i love this line:

"A further point of concern is that our camp was initially under the impression that the Sabres specialist was in agreement with the Artificial Disc Replacement surgery until that was no longer the case."

just what gave them the "impression" that the sabres doctor was ok with this?
- Michael Pachla

Because Jack said I want it and he's never been told No by the org...



Sorry, couldn't resist.

article about Kravtsov, He failed to make the Rangers' NHL roster out of training camp, sulked about being sent to AHL Hartford, decided to go back to Russia to play in the KHL, struggled there for about a month-and-a-half, and ultimately returned to the AHL.
- Therat36

This is so wrong

He had a great year in the KHL and then joined the rangers for the end of last season and was more impressive down the stretch than Kakko and Lafreniere were all season.

Too early to tell I guess, but he was considered the #1 prospect not in the NHL a year or so ago

Are you sure that's Jack?


At least he's still wearing a Sabres sweater. Could you imagine if he were wearing another team's? We'd lose our stuff.

If those type of offers are what’s on the table…….

He remains a Sabre.

Like it or not.

Rangers beat writer mentioned it, he’s as solid as Bob McKenzie when it comes to rangers reports.

https://nypost.com/2021/0...ver-filip-chytil-signing/

There is a strong sense that Chytil would necessarily be included in a package going the other way in a hypothetical deal for Eichel, because the Sabres need a center in return and all that. But one individual with some knowledge of the proceedings told The Post on Thursday that the latest entreaty includes Vitali Kravtsov, Zac Jones, Alexandar Georgiev and a first-rounder, but not Chytil.

Can you just go to your own board you're very annoying.

He's not going to rangers you can go now

unless ownership is telling him to hold firm
- Michael Pachla

This is what I'm hoping for. It's easier to play chicken when the owners say we got your back.


But they said that to JB and told the fans we're dumb and then 6 weeks later.......

This is demonstrably false.

Wow, called out by Gerbe.

If you do that to me, I'm stopping and looking in the mirror.

Ok no problem. Sorry man, didn’t mean to be annoying.

Enjoy the weekend fellas.

They are trying to not look like the bad guys, but anyone with any sort of brain can see it makes them look foolish and Jack childish, which also could lower the return.

They thought Adams was going to just lay down and be a pushover...he called their bluff.

He might not be making friends with Jack's agent, but this is a huge education to the rest of the GMs in the league that Adams is not going to be taken to school like that infant Jeff Carson...

He doesn't have the pick...I do
- Stripes77

In the meantime NHL lineups are setting and the market for Jack has shrunk. Somewhere between the ridiculous ask by Adams and the low ball offers by teams is the deal so just franking make it and move on!If you think the Sabres are helping themselves by dragging this through the dirt you're wrong!!!!!

I’d almost be willing to bet he gets moved and magically the neck is all better.
- dadeadhead

This is where I am as well.

If you need this surgery, you're sure as hell not playing pick up hockey

So JE and his agents are calling the Sabres' medical staff or doctor a flat out liar... wow that is never a good look.

Just no way no how he can be anywhere near this team when the season starts or even camp. There would simply be a complete circus and not one other question asked everyday and second ...except for what is up with Jack.

Man I feel bad for Sabre fan.

reed the quote:

"our camp was initially under the impression that the Sabres specialist was in agreement with the Artificial Disc Replacement surgery"

"under the impression" makes it look like the sabres dr. lied...however one would think that an agent would know for sure one way or the other instead of speculating

For a team that wants, needs and has a great shot of drafting Shane Wright, you want this situation over ASAP.

This is so wrong

He had a great year in the KHL and then joined the rangers for the end of last season and was more impressive down the stretch than Kakko and Lafreniere were all season.

- rangerdanger94

No he was not and it is not wrong, maybe you need to read more about him as a prospect 🤣🤣 he was never a top 10 prospect..

- gerbe75pts

We tried this with you by sending you to Garths threads………


It didn’t work.


How ya been bud?

Is there any reason why the Sabres cannot advise Eichel and his agent that they can proceed immediately with the surgery of his choice?

Once the surgery has been completed the situation can be reevaluated (after Christmas).

After the surgery, teams will want to see evidence that there is not continuing long term damage.

Sometimes the best way to short circuit a fraud is to let it play out knowing the fraudster counts on your trying to overcome the threat rather than play into it.

This is demonstrably false.

it'll be over by the 2022 draft

I'm sorry, but as much as you're pumping up the return above, that's not going to do it, and I wouldn't accept that if I'm Adams.

Also, Kravtsov being labeled as untouchable is funny.

The Sabres would need something like Chytil, Scheider, the 22 1st, and whatever makes the cap work.

If you can't make the above work, the Sabres move to another team.
- kingcong39

Seems like a reasonable return for a guy who has yet to have his vertebrae replaced with artificial ones. LMFAO

Ummmm

That was before his recent season in the KHL and return to the rangers

Trade him to Arizona along w salary dump okopso for 2022 and 2023 unprotected first rd picks.

Make the competition stronger
In the process Jack’s reps can type up a thank you letter for helping speed the process instead of due diligence w the Rangers Wild etc 😂

The Sabres want nothing to do with any surgery Eichel has, hence another reason why he'll be traded sooner rather than later.
