Shmuffalo Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 Go ahead and have the surgery, and make the contract voidable. John can afford it. 2

Who is this release supposed to answer to pressure the Sabres? Sabres fans? Directly to Sabres fans I presume. Otherwise, they could’ve just sent a nasty email to Kevyn. There’s no other reason to release a public statement than to engage the public. 3

If it goes bad that’s the worst case scenario. Best case he gets the surgery, recovers and carries on a long career.

Brawndo Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 8 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: That statement just wreaks of over-reaction to Adams comments. It stinks of entitled "you said this and we are unhappy so I will force my way out". At this point, don't trade him. Hell, I'd call his agent and tell him he wont be traded now because that statement killed possible interest and torpedoed offers and I would end it with "nice going you dumb *****." When Adams mentioned they Were in Control of the Process, He meant relative to other teams it wasn’t a shot against Eichel, stupid ***** agents 7

They were in control of the trade process and didn't have to make a move just because another team made an offer.
I-90 W Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 I know a lot of guys on here will defend Jack no matter what (or so it seems), but it’s stuff like this why so many of us are fed up with him. The man is selfish. His camp couldn’t be quiet and just let it play out? He is demanding a trade more or less, knowing that his trade value is at an all time low. I don’t think he cares about us as fans. Like at all. He’s done some admirable work for charities in the area which I will never take away from him, but this guy doesn’t care about the team that drafted him and it’s rather obvious. It is what it is I guess. 2
sabremike Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 OK after that he can go straight to hell. When he comes back he deserves the Pajama Boy treatment times 10. And the thing that hurts the most is that I defended this guy from vicious attacks and in the end they were 100% correct. For that game bring Patty Kaletta out of retirement, he'll know what to do. 2
sweetlou Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 I hope they move on from Eichel sooner rather than later. To me he seems like he abides by his own rules and doesn't care about the team... He is very lackluster in his defensive responsibilities. I've never really fallen in love with his game and it didn't help that this video was one of my first impressions I ever had of him.
kas23 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) What an odd time to release this statement. Friday nights are usually prime time to release news you want people to miss or ignore. I’m thinking the only reason to release right now is that it will anger drunk Sabres fans. Maybe they really want to turn the fans against them, so we’re the ones demanding the trade get done.

In their opinion of course. I think this was almost the entire point of the statement. 1

For Adams, it’s himself vs the league’s other GMs. For Eichel’s camp, it’s themselves vs Adams. This is really a pointless statement. I don’t see it helping to facilitate a trade, and I don’t see it winning any public sympathy.

This statement is for the fans and media. They probably could not have, though. The Sabres would have to permit those conversations to take place. I think there’s a good chance the Sabres are not letting that happen and that’s the “process” they’re talking about. They’re not letting other teams in on Eichel’s medical information so this was their quickest way to get it out to everyone. BEFORE you say there are reports the Sabres will allow teams to see his medicals if talks get serious: yes, but those same reporters have noted they don’t know of any teams that have seen them.
I-90 W Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 I seriously think Jack is a head case at this point. It was obvious, at least to me, that KA comments about being in control and not feeling any pressure was in regard to other GMs not offering enough. Jack’s camp seemed to take that as a shot across the bow against him? Why are they responding when it wasn’t addressed to him? Because he is a head case, that’s why. 2
Flashsabre Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 I have been to 4 different Sabres sites to see what fans reaction to the statement is. It has unanimously gone over like a lead balloon. Jack has zero love from the fan base after this stunt. 1

This is certainly one narrative you could come up with (as is mine or any other). But I don’t believe this is what’s happening here, at all.

I think Adams was saying he didn't feel pressured by other teams to give Eichel away and Eichel's camp overreacted to it. 4

They definitely could get that information to other teams. In fact this isn’t even new information. Was it not reported by Friedman (I think?) weeks ago that John Eichel’s camp was saying he should be ready to go 3 months after surgery?
Hoss Posted July 31, 2021 Report Posted July 31, 2021 Jack and his agents have zero reason to want to endear themselves to Sabres fans. If you think that’s what is going on here I think you should read it and reconsider. 1
