Eichel 2 goals and playing hurt is still viewed as a top 5 Center by some around here... Thomas did only play 9 games, and was limited or missed time in like 4 of those. Is your issue that Thomas is above Diggs or that he’s there at all?
- SDSabre


Diggs had a top 5 wr season in buffalo Bill's history.
Possibly the best season ever.
Allen still his qb

Other dude sucked
Flat out terrible
Now winston is his qb

That part. Diggs had the best receiving year in the NFL last year and he's outranked by a guy with 500 yards and 1 touchdown?

Its a Cody Franson take

- Hank Balling



Same age and Thomas stats are almost the same as diggs, some better playing 16 less games. I have no issue putting either ahead of each other. They are both elite

I mean, statistically diggs has had one better season. One. And again, calling Thomas a 500 Yard one touchdown guy is disingenuous.

Ya. Again the ducks aren’t giving all that up. I don’t need to “know that” no team is doing that.


Would you give up Cozens, our #1, Dahlin and our 2022 1st for Draisaitl. Because that’s what your asking the ducks to do. You can argue that Dahlin is better than Drysdale and I’ll comeback that Leon is better than Jack (he is).

You are gonna be upset when jack is traded when you are expecting four top 10 picks, with two of them developed already

- Fattony1187


We’ll see what happens
Your arrogance thinking you know what’s gonna happen is obnoxious- NONE OF US KNOW

And none of us are GMs trying to save their jobs either

Also….
why would u even care a tiny be whether or not I’m gonna be upset with the return we get???

Just go back to not talking to me dude
This is just a waste of time

Arrogance? For saying the ducks would laugh at trading their two best prospects and two other top 10 picks for one guy?

You keep responding to me. You are the one with issues (with everyone)

Sucked is harsh, seeing as he played 7 regular season games, some hurt, and still put up 450 yards. Diggs does it again (not all of it again, but just a really good season) he vault up the list.

Is it the injury that makes you feel like the Sabres are going to get an underwhelming return for eichel?

I generally with you 95% of the time, you're making me nervous ☝️

Eichel was in the same breath as McDavid before this season

1 touchdown sucks. 450 yards is well below expectations for a top paid wr in the nfl.

Maybe I should say thomas "sucked" last season.

I've always kinda liked him.

I saw his attack, this is another excellent daily reminder of how clever you are to see his wickedness.

For sure. I just don’t think discrediting what he’s done his whole career over one injury plagued season is right. That’s why I don’t think Eichel’s value is any lower.

It's a hot take hidden behind a curtain of numbers-based pseudo intellectualism.

1 TD and 500 yards Thomas is ahead of Diggs?


- Hank Balling

If personally put Diggs over Thomas, but Thomas is great and both of these guys have careers longer than one year

We should all be nervous. That ducks trade was pretty crazy. No one should be expecting that.

Fair enough on this point

I still think it's ridiculous based off the last season

Imo they’re both close. And as broads said, a case can be made for either and most here would choose diggs, I just don’t think it’s over egregious and would be incredibly reactionary to say, without doubt, that diggs is better. Luckily we’ll get to see them play it out. Think both guys will be great tbh the rest of their careers

Carolina has tons of prospects. They should go for Eichel.

So going into next year,
you wouldn’t have Eichel in your top100 then….
right?

I hope they can get a 1st and a prime prospect (Drysdale, Zegras, Dach, etc.) Worried that KA won't be able to pull that off.

If he can't then you don't make a deal. Someone will as their job will depend on it.

At what point are all these goals a bad omen for the Lightning ?

Can’t use up all of your goals tonight.

- Pegullaville


That was a total beat down of epic porportions.
If Barzal gets a game (unlikely, but) which the door is open for with a 5 min major game ...
and having Tampa poop all over both goalies and then stuck their noses in it
My goodness, Trotz may want to have Yhe Trots himself as an excuse
