“Some Fans on Message-boards Shocked that Sabres Aren’t Competitive This Season”

Teams aren't going to put conditional prospects up in a deal. It will have to be picks with conditions on them.

As long as a high end young Centre is involved then all the picks involved can have conditions.

The fact that the NHL, NHLPA, Sabres and Jack’s camp all got together and had a meeting and nothing was resolved tells me this lies at Jack’s feet. The NHLPA would be very loud in their defence of Jack if they felt the Sabres were railroading him here.

“Sabres beat Maple Leafs Again, Toronto Media ENRAGED”

As an aside, I would love the Devils to draft Jack Hughes this year for no other reason then the torment of announcers trying to navigate two Jack Hughes and a Luke Hughes in the lineup.😂

And it sends the wrong message to the team. This guy that says he has to look out for himself, doesn’t want to be on the team, had his agent trying to force a trade publicly, refuses the surgery the doctors approve is still your captain and leader. Wow

A lot of skilled centres to choose from. Wright is the prize though. Kind of a super version of Cozens. Natural born leader, plays the right way, tremendous shot. He is much more skilled then Cozens but I do see some similarities in the leadership/way he carries himself aspect of his makeup.

What were they going to do, keep it a secret? Eichel has put himself in this mess, there is no need to placate him at this point.

Listening to Granato is such a breath of fresh air. He seems direct, authentic and passionate, never trying to B.S. or make it about himself. I think he is the right guy to get through this mess.

How could anyone think Jack still wants to be here. He had his agent out in the media trying to speed up a trade. He refuses the surgery the doctors are approving as the safe solution. Having that guy as your captain would be a disaster. It was the right move to strip him of it and let him sit at home and pout until a trade is made.

When do we hear the results? I thought we would hear by now. For sure tomorrow when he isn’t on the ice.

And when he said no?

I hope they put him in net on day 1 of camp just to watch people’s heads explode.😜

For those that wanted 6-8 year deals, what would be the price point you would have offered that Dahlin would have accepted?

A few people have, saying they would welcome his toughness back. It was only a couple though.

https://mobile.twitter.com/SportsLawLust/status/1440667032291188747 it is Never Ending with this clown. And some people wanted him back.🤮

Dahlin was really blossoming under Granato last season and couldn’t afford to miss anytime to start camp. There was no benefit to Dahlin to sign a max year deal now. The team is in turmoil, 3 years let’s him see where the ship is heading.

Are they going to stream Eichel’s physical live on Sabres.com?😜

I apologize then.😀

What are you mumbling about “do better”? You started a thread and have had to explain and re explain it because you couldn’t get your points across in the the initial post. Jack had to can his agent so let’s not put everything on Adams doorstep. If Jack wanted a good relationship with the team he would have had the surgery the doctors approved and be rehabbing already. Until we know what trade offers other teams put forth or specific details of the back and forth has gone between the Sabres and Jack’s camp then we can’t say Adams has botched it.

Adams has handled this well. Bending over for a prima Donna player and moving him for pennies on the dollar is botching the deal. If he traded Jack for the ROR return you would be on here complaining about him being incompetent. Why don’t you lay out your plan of how you would have handled this including how you convinced other GMs to agree to your hypothetical trade.

Yeah, but if you watch the video the player with Kisakov is Nikonov , a different player. That is why I wondered who he is.

No, it is Nikonov, I just didn’t know if he was a prospect up for this draft or something.
