Alaska Darin Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 @StepnerWKBW A source tells me Jack Eichel will be in Buffalo today and will sign his first pro contract with the #Sabres today. There really wasn't a reason to doubt otherwise. There's no way any player should leave millions of dollars on the table to stay in college.

There's no way any player should leave millions of dollars on the table to stay in college. Beyond the financial aspect, he's ready for the challenge of the NHL and needs to be in the big leagues to grow his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Beyond the financial aspect, he's ready for the challenge of the NHL and needs to be in the big leagues to grow his game. I also thought that there was no way he was going to let McDavid get a year up on him and have to chase his numbers throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I also thought that there was no way he was going to let McDavid get a year up on him and have to chase his numbers throughout his career. He's ultra-competitive, so that frame of mind wouldn't surprise me.

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 There really wasn't a reason to doubt otherwise. There's no way any player should leave millions of dollars on the table to stay in college. Agreed. It's why it's such a joke football and basketball players have such restrictions. Jack needs to shave the dome to look like a complete BA. Still hate the tank, but it's insane how much more talented this team is. When Ennis is your top threat, that's a problem. When he is a 2nd or 3rd liner, you have the start of something very good. They might score goals this year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Peters is embarrassing. The dude is totally how is a guy selected 34 overall such a horrible scorer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I thought bringing back Sekera made a lot of sense for our L-handed defenseman needs. Just fell out of my chair when I heard he got a $33M deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
