4merper4mer Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Eichel signed yet?? Weather has been good and J-Bot's iron play is really coming around.
plenzmd1 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Weather has been good and J-Bot's iron play is really coming around. Man, everybody just assumes this is about money, and it could be. Eichel may want McDavid or even max money, and to date, he has not earned it. Nor do i think the Sabres should pay it. Good for Jack betting on himself and saying I will earn it this year. But bigger fear for me is what if Jack is insisting on a 4-year term? Oh boy, now we got a problem Houston. And what if someone term sheets him next with a 4-year term, now you got an issue.Max money and max term, they match. 4-year term is the worst thing that can happen to this team.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Update. Just called DirecTV to see if they had any offers on NHL Center Ice with the Sabres' season on the horizon. They offered me 4 payments of $38.49 with $15/month off my bill for 12 months. I accepted of course since that more than covers the cost of NHL CI. I forgot to mention that NHL CI includes an authorization to watch games via NHL TV. Edited September 29, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz

Don't think that's the issue although you never know. He's made it very clear lately he's happy here and wants to say. Some players just say that. I think you can usually tell when they go out of their way.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) @BuffaloSabres Final game of the preseason tonight! @KeyBankCtr 6:30pm pregame on MSG drops at 7pm : http://bufsabres.co/tix1718 Edited September 29, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz
row_33 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 so what are you hoping for with the Sabres? I'll watch 20 or so games, maybe even a road trip or two for an affordable and more enjoyable game in Buffalo than Toronto gives me... sadly... As a Leafs fan it's nice to feel good heading into the season and hope the egos stay in check and a solid season with maybe winning a playoff round isn't too optimistic.

Leafs look great Sabres look ok. Housley has them playing that new style and that is fun to watch. The new defense will be a thing to watch as will how Samson does at center. Just nice to have hockey back
bbb Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I forgot to mention that NHL CI includes an authorization to watch games via NHL TV. Do you get a refund if a player kneels for the anthem? What if they only kneel for the US, but stand for the Canadian one?

Alaska Darin Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Shrader, Darin??? who this guy be? Reports coming out of L.A. that the Sabres have claimed Jordan Nolan off waivers. J.A.G. Big body, does nothing well except consistent effort.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 Sabres lose 3-1 to the NYI in the preseason finale. Bogosian hurt yet again as he didn't appear in the 3rd period at all.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I hope this preseason was just practice. They didn't look too good so far.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 @SabresPR The Sabres have assigned Bailey, Deslauriers* and Fedun* to Rochester and released Goloubef. *Pending waivers https://sabresdigitalpressbox.com/2017/09/30/sabres-trim-training-camp-roster-by-four/

26CornerBlitz Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 @DarrenDreger No change in the Eichel negotiation. No reason to read into that, however further discussions could be shelved until next summer.
Cripple Creek Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 #20 seems a bit overly optimistic to me. Thoughts? http://www.nbcsports.com/washington/washington-capitals/nhl-power-rankings-2017-18#slide-16
row_33 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 i can't wait for this all to start, not enough to pay $225 for SRO for Saturday's Rangers visit in Toronto... best of luck to the Sabres, I read of good things in the short term!
plenzmd1 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 @DarrenDreger No change in the Eichel negotiation. No reason to read into that, however further discussions could be shelved until next summer. Damn, next summer scares me. As I mentioned up thread, not about money, but about term. What if someone offers him 4years, $7.8M . Comp is a first, second and a third . Eichel makes it all abck by being UFA at age 25. Maybe the Bruins make that offer?
