Got some Cannoli's from Angelo's today, Wow they were pretty damn good. Hopefully Grannie doesn't strike me down for not making them myself.

Eichel was also pushed on us as a "blue-collar, working-class player" who was "perfect for Buffalo". God I hate that crap.

First of all, gtfoh with that blue-collar crap like we need more of it shoved down our throats in Buffalo, second, he is decidedly NOT working-class, FFS. I hate that narrative so friggin' much.

I like they added Rizzo, bee nice to keep him.

I’m a Cubs fan. Read a little about the prospects in the Rizzo deal. But not much. Some outlets say they’re both gonna be all stars, some say both don’t even sniff the majors…. Know anything about them?

Eichel went to a powerhouse college hockey program, Allen went to Wyoming after a stint in junior college after receiving no scholarship offers.

Allen's had to work for it and prove everyone wrong, Eichel hasn't.

- Wetbandit1


Allen could buy Eichel roughly 3.2 times over. Which is about right considering their personalities.

Eichel's that boy who came from a humble background who always thought he was elite. Allen never gave a (frank) about being elite at anything except his work.

Blue collar is hard and humble and that's what our city is about.

My point is, that's not where Eichel comes from nor is it what he's about.

I know what the (frank) blue-collar is for Christ's sake lol

Bruh it is. His dad was something like a factory floor boss and his mom was a nurse. That's not exactly peasant money but it's not rich either. Eichel chose his own god forsaken path. Now he can ride it out with our rebuilding team until he comes back and swallows his pride and gets himself traded for what he's worth?

I'm talking in circles now but I'd rather just him gtfo of this org and town and ply his trade elsewhere. And I hope they send us a first and name him captain same year but maybe I'm just getting greedy

Nice frame job from Higashioka.

Dominant game from Cole.

Skinner, Okposo, Mittelstadt, Cozens, Asplund, Thompson, Bjork, Girgensons, Olofsson, and Hinostroza make 10 forwards. Assuming Caggiula is the 13th forward only leaves 2 forward openings when Eichel is gone.

The total cap hit of the above is only $29M.

Add that to the $2M in goal and let's estimate $20M for the defense, and you have $51M or so with a cap floor of $60.2M.

Lots of work to do just to make the cap floor.

- kingcong39


Quinn?
Routsalainen?
Cap dumps from other teams?

I’m sure we’ll figure it out somehow

Eichel is for Eichel there is no doubt about that, I was told he thinks he's the best and greatest.

Sounds a lot like Jim Kelly in his hay day
No big deal

Yeah Higs is pretty good at that. Nice game for Cole, looked like he lost some weight with being sick.

Kelly didn’t win sh!t either
Also…
he had a much better supporting cast then Eichel does

And I wasn’t comparing their accomplishments anyways,
just their d!ckish attitudes

Won some AFC Championships. Eichel can't even win best in the division. Know what you're getting at but Jack will never mature here. Or ever IMO.
