We are in the same stew as Ottawa, but they have absolutely no leg to stand on when it comes to star players and success.
Commenting that people think Jack is not a winner due to body language and that will scare off AV or Q.

Maybe? If either of those guys are pop psychologists and can read the nuance of body language and facial expressions. Besides, i don't buy the that crap. Vanek was one of the mopiest players i have ever seen in a sabres jersey and a lot of teams still coveted him. At the end of the day money and resources talk.Commenting that people think Jack is not a winner due to body language and that will scare off AV or Q.
If you are scared away by the attitude of a player as a coach you should probably stay away from coaching all together.Commenting that people think Jack is not a winner due to body language and that will scare off AV or Q.
Time really flies.This man starts season number FIVE in October.
He says the right things to the media. I still question him as a leader. I still go back to Lehner saying young players were disrespectful to the game. Jack was the leader of that group. I don't think that type of disrespect for the game changes. We need a coach that is a leader because it's not coming from this group.I am proud of how much he has grown as a player on and off the ice. His locker clean out interview was great. he was positive, honest, and well spoken. For those complaining about his leadership qualities, i am not sure they can see the forest for the trees.

No need to speculate. How often do have to hear about players not following the system?Lehner, the 24-26yo (durig his Sabres tenure) who showed up to games and practices drunk/hungover ?? Yeah, I'll be sure to care a lot about what he thinks, and speculate wildly on my own from there.
I've never heard a word about Jack doing any of the things that people I don't trust and who routinely get stuff wrong broadly whisper about on twitter - ie, those people never even say it's Jack to begin with, so I'm not going to assume it's him and then rail his leadership for it, noNo need to speculate. How often do have to hear about players not following the system?
I am just not buying it. Everything that I have seen from Jack, this season, points towards a young player who is maturing into the leader we all hoped he would be. A coach's failings are not on the team captain or the youngest player. A coach is supposed to command the respect of the team he is in charge of. It sounds like Housley had their respect, but his coaching was not good enough to tighten up the mistakes. There was speculation that there was a huge disconnect in communication between Bylsma and the players and somehow Eichel is the one that lead to his inevitable firing? No sir, not buying that.He says the right things to the media. I still question him as a leader. I still go back to Lehner saying young players were disrespectful to the game.

But that's all it is. He said she said is speculative at best.No need to speculate. How often do have to hear about players not following the system?

He is the last one who should be calling anyone out. There were a number of rumored party guys who are no longer on the team who aren’t exactly old too.
Toronto Fan here...
The bloom has come of the Matthews' rose in Toronto. I thought Eichel passed Matthews by. Others are starting to agree.
While the Eichel comparisons to McDavid are painful in hindsight, and has been an anvil around Eichel's neck, at least you have someone who is Captain material and more than just an amazing shot.
Eichel is not perfect, but I would trade him for Matthews.
