Connor McDavid isn’t making the Sabres a playoff team man, hate to break it to you
- ClaudeFather


Agreed. That organization is a poop show. However, it doesn’t mean that Eichel has “the guy” DNA in him.

The phillies organization is garbage too. But Harper doesn’t have the DNA either.

They don’t exude “bring guys together” “leader” personality. And it shows in big moments.

McDavid doesn’t get Buffalo into playoffs but he puts up 100 points & makes Jeff Skinner (who is a good player) look good not how Eichel has ruined his career. Eichel doesn’t even have a PPG average of 1 for his career. I don’t know how someone “so sick” a top 10 center in the league doesn’t have a PPG average. Overrated.

I wasn’t talking about Sanheim. I was talking about Myers. I’m totally fine with trading Sanheim instead.

Another wonderful Hextall pick. Guess I have to give him credit for Farabee.

If it isn’t apparent, I really like Myers. I think he’s going to be really really good. Just needs to keep working.

Sanheim is a good player

I don't agree with what you state in Carolina. He wants to re-sign there. Carolina just doesn't want to pay him what he's asking for. I think Carolina is playing it like see what's out there and then come back to us and we'll see what we can do.

No it's not. A 1st round pick could be 2-3 years out. They want NHL ready assets as the main part of the deal by all reports.
- MJL

Hmm, they will have #5, #13, #24, and whatever number Tampa comes in at.

Wonder if that’s enough ammunition to move up for an immediate impact player. At the very least it cheaply rebuilds their entire farm. Four first round picks.

I think we need to look at him as he moves into his prime, he will get better than he is now and he is a top 4 D now. Yes, I would trade him for the right return and situation.

What? He's had a PPG for last 2/3 years. He has basically been short by never more than 4 points(ignoring his rookie season) playing on one of the worst teams in the NHL. The biggest reason he doesnt have a PPG career is because his rookie season was far off of a PPG

You’re just that typical guy who believes whatever he hears. If someone says Eichel is good then he he to be good cuz you heard it before. He could be a minus 100. Only score two goals but still be good.

You’re still strong on Patrick has potential? The guy bagging my groceries today had potential back in the day & he ended up bagging groceries.

Speaking of Patrick it’s been noted how horrible he was this past year. Easily the worst forward in the NHL & he managed to score more goals than “superstar”Eichel. Yes, Buffalo was garbage & he did not play as many games as Patrick but Eichel is far far far above Patrick talent wise & he couldn’t out score a guy who all thw hopeful defenders are saying he missed two seasons. Brutal

He didnt just play more games than Eichel, he doubled him. Patrick had 4 goals and 9 points in 52 games. Eichel has 2 Goals and 18 points in 21 games. Not really comparable at all

None of that supports that they will accept a a 1st round pick as the top asset in the deal.

Skinner 40 goals as eichel winger. Squat when soccer coach removed him. Olofson led league in pp goals when eichel healthy. Eichel injured olofson fell off a cliff. Nuff said

To get one must give. It is not like the Flyers roster is overflowing with talent/contracts that other teams would like to acquire

How it started:

Lindblom - Couturier - Konecny
Farabee - Giroux - Hayes
JVR - Patrick - Voracek
Raffl - Laughton - Kubel

Provorov - Braun
Sanheim - Myers
Gustaffson - Hagg


how it ended:

Giroux - Couturier - Konecny
JVR - Laughton - Voracek
Farabee - Hayes - Allison
Lindblom - Patrick - NAK

Provorov - Sanheim
Ghost - Myers
York - Braun

Sanheim is an RFA and we have two more seasons of ghost so..I'd like to see what ghost can do healthy with a somewhat decent defensive core. But if they want to keep putting square pegs in round holes..

I'd like to see two RHD acquired this off season. Hamilton and one of Savard, Risto, Larson, Manson.

LHD of Provo, Sanheim and York/Morin
RHD of Hamilton, Larson and Myers

They'd need to do some serious cap moves though.

I'll be surprised if Morin makes the Flyer roster.
