Sounds like Alex Stalock’s heart condition came back. Tough to hear. I hope everything works out for him. Also not encouraging with regards to Rossi
Stripped of his "C"....guess it shouldn't be a surprise.
I am curious to see who they name the captain though. Cozens for stating he wants to stay in Buffalo?
Pretty damning article today in The Athletic written by John Vogl. The Eichel situation is an unmitigated disaster with no end in sight. We think we have it bad here sometimes but imagine being a Sabres fan right now
Man, Adams talking about his "plan" and "sticking to it" just made me sad; for Eichel, for their fans, and even for Adams himself, though in more of a pitying way. This is a man whose plan hasn't achieved a single thing in months, and he's refusing to acknowledge that it may need tweaking. And this is ignoring that teams shouldn't even be allowed to choose treatment for a player. The NHL has overreached in their influence here, with that part of the CBA. I can't believe the players allowed that to go through! I'm betting that gets changed in the next CBA, thanks to Eichel.Pretty damning article today in The Athletic written by John Vogl.

I wonder what would happen if Eichel just paid for the surgery himself? What would the ramifications would be? Would the Sabres sue for breach of CBA? Do they want the PR for being the team that didn't want a player to get a surgery? At a certain point the NHL needs to resolve this. I can't help but view the team is wrong here. At this point Eichel is never playing for you again. Just let him get his surgery so you can trade him. He will be someone else's problem if the surgery doesn't help.

Eichel would rejoice if they followed through on the last option. The Sabres would never do it though.Options would be to do nothing, suspend him without pay until healthy, or void his contract.
Depends what he'd get as a free agent coming off neck surgery... 50 mil guaranteed is a lot to risk.Eichel would rejoice if they followed through on the last option. The Sabres would never do it though.
At this point? He's made a ton of money, someone will give him a phat contract anyway... he's so pissed at the organization, he'd be thrilled.Depends what he'd get as a free agent coming off neck surgery... 50 mil guaranteed is a lot to risk.
Caught a bit of the MTL/Leafs game. Menell looked decent. Very comfortable with the puck on his stick.
I remember a lot of fans wanted Kieffer Bellows over Luke Kunin...well - Bellows might end up on waivers. What a massive bust.
