I am going to miss the great group they have there. Now I want to say how excited I am to be a part of the Buffalo Sabres organization. Being from Upstate NY, it’s been a dream of mine to put on the Sabres jersey. Thank you Buffalo and I can’t wait to get started!

Tuch, Olofsson, Skinner, Quinn, JJ depending where he slots, maybe Cozens shifts to the wing if Casey and the newly found center Tage can handle it

Is Quinn playing wing or center for the Amercs so far?

Krebs looks like a worker bee. Decent shot, elevates it in tight pretty well. Anyone have the fancy graphs?

Fixed for accuracy

No, he had it right the first time, it sucks. The fact that it's among the "best" deals for a star player in the cap era is an indictment on the GMs, not the players.

Someone shared them elsewhere and I saw them, they were blue and not close to the axis, so good I guess?

How do you not trade this Cry-Baby failure when he first demands it? Oh my God we could have gotten a king's ransom for this clown.

no, but if they had the best offer on the table, just completely ignoring it is a massive oversight.

GET OVER IT. Why worry about what could have been? Keep thinking that and it will bury you.

Because players request trades all the time. The Jets waited 4 years to trade Kane despite the fact he asked for a trade every year after they left Atlanta.

Also, how in the (frank) is he a failure?

On one hand, I'm glad the debacle is over. On the other hand, part of me will always resent the Sabres for this. Being the same age as Eichel, I felt even more invested and attached to the player. Couldn't have been more excited when they drafted him. Expected to watch him blossom into a superstar, lead the team to the promised land, and become a local legend. Obviously, inept ownership, management, and coaching put a wrench in those plans, and years of failure soured the relationship beyond repair.

Hurts to see it end this way - I just don't think I'll ever be able to get as excited about a player again after watching my 2 of my all-time favorites, ROR and Eichel, leave in such a disheartening manner.

F T&KP, F GMTM, F GMJB, and F Ralphy. I can't even be mad if/when Jack hoists the cup.

First time im going to have to tell my 6 year old that his favorite player has been traded and will never play for Buffalo again. Going to be a hard talk

I'm too lazy to link the Buffalo Sabres standings the last six seasons, but you get the point. And, the guy making 10 million dollars in a capped sport takes some of the blame.
