Eichel isn't going anywhere. This organization seems to finally have a competent guy at the helm.

Troll post?

I'm assuming you read the same asinine article I did.
Even as a Rangers fan I will say that offer is a joke.

I don't think eichel to rangers is an insane thought I do think it involves strome/both firsts going back Assuming eichel getting sick and tired of sabres not improving is real.

Lol. More like lackluster

Eichel most likely starts with Lundkvist, Chytil, and a First. Wouldn’t be worth it for the Rags. I love Eichel and all, just dont think it’d be worth it for us.

This was a troll post all!!! Based on some stupid article I read!! You can loosen the panties ladies...

I don't know what's more rediculous: the trade itself, or the fact that you have Eichel on your second line here.

Ridiculous not rediculous. You know what is more ridiculous?? Having Eichel and high draft picks every year and still sucking.

yup.
We can thank DATM for that.
Reinhart over Draisaitl and Nylander over Sergachev.
Need I say more.

@Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan
Murray looked after one trade. He went down hill really fast after that.
I know you have your mind set, but Botterill was given a team that finished last in the NHL.
No extra picks, no defense, no prospects, no depth, terrible contracts Moulson/Okposo which is the worst.

Let's not forget Johansson was added to the team by Botterill.
Let's not over look Kahun, Skinner, and Jokiharju.
Either Miller or Montour are a huge improvement over Bogosian.
On the other hand, I hated the Scandella for Frolik trade.
Hiring Krueger over many other choices was a huge error.

Botterill and Murray had their highs and lows. Lack of success during long period of time was cutthroat for both. Murray made terrible draft selections and throw money out like candy. Botterill made some nice moves but drafting a bust in Mittelstadt as your first pick, trading O'Reilly for a box of cookies, Non-qualifing our only good goalie and getting nothing (Lehner), Getting bent in Skinner negotiations and basically outbidding himself, throwing draft picks away, and 3 years of no shown improvements got him sent off.

Well let's agree to disagree.
O'Reilly begged to be traded.
Did you ever listen to O'Reilly's entire interview?
https://thehockeywriters.com/sabres-oreilly-deserves-respect-not-accusations/
listen at 1:54, 3:00, 4:58 and 5:08 lost his love of the game. We were lucky to get a bucket of pucks after this interview.

He overpaid Skinner.
He never could get the #2 center, but maybe that was Cozens.
He never should have hired Krueger.
He made a simply horrible deal trading Scandella for Frolik. But I wonder if Krueger wanted that. Remember how Sobotka played on the second line? Frolik is another Sobotka.

I greatly improved the teams defense (only McCabe and Ristolainen were true NHL defensemen on the team Botterill inherited).
He improved the team depth.
BTW it is too early to call Mittelstadt a bust.
Only 8 players from that draft have more pts than he, oh yes he was drafted 8th and he is only 21.
Vanek, Pominville and Stafford did not play in the NHL until they were 21.
I do not remember anyone calling them busts.

The Sabres with Lehner, O'Reilly and Kane never had a winning season much less playoffs or Stanley Cup.
After finishing last in the Atlantic then last overall, Botterill decided to rebuild.
There were not many assets left after Murray gutted the prospect pool and traded away multiple picks for nothing.
I see no highs for Murray, just failure.
His team finished last in the NHL.
Botterill's teams were at least competitive for half the season, many times you must have felt really good about their chances of making the playoffs.
Did you ever get those warm fuzzies when O'Reilly was here?
I actually watched the Blues play, if O'Reilly played with that much intensity for the Sabres, we would have made the playoffs and he would not have been traded.

Let me close, I watched Sabres closely and the team always played better when the back up GK (look below at the backup records if you do not believe me) was in net while Lehner was here.
He had no value and signed for much less than a qualifying offer would have been.
He still has little value, as just this year he was traded for Martins Dzierkals then again for a fifth round pick.

2015-'16 Robin Lehner 5 9 5 39.5% Chad Johnson 22 16 4 58.5%
2016-'17 Robin Lehner 23 26 8 47.4% Anders Nilsson 10 10 4 50.0%
2017-'18 Robin Lehner 14 26 9 37.8% Chad Johnson 10 16 3 39.7%

Good points. Just hope GMKA could stay on the all-time high.

Thanks for your reply.
The Staal trade was huge.
IMO Cozens will be better than Reinhart.
While I have no faith in Krueger, I could imagine the following lines:
Olofsson Eichel Reinhart
Skinner Staal Cozens
Kahun Mittelstadt Okposo
??? Lazar Thompson

We may see a trade for a LHD but if not this group was successful last year:
Dahlin Miller
Montour Ristolainen
McCabe Jokiharju

I am uncertain if Buffalo should trade for a GK.
When Hutton could see, he was awesome and Ullmark gets better every year.

We'll see. Friedman said Sabres looking at upgrade at G.

Perhaps they take Askarov assuming he is there @ 9?

I'd be surprised if they took Askarov considering UPL being in the system and the need for top 6 F's.
