Maybe but I respect it more than the Dahlin is dumb thread, A lot of frustration taken out on the kid there. Some of the regular posters that I respected a lot through out the years lost mine just in that thread alone. The personal attacks in that thread that have nothing to do with hockey is just shameful. If I was a moderator it would have been deleted already.

Thompson will be a great 3C for us if we are lucky.

Yes because he still is an 80 point player. No because his off ice issues / no because he was a leader on the team during the cover up / no because I don't want to pay the price it would cost us to trade for him.

Lol stinker 🙂

Obnoxious thread title causes thread that makes me want to 🤢

ffs

nice

He checked out long before his injury that is clear now. But the media portraying like its sabres management that is the evil in all of this.

Now put him in between Peterka and Quinn and see the magic happen 🙂

I remember most on this board didn't want to retain salary at all.

Nah not at all , In 5 years you could be paying a player 2.5 mill to score against you in the stanley cup final. Not the same as a one time bonus.

What happens to his playing level when he avoids contact all together.

I always said I wanted more in return for Jack Eichel than what Colorado got for Duchene. Duchene got - Sam Girard / 1st round pick (byram / 28th pick in 2017 Bowers / Kamenev (think he is in KHL) / 2nd round pick NAS / 3rd round pick OTT / Goalie Hammond as throw in Jack Eichel got us - 2022 1st (byram) / Tuch (Girard) / Krebs (Bowers) / 2nd pick / and we send a 3rd round pick away. In what world is Jack worth less than Duchene though ? I would have liked an extra piece 2024 1st rounder or something. Not wanting to retain salary might have reduced what we got, but you don't want to be paying Jack 5 years from now still. But what I really think made the offers much less is the surgery, there is no doubt in my mind most of our possible trading partners agreed with buffalo team doctors and we were probably down to 2 teams willing to do the ADR. The flames rumour about Tkachuck might have made the knights blink and make the deal.

The return might not be so great, but we also have to think that Eichel might not play another 10 games in the NHL if the surgery goes bad.

Somehow this hurts me less than the Reinhart trade.

We better not be retaining salary with such a low return tbh.

Does the money even work with only Tuch coming back ?

Zadorov the same guy that said Buffalo doesn't like Russians ?

las vegas first to arizona then ?

I know, but he is their best shot at having one in the future. And they do lack centers , trading krebs while eichel recovers might kill their season.

I think part of Vegas not wanting to deal krebs, is they don't have a 1C. Starting to wonder if a deal is made where Eichel gets the surgery now while being a sabre and gets traded when returning to play so Vegas gets their 1C and can trade krebs.

He is a good player, I wish he would remain a sabre for his hockey alone. We all know he is gone though and the locker room seems better of for it.

Jack brought out the best in skinner, but in time Skinner is more happy playing without jack ? Just a feeling I had since last year, to be honest I just want skinner to get 20 goals for the next 7 seasons and I'm good. Some might not see it but he loves the game but ***** he has some bad luck. I rarely see a guy hit the goal post 2-3 times in a game, but with him it just happens.

Didn't watch the game, we might have stolen 2 points, but when I see stats and still have 29 shots on goal. All the teams playing their back ups against might not last though 🙂

yey 50 more pages 😛
