sabills Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 LeBrun has some stuff on the Athletic about it, too, if you can get there.

While I agree with you in this case, let's not forget how we were all feeling in the months leading up to 7/1/07. It's not done until the ink is dry.

I recall people being fairly confident that would would end up with one of Drury or Briere. There was a huge thread debating which one you prefer, but I think we all expected at least one of them.

Black Sunday is pretty much irrelevant unless you like torturing yourself. I agree the parties and situations are different, but i'm saying we should caution ourselves from reading too much into the fluff coming from agents and the Sabres organization. Until a number is agreed upon and the extension is signed, both parties will generally have good things to say about the other in the media. Black Sunday has shaped a healthy skepticism for Buffalo sports that has served me well.

ddaryl Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 That goal he scored last night was just gorgeous. The way he opened his skates to circle around the defender on a wide angle then fire that shot to upper far side from a short angle. Yeah I hope he's on board being Eichel's line mate for years. Just so damn purrty 4

Jack and Jeff should stay together for the next 8 years. 17 minutes ago, New Scotland (NS) said: (I think they want to remove 23 from those two) Right.
dudacek Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 I am unreasonably confident this happens. Body language is so positive from both sides.
PerreaultForever Posted January 10, 2019 Report Posted January 10, 2019 If JBot signs him to a reasonable contract for a long term I will consider this season for him a total success regardless of whatever else happens or if he doesn't do another thing until the draft. 1
JJFIVEOH Posted January 10, 2019 Report Posted January 10, 2019 I'm guessing 8.75 mil for 8 years. Considering he's already getting close to 6 million, with Moulson's contract coming of next year, there won't be much of a loss. That's also including P-Ville's close to 6 million. Even if he re-signs, it won't be for close to 6 million. Might be a one or two year deal for 2 million per year. 1

Very good post otherwise. 1

Thank you. I think P-Ville would be a great veteran presence despite his declining stats. Ville was brought in to actually make a difference offensively..
