Hamilton:  Given any thought to being captain?

 

Eichel:  Whether you wear a letter or not, you can always be a leader.  Doesn't need to have a C or an A to be himself or to be a leader or to speak up when needed.  Up to the team and the coaching staff.


Unknown:  Is there going to be a captain this year?

 

JB:  We will not be announcing a captain to start the year.  Will continue to discuss with Phil.

 

Followup to Eichel:  Teammates are looking forward to the dinner they're going to have?

 

Eichel:  Guys usually aren't too modest with their orders but I'm glad to treat them...they make me a  better player and better person...

It's not his decision, so I'm glad that he's smart enough to dance around that one.

Yep. They threw it at him again, directly... dance dance dance do the Sabres dance.... good for him.

This facebook live feed is absolute garbage

Sure is.  Started off fine but has turned to crap.

 

Though I did find this persons comment hilarious:

 

 

Eichel is a great american hockey player but needs a top ranked canadian to bring him to the next level that not many reach

Yerdon:  How important was it for you to keep flexibility for the future for salaries?

 

Eichel:  Important for our team to be able to get other good players, deferred to JB and agent again.

Spectrum:  Everyone talks about the pressure, can you speak to how this will motivate you?

 

Eichel:  It's a huge motivator, it's humbling to know the organization believes in you.

"keep Kaner off the wine"  :unsure:

I'm now imagining Kane as a wine mom drinking rose out of a pimp cup bedazzled with live laugh love watching the Bachelorette in a snuggie

Some Frenchy:  Who was the first teammate to hear the news?

 

Eichel:  Got a few texts from teammates and a few nice messages; I was with McCabe and Reinhart having dinner and I walked out to take a call from Mr. Pegula and I walked back in and they started laughing and congratulating me.

Makes me wonder what the mood used to be like...

Loser mentality. 

Yeah I think that was an inside joke that didn't land with the media types in the room. Sounded like crickets.

They probably went out to dinner and Kane ordered some fancy expensive wine and now it's a running gag.

Exactly. If you're with a bunch of athlete-types and you order a sophisticated wine and start talking about "floral notes" or somesuch, you are going to get ribbed and they will remember.

I can see Evander being a wine guy. 

especially if it's sparkling wine... I could see a tame-ish dinner and then Kane ordering magnums of like Ace of Spades or getting a bunch of Dom...

lol, I feel like Kane is a fancy red wine guy. I could see him ordering bottles of Dom though.

I can see Kane being the guy who equates price with quality.

 

--Signed, guy who knows that the best bottle in the liquor store is usually about $30.
