That would be a great combo, not having too much of a bias towards either team. The Wild could make it work too, especially given the expansion draft taking someone. They have two firsts this year, and should be able to give up next year’s first as well.
It's sad our organization has failed him, our other players and us as fans so badly. We lose Jack, I am out. This teams been tough to watch for years but Jack gave us some awesome moments for being such a young player. He doesn't deserve to have his career wasted though and deserves better than what the Sabres have been offering and as a Fan that's hard to say. I dont blame him for wanting to be done with this reset button cycle every year.
A lot of anger towards the Sabre Org. here, and probably rightfully so. But Eichel got 10 mill a year and he isn't a 10 mill a year player. Buffalo gets screwed on any trade because that contract will be factored into it, and Eichel took the money, now he wants out with the cash. He isn't a leader, leaders don't take the money and run. I feel a bit sorry for whoever trades for him, because he isn't the kind of guy who's gonna lead you to a championship and they're likely going to pay a high price to get him. IMO.
Put this in the past and move forward, Jack. We all respect your decision and would do the same thing if under the same circumstances. Thank you for all you continue to do for the Sabres organization. When you are choosing your next team to play for, Montreal is where you will see your game reach new heights. 💯❤️
You must be referring to Yannick Webber. He hasn’t played in Montreal for years. All three of those guys you mentioned played fairly well throughout their time in Montreal. Shea Weber is starting to show signs of regression this season, as all players eventually do in their careers.
It’s really a shame. We went through the decade of darkness in Edmonton, luckily now Tippet and Holland have righted the ship. I’d like to say hold out for better days but I can’t see it happening with the situation in Buffalo. A promising career could be ruined.
@SVS I don't see anything on interest that they could offer. Tkachuk, Monahan, Andersson and a 1st is 4 first round caliber players/assets but it is still not that hot. A Kakko or Lafreniere from Rangers is just something else. Lafreniere is someone to build your team around for real. I think have a better chance at getting him. Broberg, 2022 1st, Lavoie, 2023 1st. Flames just don't have a team left if they trade for him. With my proposal they have Gaudreau left. Mangiapane and Dube will be able to step up big time because they are great talents but still Flames already look weak and this leaves them with terrible depth. L.A or Rangers will probably get him. Montreal is a dark horse to get him I think
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 Lafreniere would be a pretty good trade...if you threw in a couple of decent picks,this might sound dumb but I have a desire for Nico Hershier lol idk why soooooo Devils 👀
I have no problem with Eichel being traded, I have a problem with Kevyn Adams being the GM executing that trade. You’re never gonna get full value in replacing the player, but Adams is gonna get fleeced badly
It’s a bad situation for Adams. When a guy wants out, the return is diminished immediately. He also hasn’t played much the last year or so. His value is as low as it could ever possibly be. The team that gets him is gonna get a great deal.
@@maxentiusdecimus9341 Nobody does. It's sad... long gone are the days when Pominville, Wooley, Campbell, Briere and more declared this to be their favorite city to play. When Buffalo sports fans give up on you, it's bad. The city that supported the Bills through an 18 year playoff drought, who said sure Tank for Eichel, who bought every re-imagined jersey creation you could come up with... those Buffalo fans. And somehow this team managed to lose them
Given his contract value, we might be able to afford him (from a trade package pov). My package is Jake Neighbours, Ivan Babrbashev, Ville Husso and 2023 draft picks. Thoughts?
This also means we can’t back Schwartz and Hoffman. If Bozy is open to a 2/$6M ($3M AAV) then I think we are in a good spot. Need to find a trade partner for Sanford and Scandella

I love how these reporters act like Eichel said he wants out of buffalo!!! He never said anything like that, he's saying that.... Once again.... Everything is basically up in the air
Why do opposing fans think they can get eichel for a garbage return. Sabres hold all the cards. You need to give up a top prospect to just start. He's a proven thing, still young and under contract.
All hes proved so far is hes a decent center who had 2 good years and the rest mediocre. The rest is speculation. There is nothing even close to a guarentee that he will go somewhere else and thrive. Hes shown flashes of "maybe this kid is special" but thats all they've been. Hes good, but he isnt crosby.
Yeah ... Get him out of there, but NOT BEFORE signing a guaranteed $80 Million 8 year deal TO PLAY IN BUFFALO a couple of years ago. Seemed to be happy then! HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT like A MAN, you entitled whining butt.
Us Sabres fans thought the glory days were ahead. Eichel and Reino. Then this organization blew it over and over. I hate to bring myself to say this but trade Eichel. I hate even more to see this guy waste his career with how badly this management misses the mark every time.
Honestly I feel like he is gonna stay here and work harder for himself for this team and help his teammates, He’s fed up, he’s getting his anger out, if he does end up leaving, it won’t be the same vibe watching the Sabres but as always I will always be that #1 fan
How can he miss Ralph? Idc how much of a friend he was to you, he clearly wasn't a coach. we tied the Bills for wins this year and the sabres played almost 4 times more games lol
Boston, good gracious me. As a bruins fan, that would be beyond amazing, but sadly I don’t see how that could work. Maybe coyle for salery, debrusk and a couple firsts? Idk, depends on what Eichel’s value is at the time of a trade
well hopefully management isnt stupid enough to trade him within the division or even conference, so no lol... maybe minny but Kaprizov will have to be on the table and thats just the beginning
@@darrinstefaniak I think Minnesota would prefer kaprizov when they would have to give something else as well in order to get jack eichel, and frankly, I would as well, so no, I don’t think he would be on the table.
There's zero incentive to stay there. Wanting to work through the hard times is one thing, but under the conditions these players seem to be in must feel like a lost cause.

Ik he's worked hard and has produced...when he wants to play. That said he's a spoiled puke! From the jump of his career he's been a pouty child. I understand the sabres are a sinking ship but there's been plenty of people that have stuck it out for the team
Let him play out his contract then; if he wants to play himself into oblivion and become a laughing stock of the league, let him for the next 5 years. If another team steps up with a fair deal, then trade the entitled butt's ass. Otherwise, have him honour the contract he was happy to sign at the time. When did contracts become not worth the paper they're written on, anyway?
@@davideaston6944 lmao 🤣😂😆"when did contracts become not worth the paper they're written on" Wow.. seriously? Ask every team that has enacted to the compliance buyout option under the collective bargaining agreement Smh
I actually thought he made a lot of roundabout answers in order to not trash talk management. He could have stuck it them way more than he did, and be well within his rights. Thought he handled the situation with class.
Sounds like he needs to be on a team with a respected veteran. With Toews possibly out, Chicago would have room for a new centre. Playing with Kane would really improve Eichel. They need a centre, they have the experience and they could make the cap space
As amazing that would be, it wouldn’t make too much sense. Hawks need defensive help, plus our young guns need to get paid eventually. That would turn into a cap crunch real quick
So many great captains (Yzerman for example) didn’t win anything for years. It’s not like Eichel is 30 years old and been losing for over a decade. His behaviors aren’t captain material. Great players play on bad teams. He should be honored to wear the C for the Sabres. His teammates have to have a leader that they can believe in and trust that he believes in them. Maybe Eichel’s leadership is part of the problem with the team?
Don’t make the same mistake that was made with RR . Get this guy some players to help him win . Of course he wants to win , anyone that plays sports wants to be on a winning team . Not easy to find players this caliber .

@@ChronicMewer I think the package is gonna end up being, Buchnevich or Strome for cap reasons, Lundkvist, Kravstov, Mathew Robertson, a First , and a second that has the chance of being a first
Buffalo have lost so much leverage in trading him. I don't think they are going to get as much for him as they would have last year. They are going to be forced to sell low on him, Sam, and Risto. They are going to have to overpay like crazy to keep Ulmark around and he might just wanna leave like others.
Come to montreal please. Eichel vs Matthews regularly would make everything so enjoyable. give them KK, danault, tatar, chariot, prospects and a draft pick. blow it up please. if anything give them guhle, brooke or fleury prospects. or even poehling

He been a point per game player for his career despite playing on absolutely terrible teams. He's still only 24 and the upside is tremendous. Wishing Eichel the best going forward. He will tear it up on any other team
@@Carl_McMelvin solid response lol good talk
He's an elite player and deserves better support. You surround him with a quality team and he becomes one of the ten best scorers in the league. I'm a Leaf fan but I still feel bad for Sabres fans for what they had to go through this season. The Leafs had a lot of rough years too so I understand how they feel there and I hope it improves soon. Good luck to Jack and to the Sabres as well. Keep smiling!🤘😃
As a habs fan,Imagine if the habs get him
Pls don’t hate me
@@alexthehunter3143 Habs need a #1 center. Imagine Eichel and Caufield on a line together!! but if Jack goes to Montreal then the Leafs vs. Habs rivalry will become super fun to watch!! My guess is that the Rangers or Philly get him.
@@Carl_McMelvin ya, he is lol.
@@Carl_McMelvin well some people just come on TH-cam to agrue silly things like this and I guess you're one of them. Not really interested to go back and forth with you on such a stupid topic. I'm a Leaf fan so I could care less what you think of a player who doesn't even play for the Leafs. Go find something else stupid to argue about with someone else lol.😂
@@Carl_McMelvin omg you're still going? Obviously you're either a troll or a hockey cry baby. Get a life. It's only TH-cam comments🤣😂
i just know he’s going to request a trade and the pegulas will screw it up. i’m so done with this team
I was gonna have Seattle as a second team to cheer for next Season. They may be the only team to cheer for next season...
Cmon Minnesota get this guy to play with Kaprizov
yuhhh
That would be awesome
That would be a great combo, not having too much of a bias towards either team. The Wild could make it work too, especially given the expansion draft taking someone. They have two firsts this year, and should be able to give up next year’s first as well.
NYR my fren. Already a lock
@@DeadPixel27 the rangers absolutely will not have the cap space for that haha
It's sad our organization has failed him, our other players and us as fans so badly. We lose Jack, I am out. This teams been tough to watch for years but Jack gave us some awesome moments for being such a young player. He doesn't deserve to have his career wasted though and deserves better than what the Sabres have been offering and as a Fan that's hard to say. I dont blame him for wanting to be done with this reset button cycle every year.
A lot of anger towards the Sabre Org. here, and probably rightfully so. But Eichel got 10 mill a year and he isn't a 10 mill a year player. Buffalo gets screwed on any trade because that contract will be factored into it, and Eichel took the money, now he wants out with the cash. He isn't a leader, leaders don't take the money and run. I feel a bit sorry for whoever trades for him, because he isn't the kind of guy who's gonna lead you to a championship and they're likely going to pay a high price to get him. IMO.
Put this in the past and move forward, Jack. We all respect your decision and would do the same thing if under the same circumstances. Thank you for all you continue to do for the Sabres organization. When you are choosing your next team to play for, Montreal is where you will see your game reach new heights. 💯❤️
Like Galchenyuk, Domi, and Webber..lol
You must be referring to Yannick Webber. He hasn’t played in Montreal for years.
All three of those guys you mentioned played fairly well throughout their time in Montreal. Shea Weber is starting to show signs of regression this season, as all players eventually do in their careers.
Playing for the Sabres aged him 15 years!
It’s really a shame. We went through the decade of darkness in Edmonton, luckily now Tippet and Holland have righted the ship. I’d like to say hold out for better days but I can’t see it happening with the situation in Buffalo. A promising career could be ruined.
The thumbnail itself sums up eichels feelings
I'm ready for this blockbuster trade
@SVS if the flames want him, at least gaudreau and tkuchuk and thats only the beginning. i honestly don't even want gaudreau
@SVS I don't see anything on interest that they could offer. Tkachuk, Monahan, Andersson and a 1st is 4 first round caliber players/assets but it is still not that hot. A Kakko or Lafreniere from Rangers is just something else. Lafreniere is someone to build your team around for real. I think have a better chance at getting him. Broberg, 2022 1st, Lavoie, 2023 1st. Flames just don't have a team left if they trade for him. With my proposal they have Gaudreau left. Mangiapane and Dube will be able to step up big time because they are great talents but still Flames already look weak and this leaves them with terrible depth. L.A or Rangers will probably get him. Montreal is a dark horse to get him I think
@@darrinstefaniak same
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 Lafreniere would be a pretty good trade...if you threw in a couple of decent picks,this might sound dumb but I have a desire for Nico Hershier lol idk why soooooo Devils 👀
@SVS Flames would be insane to let Johnny go. Monahan and a first for this guy. Perfect trade.
I have no problem with Eichel being traded, I have a problem with Kevyn Adams being the GM executing that trade. You’re never gonna get full value in replacing the player, but Adams is gonna get fleeced badly
It’s a bad situation for Adams. When a guy wants out, the return is diminished immediately. He also hasn’t played much the last year or so. His value is as low as it could ever possibly be.
The team that gets him is gonna get a great deal.
@@myquest666420 he doesn’t have a no move clause or no trade clause. That doesn’t kick in until next year and that will diminish his value
Losing Eichel and Reinhart are a possibility this year. It's like a lesser form of Briere and Drury all over again.
It's like losing those two but due to how bad we are & their years being swept away .... :(
@@maxentiusdecimus9341 Nobody does. It's sad... long gone are the days when Pominville, Wooley, Campbell, Briere and more declared this to be their favorite city to play. When Buffalo sports fans give up on you, it's bad. The city that supported the Bills through an 18 year playoff drought, who said sure Tank for Eichel, who bought every re-imagined jersey creation you could come up with... those Buffalo fans. And somehow this team managed to lose them
Totally opposite
@@jerryslist yup that is the difference. Briere and drury were awesome
Can see in the tone of his voice, and his eyes that this team is draining this man of every bit of talent he has. Sad
The St. Louis Blues would gladly take another Buffalo captain...
Given his contract value, we might be able to afford him (from a trade package pov). My package is Jake Neighbours, Ivan Babrbashev, Ville Husso and 2023 draft picks. Thoughts?
This also means we can’t back Schwartz and Hoffman. If Bozy is open to a 2/$6M ($3M AAV) then I think we are in a good spot. Need to find a trade partner for Sanford and Scandella
His contract specifically states he gets 2 dozen wings per game. That alone is worth 15 bux.
Eichel and Ristolinen deserve better. Honestly the reason why I hate the Sabres now.
The look on Jack’s face: “God, get me out of here!”
Yeah ... Get me out of here, but NOT BEFORE signing a guaranteed $80 Million deal a couple of years ago. Seemed to be happy then! HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT like A MAN, you entitled whining butt.
I love how these reporters act like Eichel said he wants out of buffalo!!! He never said anything like that, he's saying that.... Once again.... Everything is basically up in the air
Don't kid yourself. Of course he wants out of Buffalo! He is gone. Sayonara.
Come to Edmonton baby, 2015 draft class #1 and #2.
Deserves a good team
Why do opposing fans think they can get eichel for a garbage return. Sabres hold all the cards. You need to give up a top prospect to just start. He's a proven thing, still young and under contract.
All hes proved so far is hes a decent center who had 2 good years and the rest mediocre. The rest is speculation. There is nothing even close to a guarentee that he will go somewhere else and thrive. Hes shown flashes of "maybe this kid is special" but thats all they've been. Hes good, but he isnt crosby.
@@mp40submachinegun81 Might be one of the worst takes on a player I’ve ever seen. 🤣 Thank you
@@ManOfRod97 dont get me wrong he absolutely has serious potential and could likely be a franchise player but people out here acting like hes crosby.
@@mp40submachinegun81 I think if Crosby started his career in Buffalo with the same circumstances he wouldn't have faired any better.
@@isidro9911 crosby started his career in Pittsburgh where they were about to lose the franchise. He wasnt in much better of a situation
I think it’s messed up that he’s not allowed to get surgery.. he should be allowed to make his own decision especially in situations like that.
If it's that serious of an injury in ur neck then how would it be a quick recovery?!?!? Explain that to me...
Get him out of Buffalo
Yeah ... Get him out of there, but NOT BEFORE signing a guaranteed $80 Million 8 year deal TO PLAY IN BUFFALO a couple of years ago. Seemed to be happy then! HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT like A MAN, you entitled whining butt.
I just wish he can get back out there. Highlight reels are a desolate place without Jack Eichel.
@SVS I meant a more desolate place
@SVS That's true because (a) McDavid has almost 2 points a game and (b) Eichel alone had about 1/5 highlights that I saw from 2019-20.
As a Saber fan ...so sad, that I feel he is leaving...no believe in winning with Buffalo. Good luck Jack.
If they trade him, the Sabers will never get another bit of my attention or money!!! That goes for Sam too
Us Sabres fans thought the glory days were ahead. Eichel and Reino. Then this organization blew it over and over. I hate to bring myself to say this but trade Eichel. I hate even more to see this guy waste his career with how badly this management misses the mark every time.
Honestly I feel like he is gonna stay here and work harder for himself for this team and help his teammates, He’s fed up, he’s getting his anger out, if he does end up leaving, it won’t be the same vibe watching the Sabres but as always I will always be that #1 fan
How can he miss Ralph? Idc how much of a friend he was to you, he clearly wasn't a coach. we tied the Bills for wins this year and the sabres played almost 4 times more games lol
You answered you’re own question
This is how many trade request Buffalo with get for him

Boston, Montreal, Ottawa, and Minny seem like good Spots for him.
Boston, good gracious me. As a bruins fan, that would be beyond amazing, but sadly I don’t see how that could work. Maybe coyle for salery, debrusk and a couple firsts? Idk, depends on what Eichel’s value is at the time of a trade
well hopefully management isnt stupid enough to trade him within the division or even conference, so no lol... maybe minny but Kaprizov will have to be on the table and thats just the beginning
@@darrinstefaniak I think Minnesota would prefer kaprizov when they would have to give something else as well in order to get jack eichel, and frankly, I would as well, so no, I don’t think he would be on the table.
#1 be cleared to play, I'm praying for you Jack
There's zero incentive to stay there. Wanting to work through the hard times is one thing, but under the conditions these players seem to be in must feel like a lost cause.
Yeah ... then why was he signing a guaranteed $80 Million deal a couple of years ago to play for Buffalo? Seemed to be happy then! HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT like A MAN, you entitled whining butt.
@@davideaston6944 dude stfu, we get your point so no need to spam it in every damn reply thread.
@@jeremyneal3749 Then why did I have to read 50 posts all defending this "poor boy" from the mean Buffalo Sabres ??? Who's actually spamming here? The same BS POST AFTER POST AFTER POST, over an adult who freely signed to get 10 MILLION DOLLARS PER SEASON !!!!! in order to be contractually obligated to The Sabres. What doesn't Eichel get about this deal? It's cut and dry. Stop your bloody whining, EVERYONE stop making excuses for the guy, and honour your contract. What? NOT ENOUGH $$$$ to have your boss tell you what they want you to do? HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED, Jack? Before you think you've got a FAIR deal?
Ik he's worked hard and has produced...when he wants to play. That said he's a spoiled puke! From the jump of his career he's been a pouty child. I understand the sabres are a sinking ship but there's been plenty of people that have stuck it out for the team
Stay up Jack🙏
The hat alone, says he’s gone.
Sadly, Jack just stuck it to Buffalo. His trade value has greatly shifted to make it a buyers market with jack.. not a sellers market..
Let him play out his contract then; if he wants to play himself into oblivion and become a laughing stock of the league, let him for the next 5 years. If another team steps up with a fair deal, then trade the entitled butt's ass. Otherwise, have him honour the contract he was happy to sign at the time. When did contracts become not worth the paper they're written on, anyway?
@@davideaston6944 lmao 🤣😂😆"when did contracts become not worth the paper they're written on"
Wow.. seriously? Ask every team that has enacted to the compliance buyout option under the collective bargaining agreement
Smh
@@redwineisfine Pretty sure you misread what I wrote. Cheers
@@davideaston6944 waivers
Eichel has a “disconnect “ with Sabres management, coaches, teammates, fans and reality.
Goo bye.
The Pegulas killed this franchise.
He clearly wants out of that franchise but having him basically trash talk the management is not fair.
I actually thought he made a lot of roundabout answers in order to not trash talk management. He could have stuck it them way more than he did, and be well within his rights. Thought he handled the situation with class.
Sounds like he needs to be on a team with a respected veteran. With Toews possibly out, Chicago would have room for a new centre. Playing with Kane would really improve Eichel. They need a centre, they have the experience and they could make the cap space
As amazing that would be, it wouldn’t make too much sense. Hawks need defensive help, plus our young guns need to get paid eventually. That would turn into a cap crunch real quick
So many great captains (Yzerman for example) didn’t win anything for years. It’s not like Eichel is 30 years old and been losing for over a decade. His behaviors aren’t captain material. Great players play on bad teams. He should be honored to wear the C for the Sabres. His teammates have to have a leader that they can believe in and trust that he believes in them. Maybe Eichel’s leadership is part of the problem with the team?
Eichel will be a member of either the New York Rangers, the Detroit Red Wings, or the New Jersey Devils.
Devils
What about the LA Kings 🤴 🤔
Can we start a GoFundMe so we can buy out his contract?
Jack Eichel is going tp Los Angeles Kings in 2021 offseason
I hope the Buffalo Sabers turn things around despite their ownership 💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jack deserves a better managed system to play for
Don’t make the same mistake that was made with RR . Get this guy some players to help him win . Of course he wants to win , anyone that plays sports wants to be on a winning team . Not easy to find players this caliber .
He looks like he's aged 10 years being in buffalo
i think he will be a king in LA next year...
That dude's checked out of Buffalo mentally. I'm guessing he's doing everything he can to get traded. Don't blade him. Buffalo is a shitshow.
Yeah ... Escape that shitshow, but NOT BEFORE signing a guaranteed $80 Million deal a couple of years ago. Seemed to be happy then! HONOUR YOUR CONTRACT like A MAN, you entitled whining butt.
How many Rangers fans ya think are stroking themselves off right now thinking they can get Eichel for a worn out potato and some marshmallow peeps?
They think that they’ll be able to keep both Laf and Kakko lmao
@@ChronicMewer gonna be real funny when we do 😏
@@ChronicMewer I think the package is gonna end up being, Buchnevich or Strome for cap reasons, Lundkvist, Kravstov, Mathew Robertson, a First , and a second that has the chance of being a first

@@NYREnthusiast gtfo kid are you rangers management? Didn't think so, now sit down and drink your juice box
Send him to Minnesota, Seattle, Dallas, Columbus Nashville or Florida
Buffalo have lost so much leverage in trading him. I don't think they are going to get as much for him as they would have last year. They are going to be forced to sell low on him, Sam, and Risto. They are going to have to overpay like crazy to keep Ulmark around and he might just wanna leave like others.
Come to montreal please. Eichel vs Matthews regularly would make everything so enjoyable. give them KK, danault, tatar, chariot, prospects and a draft pick. blow it up please. if anything give them guhle, brooke or fleury prospects. or even poehling
Respect
As much as I would love to see this kid in a Rangers jersey...it would just cost way too much. That Krieder deal last year is really killing me...sure he was great on the power play other than that he was absent most of the time.
It literally won’t lol it’s worth it trust me you don’t get a franchise center everyday... let alone at 24
@@NYREnthusiast Bro it would prolly cost Laf/Kakko/Fox and a couple of 1st...they could probably trade Nils/Kakko with a couple of picks as well but who knows.
@@adamwade8801 I’m thinking it’s gonna be strome, kravstov,Lundkvist, Robertson, a first and a second.
He is part of the union they agreed to a CBA. He makes 10 million a year on contract he signed.
The team has Jeff Skinner at 9mil per for 6 more seasons, plus Okposo for another 2yrs@6mil each. Eichel doesn't want any part of this mess...
@@12klock Probably, but after Skinner locked in a long-term contract he probably didn't care anymore cuz he's set for life. Lol
This is a broken man. Please trade Eichel to a competently run team. He can't continue to suffer like this.

sell the team, trade Ike for dubnyk and sheiflle. must include skinner as a bag of pucks. (darn expensive one tho)
