Well I guess overall it's a good day when more people are more upset about the return from the Boychuk trade than the Eichel trade

Eichel asked for a trade before they signed Hall...confirmed by Eichel in his interview with TSN
- Stripes77

Hall: "Hey Jack Can't wait to play with ya."

Jack: "I already requested a trade. Play like crap and we'll be outta here in no time"

Hall ".......Deal."

This implies that there was a return from the Boychuk "trade"

(I kid, kinda)

I thought trades couldn't happen without a piece going each way?

I can't say that I blame him. If I am him and I hear that they are going to take a step back (on top of the fact this franchise has been a train wreck since it was purchased) I'd want out as well.

Vogl said Eichel was going to do a media tour today regardless if a trade happened or not...there was that external pressure

same here ..... last year though. they had no excuses to suck with the roster they had.

From Hall staal to everyone they brought in. They shouldve been atleast competitive.

I think Eichel having not played in a game in almost a year is the main reason for this

We all should be honest

This is a joke of a return for a 25 year old superstar

I don't think it had a chance under Ralph's system. Staal and Hall clearly mailed it in after the first 2 weeks once they saw what was up. Also, Jack was reported to have some kind of hernia for the last 2 years that they hadn't been able to fix. Anyway.... water under the bridge.

I am really excited for all the eichel dirt to come out now .......


89 gerbe .... etc


spill the beans on whats being said POST eichel


i am sure stories are coming or will be said on twitter.

You do know he requires surgery right?

Yes. I also know that’s a big reason why the return sucks

What’s helped the Sabres and the optics of this is them dragging this out for months and months

Literally go back to the draft and read what we thought we could get for him.

Compare that to now and it’s laughable

Eichel will get his surgery of choice and then score 45 goals and 110 points a season for the next decade on Vegas and then the reality will settle in that the Sabres could’ve just let him get his surgery and kept him as a Sabre for life and that this return was a massive GMKA L

4 first round picks or the equivalent is what KA was asking for. I expected a return like that.

We got great prospect, a solid player, a 1st and a 2nd.

It isn't far off.

I don't like we gave away a pick tho. That part doesn't make sense to me.

Eichel asked for a trade two off seasons ago

He wasn't going to be a Sabre after this season even if he was healthy
