Pegula-land did a great job at painting Eichel in a horrible light, when from everything hes heard, is the exact opposite.

In his earlier presser, he said nothing but good things about Jack...

This isn't true at all. Adams hasn't said a bad word about him.

Listening back to the interview with Brian Blessing.....

Vegas didn't make a trade for Karlsson because they didn't want to give up Cody Glass. They then turn around and give up a bag of beans for Mark Stone.

I don't think the comment was attributed to Adams. He has certainly taken the high road in all of this.

Or ownership. They haven't uttered one word about him.

And fans are idiots, so don't know what the point of the NRD tweet was.

Hmm what to say.

A bad day for sabres fans overall. A great player that was a fan favourite is leaving town, and it was ugly.

That is never a good trade.

But we knew that was coming, so now we can only measure how well we did in the return. For many many months we heard that 3-4 first round level assets was an absurd asking price. That no one was offering their best prospect. And Adams held out. He got his three first rounders (Tuch is easily worth a first when healthy), he got the elite prospect from the other organization, and he didn't retain any salary which might be the difference in adding a 5mil player 2 years from now. He hit on every note.

Think about this fun thought: You need three good centres to compete in this league. The sabres only need three of Cozens, Quinn, Mittelstadt, Thompson, Krebs, and Asplund to work out to be strong down the middle.

Funny during the Adams Zoom, and when Benigni asked about Calgary, and Adams was denying it, it almost looked like he was smirking wanted to let out a little giggle.

I agree. Who knows what happens behind closed doors, but I just felt like Eichel was never happy in Buffalo. Maybe its his personality?

Good post. My concern going forward is that we will have a metric crap ton of middle 6 forwards and we will end up looking for elite talent in 2 or 3 years.

To be fair, ownership hasn't said a thing about the team in general once things went south a few years ago

Not happy with the return but we weren't winning with Jack Eichel

Would have liked to see a proven young player in there too.

I think he made enough money to drink at least average scotch the rest of his days.
