Do you want to ruin every single young player in this organization have a disgruntled Jack Eichel in the locker room next year - ImThatGuy
The more I watch Hockey the more I am convinced young guys don't get ruined. They either are good or they aren't. Eichel can show up and take pressure of Middelstadt and Cozens and let them play in the 2 and 3 slots like they belong. Or he can sit and not travel with the team.
I am of the belief now that the Hockey Gods are wreaking terrible vengeance on this organization for the McDavid/Eichel "lost season." Not only did they see to it that BUF would lose the lottery to end all lotteries (in itself a terrible punishment considering the difference between those 2) but decided to culminate their wicked and divine justice with the team losing the very player that all of this was for in the first place.
That's what I tell myself anyway, that once Eichel is gone things will magically get better. But I'm just a (frank)ing sucker. Maybe they will switch to MTL for that draft pick now, a guy can hope. - Pingleheimer
You create your own luck.
Edmonton and Buffalo still suck because they have had the worst ownership and management teams for the past decade.

Counterpoint Don’t run a completely inapt organization - ImThatGuy
There is blood on the hands of all parties involved here. Sabres ran a terrible org but Eichel shoulders blame in this situation too. How much goes to which party can of course be debated.

Of course, I just tell myself what I said so that sleep comes quicker when I cry into the pillow at night. Or purge violently into the toilet after one too many bourbons.

It's truly astonishing how far this team has fallen, when you really think on it for a while. - Pingleheimer
Up until the Pegulas, they actually had only missed the playoffs like 6 or 7 times in their 40 years of existence. And had an all-time winning % just below .600.
They didn't fall, they died on the operating table.
