Jeanbe Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I'm happy to get Jack. He is bigger and won't be moved off the puck like McDavid and has we have seen with Sam. We win this one. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Well I think we know the lottery wasn't fixed. Why would the NHL want McDavid to fall into the black hole of hockey? Quote
spndnchz Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 He refuses to sign with Edmonton and gets traded to... Quote
kas23 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 EDM, first pick in 4/6 years. It's just not fair. Quote
Marvelo Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Bank on it: Buffalo never wins it all. Quote
Neo Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Well, I'm very happy with two. But, man, Edmonton. If you're picking first 4 out of 6, there's something wrong. McDavid looked less than thrilled. Quote
Jeanbe Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 McDavid was acting like someone killed his dog. agree Quote
Nitro60 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 The kid looked bummed. His only hope is to hold out and force a trade. Exiled to Edmonton....sucks. Quote
smj Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 That's okay. We'll get the American and at least McDavid didn't go to someone in our conference. I think Eichel will have a chip on his shoulder and will always have a reason to work harder to prove he should have been number one. Sometimes that isn't a bad thing. Eichel is also bigger and stronger which is important in today's league. This is Buffalo...you knew we'd get the second pick anyway. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Bank on it: Buffalo never wins it all. Like clockwork Quote
Taro T Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 So, does this mean every single forward on their team, not named Roy, is a top 2 selection? At least he's not going to TO or Filly. EICHEL!!!!! Quote
eman Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 And this is why you don't tank. Jack Eichel had better be the next Modano. You are never guaranteed the #1pick. NEVER!!!!!!!!!! By the way, when is Mike Babcock coming again? Yes the Sabres have loads of young talent but I do feel this "rebuild" will now take considerably longer then expected. In Jack we trust!!!! I still do not believe Babcock sets foot in Buffalo so start looking for another coach whose last name isn't Bylsma. Calling Luke Richardson! I hope this all pans out Sabre fans or we are in for years of more pain. Not my way of building but I am no GM. I prefer the Habs, Wings, Bruins way of building. Quote
North Buffalo Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 McDavid was acting like someone killed his dog. So could he refuse to sign with Edmonton Quote
Buffalo Wings Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Eichel isn't a bad guy to settle for Quote
The Jokeman Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 That's okay. We'll get the American and at least McDavid didn't go to someone in our conference. I think Eichel will have a chip on his shoulder and will always have a reason to work harder to prove he should have been number one. Sometimes that isn't a bad thing. Eichel is also bigger and stronger which is important in today's league. This is Buffalo...you knew we'd get the second pick anyway. What if Edmonton stuns the hockey world and trades the pick? As they really don't need another forward. Doubtful they'd pass on McDavid but you never know. Quote
TheMatrix31 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Well I think we know the lottery wasn't fixed. Why would the NHL want McDavid to fall into the black hole of hockey? Weird, considering they've had so many top picks. Quote
smj Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I'm happy to get Jack. He is bigger and won't be moved off the puck like McDavid and has we have seen with Sam. We win this one. Good point. Eichel might be a better fit with Sam as he is more of a different player. Let the US-Canadian rivalry begin! Quote
JujuFish Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I'd rather the Laughs have won it than Edmonton. Seriously. 3 consecutive #1 picks, and then a 3rd overall last year. Screw them. Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 So could he refuse to sign with Edmonton sure but he wont. Quote

This is EXACTLY why we did tank this year! Quote
bunomatic Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Thats the way the cookie crumbles. Jack Eichel it is . There's no looking back. Forward with Eichel. This kid is going to look great in a Sabres jersey and will help transform this team into a contender. Quote
nobody Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 And Mike Babcock thinks 'well maybe staying in Detroit isn't so bad' Quote
pastajoe Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Oilers will probably try to trade a forward for D. There should be a rule that you can't have the 1st pick more than once every 5 years. Quote
