It's obvious to many that Jack Eichel is a selfish hockey player. He takes too long of shifts, doesn't backcheck properly, and the other players resent his special treatment. He either needs to grow up, or we keep losing.

No, Eichel has issues. I was talking with my uncle's friend on the Sabres Friday night in warm ups and Eichel came by and was yelling at Lazar and through a fit when he broke 2 sticks in warm up. Eichel won't acknowledge fans or most people. He's the captain and face of this team.

Simple things like greeting sabres staff , acknowledging people as humans.

His bike buddy too to some degree

I think you know we don't have the same opinion most of the time, but I have a very difficult time disagreeing with the above.

Yeah we don't but there are only a few who agree with me so it's a small club. We'll see if the GM is sick of being out of the playoffs by March see what he does about it.

If my "team lead" at work was constantly yelling at me, shove-offish, throwing temper-tantrums and generally not pleasant to be around, I might not want to work very hard for him.

Just saying.

If he allowed you make more than you should I bet you would.

Michael Jordan is quite possibly the greatest athlete of all-time are you actually serious right now? MICHAEL JORDAN? Did you just compare Jack Eichel to Michael Jordan?

It's literally Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps and everyone else.

Jack Eichel won't even be considered a top-100 all-time hockey player when his career is over.
- BeadyEyedDouche

Wasn't it you that said earlier we should trade him for a "huge haul to set this franchise up" or some sh!t, yet now this?

So you need a couple grizzled vets to guide the kid? Kinda like Sid had with Mario, Billy G and Recci? Sid grew under that leadership.

Jacks never had any of that. It was friction with Ryan wanting to be the man. well, nothing since and handed the C without learning the other side of it.

What’s the answer now?
- Gr8daygo

He wears 17 and we traded for him a week ago.

Hutton blows. All of our d corps blow.

Is Simmonds talent? Serious question at this point of his career.
- kingcong39

I think he can slot in as a 3rw. Play up or down with injury. Or draw in and out of the lineup with cozens. He’s clearly some of the sandpaper we need...

Thanks McCabe! Keep him on the 1pk Ralph! He. Looks. GREAT!!!

Ok, then, who gives a sh!t if people like him?

Gretzky was and still is a major douche. Crosby is a douche. Most elite players are egomaniacs.

Eichel's play on the ice is all that matters.

Case in point? Hutton is FANTASTIC in the dressing room. Should we keep him?

Touched a nerve with you didn't I , F Eichel

He's an excellent hockey player but he's a long ways off from being a top-100 hockey player all-time.

But no, I didn't say that. Go back a read again. It was under the premise that we miss the playoffs next year and he asks for a trade.

But I bet he says hello to the guy behind the glass at security every day

We should keep "Hutts". Great guy.

Dude came in here with a throbbing butt-hole, all he had to do was fart and we were gonna get attitude form him.

I don't need another man to earn my money for me.

Feel sorry for us. 2 obvious penalties not call on us.

Eichel will be on many Hart ballots at the end of the year. Is the guy an ass ? Most likely. However you don’t move a top 10 player in the NHL at the age of 23 just because he has an ego.

Eichel doesn't say hello to staffers and you idiots are ready to run him out of town?

That's more (frank)ing laughable than ANYTHING Botterill has done in 3 years here.

That I agree with. Just gotta surround him with a strong locker room. Balance the ego out.

How on earth did Jordan's Bulls teams win all the titles with the epic bumhole Jordan was?
- kingcong39

I've heard stories about Crosby too, and they don't seem to have much trouble. He's got 3 rings.

My god, you need to pick up a book on reading comprehension... Although that might be redundant.

Never mind.

The lack of a 2nd line and a number 1 goalie is this team's downfall.

Not Jack Eichel.

Eichel couldn't sniff Crosby's jock-strap.

Never said anything about running him out of town, read more before you reply to people.
