it's rare a non UFA gets offered that in an open market

I mean, Jones did.. his comparable, not mine.

How do you know with 100% certainty the return at the deadline is better than the return we got from Florida ?

Please enlighten me.
- Pegullaville

might up being a 2nd rounder and a mid-six winger

Young kids stepping up, Abreu has been good to.
- Buff36

As has Loáisiga and Ridings. Good, young arms.

Players are worth what others are willing to give up for them.

Skinner isn’t worth $72M either but here we are.

Sam’s worth was a 1st round pick and Devon Levi.

Live with it.
- Pegullaville

then don't move him til the deadline

problem is adams went public saying only guys that want to be here will be here

so expect a bad return on eichel before the puck drops this fall

Hopefully not, hold the line. That’s all I got.

he would have received more in an open market though


just like reinhart

Yeah, we will hate having to replace SAm's goals, no doubt, but it will be a piece of cake replacing his lack of speed, lack of physicality, lack of leadership, and his whopping 15 assists...and his crappy attitude. Heck, if we can teach literally anyone else on the team how to tip shots generated by other players, we've already replaced half of Sam's goals.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way, if this RHD market holds, glad we aren’t gonna be paying Risto 8 per. Also interested in Joki’s next deal

Yeah, that 6'5 power forward has played one *almost* full season in 7 years and has missed more than 15 games in 3 seasons.

Seems like Reinhart is more durable, more productive, and tougher.

"Hockey guys" aren't really smart though
- sbroads24

Sam's durability is definitely a huge plus.

Slow smallish wingers that ride on pp points and eichel really aren't wanted that much apparently.

Sam would have gotten more if he were as good as you think he is.

Mental organism couldn't jam sam far enough down his throat without chewing.

Sammers are blind.

bridge deal 2.6 per

- LandlordTom

I wonder if Buchnevich for Reinhart was discussed between Drury and KA

Sammers are blind.
- Boss34

same can be said for the eichelers and ristoers


team sucked with all 3

The Adam's statement about wanting players who want to be in buffalo is a great "fan" statement.

Easiest way to explain the trades and the returns.

Hey, sorry, but he didnt want to sign, what could I do?
Its them not me.

But, I'm not a sucker, and I'll prove it by letting eichel rot.

Yep, this and his shooting percentage jumped to 20% last year when his career average is like 12-13%. The facilitator of this debate was wrong about Tyler Mylers, the value of Risto, the awesomeness of Jeff Skinner and so who is surprised he is on the wrong side of the fence of this debate? It's cute though.

I cant believe we agree on almost everything today.

Although I'm a ristoer and happy with the return.
Cant pay him 7 million on the next deal

Enough losing with this group.



Eichel is going to bring back a great return.
Nhl GM's life expectancy is only a few years.
It's a matter of time before one steps up and gives away young players and the future for now...

Tdl after proven his health at the Olympics.
Keep 3 million
Love the return after tank4

I think a lot of sabres fans feel this way
