So if most of you are over 60, you’ve seen better. We’ve had teams without an Eichel that were better. 

Sorry you're not making sense. Or you're trolling. Seventeen posts.......hmmmm

Holy ineptitude

[TgeekB]

Oh well. Outclassed by quite a bit. 
It will take time for some of the young talent to mature. Next year won’t be too much better but perhaps close to making playoffs? Only time will tell.

If NY was smart they’d take another penalty and make the Sabres play 6-3 again 

What were saying abot 6-3?

[Nitro60]

Lack of hustle.  Giving up an empty net goal  while on the PP is brutal

[Norcal]

They had a good go at it, maybe next time

Nothing personal but you keep deflecting. I’m not saying I’m right or trying argue but facts are facts. 

But by this logic the Oilers should move McDavid. They’ve made the playoffs with him what, once?

You're not arguing facts and I'm not deflecting. 

You're arguing an opinion, that the team hasn't done anything since Eichel has been here because Eichel. I disagree with that. 

We've all watched the last decade, there's nothing to deflect. Blaming the best player though stinks of ROR and how he was shipped out.

Ahh, the troll word. Used when a new member comes to a board with regulars who don’t like a different perspective, right? 
 

Again, reality is reality. We all want them to succeed. We may differ on how to get there but we’re just fans, not NHL GM’s. Reacting with “troll” or “not making sense” implies you’re not able to have a lively discussion with different opinions. 

[Hoss]

If anyone is following the standings and hoping at least for the consolation prize of a higher draft pick: the Devils just gave up two goals in 22 seconds while up 3-1 late in a game against the Flyers. They’re headed to overtime.

[Nitro60]

Going into next season the Sabres have to address the PP and PK.  Those units cost them games this year.  One of several areas that need improvement.

Incorrect so listen closer.

Ive not blamed Eichel, only pointed out, truthfully, that they’ve done nothing (over multiple seasons) with him. If you want to continue down that road, so be it. I’m bringing up an alternative. Change is difficult but often necessary.

Put this in another thread.  I can engage there.  Let us not contaminate a GDT.

You're right I don't want a nonsense discussion with no tangible evidence. It appears you want arguments not discussions.

[LGR4GM]

We all know the Sabres have sucked for a decade. We disagree that part of the cause has been Jack Eichel. 

[PerreaultForever]

Having Reinhart taking the draw with the goalie pulled doesn't exactly scream genius coaching but whatever, face offs don't matter I'm told. 

So, two teams trying to play basically the same way. They're just better than us.

For those people in the other thread saying the Sabres are a mid level team maybe this will convince you. Rangers are a mid level team. We are down below that. 

We were never in it. Thompson needs to sit again. All his bad habits are taking over again. Guy just doesn't get it.

A healthy Jack will solve the first bit, at least

I mean has he scored 200 goals a season to dig them out of the hole? No!? Then he’s part of the cause. 😉

No, but expecting him to be the answer for everything is part of the cause.

He’s pointing out the fallacy of your arguments, but you’re not picking up on it.

Agree. I’m personally against building a team around one player. Build a team.

You're changing one of the only things that work. Again, I disagree.
