Will Jack Eichel be a Sabre next season?

[5 Minute Major]

They will if he requests a trade

Oh?

 

[enthusiast]

They’re not going to sell low off of injury. He might get traded mid 21-22 tho

Ryder, Halak & 2nd

Buch, Strome, Georgiev, 2nd

Buch, Strome, Georgiev, 2nd

I’d be asking for more if I’m the sabres. At least a first instead of a 2nd.

I voted no but I could see him giving it ONE more season if there is a real coach and real #1 goalie brought in.

There there is talent there in Reinhart, Olofsson, Dahlin, Skinner, Eichel.

You bring in a coach with credibility and a legitimate starter and you will start seeing progress, the problem in Buffalo is NOBODY has an credibility.

Said before and I will say it again. Say what you want about Mike Babcock but when he and Lou got hired shit needed to change, and they did it, and they did it because they had credibility.

I'm not saying hire Mike Babcock but you NEED people with credibility, they don't have that in GM chair, behind the bench, in the minors, ANYWHERE.

Until that changes, NOTHING changes

He has choice but to be here unless someone comes with an amazing offer and he asks out.

Even if he asks out and there is no amazing offer, he will still be here.

Why? We don't have to trade him.

Guys like Matthews, Mcdavid, Eichel are different, they are franchise guys, they can force their way out if they want to.

I wasn't being serious, I was quoting OPs meme and updating it with the Rags fanbase's modern day equivalent

No sane Sabres fan wants that trash for Eichel

 

[ScaredStreit]

I think everyone on HF has a better chance at being a Sabre next year than Hall.

It was a joke post because that's the joke offer Rangers fans keep posting.
Except they're serious.

 

[lawrence]

He ain’t going nowher.

 

[Voight]

Even though hes played bad / below expectations hes still only 24 and a #1C. He's also locked into a good contract and is at peak value right now.

 

[2 others]

I hope he gets traded so the Sabres can finally draft their #1 center with the picks they get back

 

[MrThomas]

I dont think no one wanna be Sabres. But i guess Eichel have to... :/

 

[thadd]

I'm not voting. I looked at the results and it's nice to see majority going with "yes", but I wish there were a "i have no clue" option there.

If you trade Eichel for picks it better be before the draft and it sure as hell better not be to a team that's just missing a top 2 center otherwise those picks are going to be worth diddili squat!

I'm not saying that's a good return but Buch and Strome are close to PPG players you're out to lunch calling them trash. Georgiev sucks and obviously the 2nd can be a 1st but Sabres fans seem to be a bit too full of themselves given that they root for one of the worst franchises in sports.

 

[topshelf15]

That NMC coming up after next season may become a pressure point...I hope they dont move him but they need to do better at building a team around him...

 

[Yatzhee]

yep.

With the emergence of the information that a major change is coming to the Sabres front office to include Rutherford, i don't see Eichel, Dahlin or Ullmark going anywhere.

Ruthergord is rumored to want a rebuilding franchise to over see. Those 3 are most likely the building blocks, imho.

I do see Reinhart on the move however. Cost, with Skinner still on the books it will come down to cost, again, imho.

Young up and comers such as Borgen and Bryson on D as well as Quinn at RW will more than certainly give Rutherford an edge. When combined with the Sabres ability to garner more assets via trades, as well as hockey trades, Rutherford could be stepping in to a position of strength as he'll have the ability to shape the team to his vision.

So, one last opportunity to leave his imprint on the NHL. I can see Rutherford saying yes, as long as the Pegulas step away from hockey ops decisions to a large degree.

We'll see if it works, but having experienced personnel in key management positions is a massive step in the right direction for the Sabres, and as I said, Eichel will more than likely be a huge part of that vision going forward, especially given his age and skillsets.

 

[BlueBaron]

Going with yes because I can't read minds. it's ultimately up to him.

How are the Rangers two leading scorers trash? If they are trash leading the Rangers in points, what is every player on the Sabres roster? The Sabres two leading scorers have 11 and 10 points less than the players you called trash.

 

[Spirit of 67]

No.

 

[paulmm3]

Yes, you've got to be an idiot to trade Jack. Buffalo has to be especially worried about trading their stars after getting fleeced in the trade of the century O'Reilly deal

 

[banks]

Blow it up. Buffalo is beyond a disaster. Blow it up.

 

[DFF]

No, he will be a flames
