Yes he did. I still wonder why he signed a 10 year deal.

I don't blame Eichel at all. The team has shown nothing but ineptitude since he was drafted. Who would've thought in 2015 that that would be the best season with Eichel?

Sure as hell didn’t mind Dry F@cking the Organization when he had the chance.

Yes it is, and that's what he wanted and signed.

It kills me, but I can't support this anymore. This is supposed to be fun. Everyone has their breaking point, and I've met mine, provided they don't get a legit 1C in return, and I'm not holding my breath. I want nothing more than to be wrong about it, and I will make "I was wrong" as my location if it does happen.

I think the only reason I stayed a Bills fan was because they never had a superstar during the drought, so I never expected much. But you absolutely can not trade a superstar like Eichel for spare parts, you just can't do it. You might get lucky like Boston did when they got rid of Thornton and Seguin, but they're the exception that proves the rule.

I appreciate this post

Almost all of seat neighbors are really down on the Sabres. Completely discussed.

Someone like byfield. laferierre, dach, petterson would be enjoyable. Or wright I guess?

Lol.
All that matters to the fans is money.

Eichel can make the money anywhere it ain’t about that.

This organization is (frank)ing incompetent and I blame no player for not wanting to be here.

If Dahlin, Cozens and the rest came out tomorrow and said get me out of here I wouldn’t blame them in the slightest.

The “we know more than you Pegulas” are a disaster ownership.

Never said ownership wasn't a mess, and it isn't about money, it's about honoring something you signed and agreed too. Eichel isn't the first athlete that has been on bad teams.

Botterill was epically bad but if you take Reinhart at fade value this current GM signed him to a 1 year deal too.

Me thinks this is a cop out for Reinhart

See, this is why I am not the most popular person in the Toxic Sabres Twitter because I think the players should be held accountable too. They are not infallible and I am so sick of hearing everyone just suck them off repeatedly like they have never had any heroes in their lives or something and they are led by the lame website and podcast, WGR media who help guide them along in their thoughts.

Yes, the Pegulas have tossed good money after bad, had at one time one of if not the largest scouting depts in the league but they just could not hire a GM to save their lives who then could not hire a coach. But, the players are the ones who fly the chartered flights, get the paychecks and are on the ice so they have SOME accountability too. I don't remember the Bills 2-14 years ever it all falling on Ralph, some but not all.

He did nail some draft picks I hope anyway. He improved totally terrible drafting to maybe a C- or C+

At least 1 publication gave the Sabres an "A".

I'm waiting for the CFR:
Canadian Fitz Report, before I pass judgement on the draft. Pretty sure the 7th pick is the best player 🤔

Why are we signing Ullmark if we're planning on being bad next year? Just sign a vet or two and be done with it.

It's the McBeane "keep our own" model.


Well, except for the really good players

I see McCabe in Chicago.

Ullmark is fine. He will be out more than he is in anyways.

Maybe they aren't trying to be bad next year. If you want to change the losing culture in the locker room and on the ice, you have to give these kids a shot at atleast trying to win.
