Sold it, guy made me an offer and it was to good to pass up. Going for a 68-70 Charger or a 68-70 Coronet.

Doesn't matter. You don't deal an asset that valuable until you hear all offers. Nearly half the league is ineligible to make such an offer.

1. I don't want to trade him to a team in the east
2. The only team in the west that is in the playoffs and has the assets we might desire is Minnesota.

Who would have thought a golf grudge would be the most interesting thing in 2021

Although, if Eichel ended up in St.Louis where his BFF ROR is the El Capitan would be endlessly hilarious.

That would help if it hits the ceiling, especially with Josh

So dumb. I can almost guarantee the Sabres would be paying him to win multiple Stanley Cups for the Blues.

I know it's fake. Just sayin

- Hank Balling

Eh. The Blues are bad though and pretty old. I actually wouldn’t mind that destination but you better get Thomas and Kyrou + +

Thomas doesn't impress me. Although someone said he may have been hurt this season, he had a bad year.

Like Kyrou, though.

Prefer it be w Minny, Anahiem or LA.

The Sabres would be stupid to trade Jack Eichel until the season is over. Too many teams still in it that could put together an offer.

Exactly. There will be lots of offers

Probably not, but their picks are devalued given how late it is and will be next season. I guess I want you get guys who had another year or 2 of development completed.

The ironic part is Thompson is probably a similar caliber player to Thomas. Kyrou is a stud though

Dunn + Kyrou + 2022 1st are three pretty decent pieces but it wouldn’t be my preferred destination

Good Blog here Hank...you're hitting it out of the park!

-Objective: Win multiple Stanley Cups, be a contender every season

-Vision: Play an inspired, exciting, up-tempo brand of hockey focused on puck possession and relentless, two-way game to maximize the opportunity for wins

-Strategy: Attract, develop, retain the best talent in every position in Hockey Operations, including both on-ice and front-office personnel. Leverage financial and other organizational resources to optimize thought leadership within and across operational departments

- Tactics: Keep Ownership informed, yet distanced with respect to all non-strstegic decisions. Yadda, yadda, yadda

With respect to hiring the Coach, he/she falls into the Strategy category, therefore should have a style that supports the Vision.

Thanks. The substance of the vision is secondary to me. Actually having a vision is the part we need.

"We want players who want to be here" is not a plan

It's a reaction to negativity caused by the lack of a plan.

They need to stop being reactionary and start being proactive. That can't happen until they outline a plan. If they have an actual plan, they have no interest in sharing it with fans which is friggin infuriating.
