect. Why wouldn't they?

Our ownership has proven that they do not mind tanking

You just said he has to earn it, then i point out he scored 2 goals in 13 mins, and he plays 11 minutes the next night? did he not work hard enough?

So which is it: is he worse than Girgensons, or did he not earn it by scoring twice from the 4th line?
