Absolute proof? Don't have that. Circumstantial evidence? Plenty. First, it's a given reporters work agents for scoops. And agents use reporters to float stories to help their clients. Then look at the lean of those stories. 100% positive for Eichel. Third, how many of those scoops panned out? None.

Going to disagree on this. 95% of the news on Eichel the last year has come from his agents

I don't want to lose to the expansion team that Jason Botterill now works for.

That corner ref has been the Sharks best defender tonight.

Sabres were determined to keep turning the pick over

Between Calgary and Vegas. "On the one-yard line."

Eichel development after the break??

I think I'll watch this in Spanish.

They frontloaded a bunch. Here's the remaining schedule: Nov. 12 against Edmonton Dec. 7 against Anaheim Feb. 1 at Las Vegas March 4 at Minnesota April 5 against Carolina April 7 at Carolina. Then 2 exclusive on TNT: March 13 The Heritage Classic against Toronto March 23 against Pittsburgh.

This is an ESPN+ exclusive game. No MSG.

Money means what exactly here? Retention of salary? Cap dump contracts? Liability if the worst result happens?

... while we're young.

Down by his knees. Hence the nickname I didn't see this.

I think they are tired. And other teams are starting to game plan for them. Maybe Donnie needs to tone down practice some to keep them fresh. That said, they still generated chances to score in the third. Hopefully Mitts is back soon. Not panic mode yet.

They seem to be losing that edge. Are they tired or are teams figuring out how to play the Sabres?

Okposo used to be a scorer for the Isles. He was worth his deal based on that.

We have talent. We just had coaches that wasted it.

The Sabres have been very good on the PK.

MIght be in TNT

People forget that surgery doesn't solve anything. Teams could still doubt Eichel's recovery and lower their offers accordingly.

We complain about KA being inexperienced yet us fans don't have the stomach for a tough negotiation.

Never? He's just reporting what Brisson tells him.

I posted elsewhere, the defense is a big reason why the goaltending is better. Mind you, both keepers are making crucial saves. But they don't have to stand on their heads for 60+ minutes a game like before.

You know what's funny? Before the season nobody was supposed to be worse than us.
