Sell me on the Buffalo Sabres

[Critical13]

Good. The Jets' organization loves having them. Maybe that says something right there.

That's good, I guess. I am sure if the Jets miss the playoffs, you will be less excited about them. Winning really makes one feel good about it's team.

Not to mention - have you seen the season Kane is having? They will recoup those assets and then some when they deal him.

He's like everyone's obnoxious little cousin...

Just radiates cockiness and arrogance. You could just see it when Buffalo announced his name at the draft in 2015.

Eichel needs to watch how Scheifele plays... Eichel has similar but better tools, but doesn't have the same approach to every shift.

Eichel has physical tools that 99.9% of players in the league can only dream of having, and puts them to very little use.

Man Eichel takes a ton of crap.

Is it too harsh to say eichel is more in the seguin/tavares/stamkos type player mold rather than the mcdavid/matthews level?

Why would it be harsh? That's what he's always been seen as. Right now he still has quite a lot of growing to do before he even enters that tier of player.

I can't sell you on the Sabres, but i can sell you on this headline...
"EICHEL FORCED THE KANE TRADE SO THAT HE COULD WEAR THE NUMBER 9"

This headline won't be active until October of next year, but if you buy now at the low price of 9.99, I will throw in a copy of the famous hockey dramas "EICHEL KILLED MY COACH" and "EICHEL KILLED MY COACH II: THE RETURN OF THE GINGER KING".

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Call now. Don't miss out. Be one of the first 15 callers and recieve an autographed EICHEL SERVING PLATTER!!! Great for parties, family gatherings or just a saturday night in! This will make you the hit of the party! Empty stomachs? Samoan guests? No worries! Serving with the EICHEL platter, you are bound to score! Just ask Evander Kane.

I have to take it a step further and say he's in the RNH/Johnson/Mackinnon level

 

[Quares27]

I'm shocked at the amount of crap Eichel gets... you don't need a top 5 player to win the Cup. Buffalo's team is not very strong in any position and their D core especially is horrible. That's not their best player's fault and him scoring 20 more points wont even really matter in the bigger picture because that doesnt make their roster better.

It doesn't. The only current NHLer on that list is a 3rd/4th liner. Makes 0 difference when it comes to Buffalo's current situation

You shouldn't be. It's been happening since the day he was drafted by the Sabres. Hell, one poster on this very page legit already said he could tell Eichel was arrogant and cocky by the look of him on draft day. Posters like that are beyond any reasonable discussion. How stupid is that?

 

[Skobel24]

They are just tanking again. Give it 2-3 years and they'll start making a splash.

It's the Oilers all over again.

 

[Yatzhee]

I'm starting to think the Pegula's are more toxic than most realize. Both of their franchises have and/or are a mess.

They were a mess long before the Pegulas purchased them.

it's too generous if anything

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Going from first to last ranked pp. That's no mean feat.

 

[nickdawg95]

eichel get so much hate you would think he cuckled a lot of the posters on hf

 

[Brobust]

Mackinnon's working his way up into the Stamkos/Tavares tier. I think I'd prefer Mackinnon to Eichel.

 

[JThorne]

We fans know they suck. The players know they suck. Only Housley doesn't realize it yet.

Just leave us be.

I don't find he does at all.

Buffalo got so much ridiculous hype for their rebuild there was bound to be a backlash once they bombed.
