Well what can we really do, it's not like we can go burn down Harbor Center.
- Buff36

Nothing, just enjoy the show. We don't have to burn it down, Kim will do it herself.

Hypothetically, couldn't Eichel get the surgery and dare the Sabres to call his bluff and invalidate the contract?

Perfect storm

Eichel wants out and Dolan wants major change. Time to make a deal with the Rangers and have them pay up BIG time. Dolan wont let Drury miss this one.

Love that most of them still being hungover helped today’s truth bombs coming out. You can thank Okposo for hosting

- jcragcrumple

the one thing that smells about all of this is he has a right to seek a 2nd opinion and br ing it to an arbitrator none of which has happened

so idk, he either communicated it poorly or is just kind of using this as a bargaining chip since thats all the leverage he would have

Best offer I can give from the Flyers perspective:

2021 1st
2022 1st
Voracek
Frost
Myers
- Glak18

That’s just not gonna be enough to get Eichel
At least it better not be

Bill Karlsson and Alex Tuch for Eichel.

I guess they can thrown in Ryan Reeves to make the others happy.

All players too old though.
- ImThatGuy

I don't think you understand what a rebuild is.

This will just sink us in 3 years aka vanek years

Or the organization shouldnt be full of F**** Idiots and let the player make what he feels is his best interest.

The Sabres management and owners get no benefit, they are all garbage.
- ImThatGuy

Not trying to argue that at all, but that’s beside the point that he should also be pissed at his agent.

Trading our 24 year old center to be replaced by a guy that will be 29 next year and will test Free agency or sign a guy that will be 29 for 8 -9 million for 7 years into his 30 's

How about Adrian Kempe from LA kings
As part of eichel trade
Playing left wing there can move to center

- jcragcrumple

I just can't fathom why they wouldn't let him have Surgery if that is the best way to fix the problem. I mean the more time to heal the better, recovery and training wise to make sure you have him ready to play next year, or even if you are considering trading him, again you want him back on the ice this offseason. Your gonna get more offers in the offseason then you are in season or trade deadline. It just doesn't make sense, it's seems more like posturing by Eichel just in case.

There's a lot of intriguing pieces with the kings im fine with them

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on the internet, but I have heard that if fusion is the remedy for this ailment, it will limit his neck mobility permanently. I assume the Sabres are worried about that

NMC aside,

If Seattle offers their first for Eichel and Skinner, do you say yes?

It allows the Sabres to just start over. I feel like this team desperately needs a hard reset
- jcragcrumple

Jesus man, what?

Absolutely never.

If I had choice la be the team
Lots of good young prospect's

Why does it have to be a rebuild and not a re-tool.

Jesus man, what?

Absolutely never.

They need a blue chip prospect + a great prospect + a roster player + a first

It would probably take all of that from our end just to move skinner.

- sbroads24

I’d rather have another 1st than a roster player
And the 1sts we want should be in 22 & 23,
not this year

Hurt neck on a guy with $10 million per coming his way. A guy who looked real average with his hurt neck in the games he played this year.

I think the return gets smaller by the minute as GMs soberly evaluate Jack Eichle's value in a trade.

There'll be some suffering before this gets better.

Skinner isn’t movable
Ppl should let that go

2021 1st, 2022/2023 1st, Laff, Georg/Sherk, Fox, Chytil/Miller,

2 first and 4 good prospects... idk if that does it.
- DirtyDan

the Rangers will not come close to this, nor should they. I am not a fan of either team but can tell you honestly this is ridiculous and if this is your sincere hope, of course you are going to be greatly disappointed. Fox, might be the Norris winner this year, he is not a prospect, right now he is worth more than Dahlin.

-one of Laf OR Kakko ( not both )
-1rst round 2021, 2nd rounder 2022
-Schneider
-Georgiev

this is realistic

I would insist that whoever you trade Eichel to, they take Skinner too.

Both to NYR for Laf and Chytil and their 2022 first.

Reset our cap. Tank one more year and be loaded with young talent from our high pick this year, next year and NYR pick.

I would keep Sam. We will have ton of cap space.

Beniers
Cozens
Mitts
Chytil as your centers

Quinn, Laf, Aspland, Tage, Oloffson, Sam as your wings. Fill in with all your draft picks.

We can do that without using Jack to get rid of bad contracts
I agree with Sbroads here
That would be a terrible idea

Agree. But they take skinner too
