Not sure there is a trade to be had. There is a goalie shortage and we are like the team in musical chairs that got caught standing when the music stopped. Unless there is a goalie in the Eichel Trade (if that ever happens) not sure we get one that way.

So has the Sabres goaltending situation. Coincidence?

Seems like a great guy.

My understanding is that UPL was not very good in Rochester, is that right? Or was he just recovering from an injury and that hurt him? He is one hope for the season not being lost yet.

This situation is really depressing. Good young team with no real goaltending. Maybe the Eichel deal-if it ever happens— snags us a real goaltender. Maybe in training camp something shakes lose on another team and we get a decent goaltender. But right now we are looking at another disaster season coming.

Probably won’t play back to back games

I think the team is fine. They have forwards that can score, the defense is a work in progress but with talent. But, the goaltending will make this all a moot point. They can play great and the goalie gives up a softy or two and they loose but fans will blame the coach, Dahlin, VO will be too soft, and all that. Holding out hope that a goaltender who can play is part of any Eichel deal.

This use to be on a lot

He won a playoff game this year. Game won against the Bruins for the Capitals. It wasn’t the whole game though, he relieved the starter

I thought maybe Okposo and Girgs. He would do well with their forecheck. Get a lot of opportunities

Lol, so many different pressure points with all that money!

Liability issues with them....

Say he just goes and does it. It totally screws him up and he never plays again. Would the Sabres sue him for loss of assets? Maybe that’s what he is afraid of.

But wouldn’t they want to wait? So a trade could be worked out if he is ll better?

That’s a good point.

Jack’s own agent is against the disk replacement, but Jack is for it. Not sure how this is going to end.

The real question is, will Jack get the surgery? Looks like Sabres are against it, as is Jack’s agent, but he wants it and knows the doctor who wants to do it. If he doesn’t heal, what will happen on that front?

It was named on an Opposite Day and just stuck, maybe?

Does Pysyk like cats?

So Jack’s agent disagrees with him? http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/doctor-makes-case-for-sabres-jack-eichel-having-disc-replacement-surgery/

Do you remember President Nixon? And the bills we had to pay?

Which is good. Sorry for being a Debbie Downer. I liked your earlier post about the fact he probably isn't going anywhere soon. So I was actually defending you against yourself, lol

Again, why would other team buy a horse with a broken leg?

So did Jack want out before the injury? Or was it because of the injury and the Sabres stance on surgery? Oops. Sorry
