So just don’t even pick up the phone and listen? I will never agree with that.
- TheHank


What's there to listen to? What's a realistic offer you would accept? If it's not McDavid, what are we really talking about?

Worst wings i ever had were in Detroit
That’s about halfway, right?

Maybe if we’re hating on the wings then we will forget about bickering with each other!

That’s not the point. Now you’re adding the word “realistic” to the equation. You can always just say no afterwards.

Come a little further west, the wings get worse by the mile.

Agreed. My one quick take on this: pretty sure jack will put up more than 2 points in a 7 game playoff series. Pretty sure.
- TheHank


It’ll be interesting to see how the playoffs play out over the next 10 or so years
Especially since it looks like us & the Leafs will meet quite a bit

To what end are fielding calls on Jack Eichel? What are you hoping to gain? An elite 1C is the pinnacle franchise cornerstone. Everything revolves around that

You’re simply missing the point. It’s ok. I’m not arguing against not trading him.
I never said field, I said listen. Very different animals.

jack is a morph of matthews and mcdavid IMO


mattews is by far the best goal scorer
mcdavid has the best vision and speed


eichel is probably the second best skater, shooter and has the second best ice vision of the 3


I think jack has grown more this season, the others may have peaked already in their game



it's splitting hairs when ranking the 3 and today I know how I would rank them

of course that could change and the jack I see this year, has shrunk the gap quite a bit



if the sabres make the playoffs and advance, I would probably change the ranking in my head next season, as I am an open minded person

- homiedclown



This post is spot on, its why you can't really compare the three players. they all bring something a little bit different, they are all three great players. Exciting because we have one on our team!

In that case, my AGM can screen the calls

"We have a call on Eichel"

"Is it for McDavid?"

"No"

"Hang up"

How about in a week or 2 or February or march?

But not the playoffs or when we are in 4th overall in the NHL.

Just a couple other options

- Boss34


Should be done before the trade deadline
But yeah, it doesn’t have to be this week or anything

I forget sometimes that it's beginning to look like we're a lock for the post season. This is crazy.

It's a joke...

Sorry if it went a bit over the head there, thought it was obvious sarcasm.

Edit: Anyone who talks ill of Eichel deserves that response.

- RhinoFan

No I get it. I’m just saying in general, I feel like these are things people think we say about Sam

LOL

I think I get what Hank is saying. Eichel is close to an auto hang up as you get. Still, I field all calls even simply to know what other GMs are thinking. I mean if Colorado was offering Rantanen, MacKinnon and a 1st for Eichel, you take it...

They won't, just saying, it's best to listen, then hang up. I think both of you agree, the call ends quickly lol.

"Reinhart needs to bring something to the top line"

"Reinhart needs to score goals"

"Reinhart is the biggest #2 bust of all time"

"Swap Pomminville with Reinhart and the production won't change"

It would take me time, but I could find these. I only know these for sure because I have made them locations at various points.

I get where you are coming from that critique isn't hate. To be honest, I don't think your thoughts on Reinhart are that far off. He's inconsistent and everyone wishes we had a bit more speed from our 1RW. I don't think that's hate, same way as I don't think homie calling AM better is hate.

The things above are what I call hate. I think they come up a lot more than the MLEWs of the world that blindly hate on Eichel. Reinhart is the new RoR whipping boy to me.

He's saying we will listen you what you have to offer for anyone. Not Jack Eichel is available huge difference.

what if St Louis offered you 6 first round picks(starting with this years), +Vladimir Tarasenko+Colton Parayko for Jack?

If you don’t then you’re not doing your job.
If you trade a guy like that for less you’re not doing a good job.
Enough.

Which are not things that would actually be offered. Homie's was a bit more plausible, but that's a quick no from me

I never said bust but he is no Barkov, Eichel, or Laine. I think we can agree on that. Pominville has also produced on that top line and I think reinhart is the better player of the two and could bring more to the second line so that was my reasoning for that.
