Carolina, Florida and Tampa are three really good teams, and by the end of Round 2, only one of the three will be left standing.

More excitement in one period than the entire Sabres season. 😞

I wouldn't use the word hate, but I'd like to consider myself the president, or at least a member of the cabinet, of the "Please Sell The Sabres Now" club.

I knew it! I knew they were meddling once again! 😈

I had my ear to the ground earlier, and I verified that the rumor is solid and verified by Jimmy Blacktop, Johnny Concrete and Joey Greengrass.

Tampa can kiss my ass, if Kucherov dresses for even one game. It's BS, and a loophole the that NHL needs to close. How ironic that he becomes healthy as soon as the regular season ended. I hope Florida sweeps them in 4 games.

I guess bringing up Melnyk will always make the Pegula's seem like decent owners. That is setting the bar pretty low.

I have become indifferent to everything about this team, from the owners, to the FO, to the coaches and the players, and have taken a wait and see approach to the off-season. That being said, even if Eichel, Reinhart, and Risto are all dealt, the playoffs should not be more than 2 years away if you have competent people in place at all levels. 10 year drought if Eichel is traded? That is laughable....and I know you tossed a "maybe" in at the end of your post. I stand firm...the best thing that could happen in the off-season, is if the Pegula's sold the team. They are an embarrassment to the NHL head honchos and their fellow owners....and any short term success they have had with the Bills means nothing when looking at what they have done to the Sabres franchise. Fan interest is at an all-time low.

Plop this decade of Pegula owned Sabres hockey in any other city, and the fanbase would be as angry/critical, if not worse.

What if Jack has asked for a trade, and an agreement has been made by agent, Jack, KA and Pegula to keep it out of the media, and deny request has been made? My point...don’t necessarily believe KA when he says Jack has not asked to be traded.

If this offer was made after the 19-20 season maybe the Kings would bite. Now? No way you are getting that return for a broken and disgruntled Eichel.

AHL caliber roster. Embarrassing for Team USA officials to even send that group over to play.

So few words...so very well stated! 👍

So there will be section(s) of the stadium for unvaccinated fans where they will be socially distanced? Here’s an idea...if you are unvaccinated, you don’t get in! This way you can put more fans in the stands. What has happened to the concept of common sense in this country? 😞

This thread has run its course. The original question was comparing an off-season where Eichel and Reinhart are traded to the off-season Richards and Carter were traded.

Actions speak louder than words. Today will be a lot of tap dancing. What Adams does over the next 3-4 months will be much more important.

I don’t really care about the opponent. I just want to take in a couple of games early, before they open up the border and move back to Toronto.

So you believe ticket prices are going to start at $300-$400?

I'm surprised they included some of Jack's more inflammatory quotes in this article posted on sabres.com. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-locker-clean-out-recap-jack-eichel-sam-reinhart/c-324552452

Any word on the time of Adams and Granato PC's tomorrow?

Yeah, I saw that. I'm just surprised no leaks have occurred regarding ticket prices.

....and then there is me. I am a "anybody but the Yankees" kind of fan. 😂 I liked the Cardinals as a kid in the 60's and 70's, but now, I'm just a baseball fan, usually just cheering for the underdog, or a team that has a player(s) that I am a fan of.

Ticket sales delayed another week. No mention of pricing yet.

Would moving Jack and Sam in the off-season, be as big or even bigger than the 2011 off-season when the Flyers moved both Richards and Carter?

Pretty comical that WGR Instigators had to sign off to move onto Bills talk. Do they believe that the fervor will calm down after 24 hours? 😂
