Vegas won the trade good luck with Alex tuch when he underperforms

And Eichel with Vegas Knights won the Stanley Cup. Sabres couldn't make it to the playoffs. Bad team and management. Eichel is better off with great and contender team.

Lol true, so many times he stopped mid play bc he missed a shot or would refuse to hustle off ice creating shitty line changes. One of the worse captains ever but has insane talent

Toews supports sexual assault. F the Hawks!

lmao best player buffalo has gotten in 20+ years and you call him trouble 😂 the organization was and is in shambles, O'Reilly left hating hockey and went on to win a cup and conn smythe with the blues. He didnt use his neck to force a trade dummy, neck fusion is incredibly neck mobility and needs to be reopened every 10 years. Disc replacement is experimental in the NHL but widely practiced out side of it and is far healthier. Get your head out of your stinker you dork.

Nah, literally so many starters are out of the line up... I think like 30m+ out of the line up. Definitely not Eichel lol

@@AznKorn8 well they are like 15m over the cap

@@cody8385 I just checked, even deducting the 15m, its still well over 20m+. Nothing to do with Eichel. This team is just ravaged with injury ALL season to key players. Literally dropping like flies lol

@@AznKorn8 he’s got 6 5 on 5 points as a first liner. Your best player can’t have 6 even strength points in 19 games or however many he has.

@@cody8385 Yah but it doesnt help that half the teams most important players are injured.. lol. Blame doesn't belong on Eichel, not his fault this team is losing or playing like shit.

The media biased? No! They are objective!

Look I’ve been watching hockey since I was nine years old and played, I’m 51 now. You hit all the talking points right on the head. He’s a me guy, not captain material, leaders like drury, lead by example, the only thing he could lead is a line of coke up his nose. His interview right after this game was just another statement to his maturity, and how’s it’s everybody else’s fault, not mine. Ive never heard anyone from the Sabres organization ever come out publicly and criticize a player openly; that is until eichel. You hear former players talk about how he treated other players not his caliber, or staff. Man how I wish we could go back in time and actually win the first pick like we should have, and not hear from this loser. Since his return to hockey, the knights are 4-7 with loses to the Sabres, flyers, coyotes, and kings being the best of those 4. They are pulling a kucherov so he can play because of his talent, and sitting stone. I honestly hope they don’t make the playoffs. I wasn’t salty with briere or drury leaving, we do have problems with ownership, going back a ways. The pegulas thought they could run it like a fantasy team according to gerbe. That chemistry means way more then just talent in the room.

They also d-ked him around for the whole summer and danced around how to *fairly* address his medical situation, nobody should be coerced into a anything medical procedure wise captain or no f-king captain, I mean they treated him less then human towards the and refuse to even acknowledge alternatives…I mean if COVID taught us anything haha 😄🤷🏼‍♂️

*I’m not doin’ a fusion* -I’m glad he stuck to his guns regardless of what his status on the team was or was not, I deeply respect the kid for that…f-k the organization! ✋🏻 😄👋🏻

He did it to one team hell do it again

@@C-G585 Yeah but-one team didn’t leave him in the lurch for an entire summer…shame on the organization for being retarded! 🤦🏼‍♂️😄

Perfectly summed up

The decade long losers Buffalo. Any sport. Is happy they lost eichel To achieve such greatness with out him. Ha ha ha ha. Fucking losers. Vegas is stoked to have him. We will be competing for the cup AGAIN. Buffalo are busy polishing their golf clubs. Losers.

He asked for a trade after going through a rebuild with the team with things looking like they were heading for another. If that's what happened he'd have been playing for a bottom team through two rebuilds for the prime of his career. I don't blame him for wanting a change.

@@jamesk4181 when you talk about horrible organizations like the Sabres... there is no such thing as a rebuild. That's what they tell the ticket buyers.

@@weeknders we have one of the best franchise records in the league since coming in... without the last 10 years we are 3rd in winning %. But sure, horrible franchise.

Spot on!

That trade sucked for Buffalo!

@@HarrisonHollers Buffalo got rid of the cancer Eichel is.

@@markwojtulski74 you still have your owners. Same cancer

@@HarrisonHollers enjoy your coffee

Look at the team he was playing with during his entire career in buffalo.

He clearly has some attitude problems, but idk how anyone can question his talent. 82 points in 77 games in 2019, 78 points in 68 games in 2020. How many other players could’ve put up those numbers in back to back seasons while playing one of the worst offensive teams in the league?

He was literally on one of the worst teams in the league dude are you blind?

You clearly don’t know shit about hockey if you think Jack Eichel isn’t a good hockey player or if he was the problem in Buffalo.

@@goldenknights3616 Good Luck!

You do understand that the Pegulas are 100% the reason the Sabres are a giant dumpster fire still right? Namely Kim who has ZERO clue on how to run a hockey team. How well do you expect Jack to perform when his lines are changed up every single game? Was his nearly point per game stats not good enough for you? Don't comment if you're clueless

@@PlumpHotdog Kim isn’t involved with the team. That’s all terry

@@PlumpHotdog such a dumpster fire, once they came in, they spent millions on locker improvements to help players jell better. They brought in top named free agent, they hired a ex Stanley cup winning coach(only to have eichel get him fired)then they were lauded at the time for hiring housley and botterill by all these so called hockey experts. Have they made mistakes, obviously. But like the bills, they keep trying. It’s not a exact science to hiring the right front office, otherwise everyone would do it. Just like drafting isn’t a exact science. If we listened to a lot of the so called experts, we wouldn’t have drafted Allen on the bills. Just like life, you hope to learn from your mistakes, I would like to think they are. I think Kevin has finally shown this team the direction it lacked in all areas of operation. And we have steadily seen improvement in a lot of areas. I don’t absolve them for their mistakes, I ask that they learn and change them. But as far as jack, I could write u a book on all his character flaws, and his “me” attitude. Just look at the first coach he got fired here, because it was his fault they were losing. Everything is everyone else’s fault. And just because you put up a point a game, doesn’t mean u are a winner. Drury was never the highest scorer on the team, but he was a winner, and led by example. The Sabres brought in lehner, Kane, orielly, to name a few to turn it around. Didn’t matter, because when u don’t play together u lose. It isn’t by chance that since he started playing for vegas that the knights are 4-7, and lost to the likes of the flyers, coyotes, Sabres, and kings. So Mayb u need to not comment unless u know what your talking about. Judging by that comment you made, sounds like your eicheless.

@@deliriousgeorge2879 She is the PRESIDENT of Hockey operations, you really are delirious. She has everything to do with the team you mook

@@toddheywood8837 Continuity, you go through that many coaches and players nothing with gel. And come off with that Eichel got the coaches fired BS, they got fired because they weren't producing results. But instead of actually cleaning house top to bottom in the front office, Kim Pegula tried to put bandaids on things and hire people to please fans because she has no clue on how to run a hockey team. Again, Eichel was a PPG player, on a team that couldn't get out of their own way.

I had know idea what was the case. Well said.

Yup, he also demanded a trade b4 surgery talks which is the whole reason for a dispute over the surgery

I don't, we're playing a lot better without him. He was crappy to fans, and crappy towards teammates

Wayyy louder when we drafted Dahlin

this. doesnt have a leadership bone in his body. still a top 10 MAYBE top 5 player in the show; but I'm glad hes gone. Enjoy the nose beers loser

They don’t suck collectively, but they have pooped on the Sabres.

Seymour Knox was a better owner. His franchise is a joke

Hey bud, eichel is a terrible leader and is honestly the biggest problem the last 7 years. I have inside knowledge, lets leave it at that.

@@ericfix0521 a terrible leader or an inexperienced freshly drafted superstar on a shit team with shit management and ownership? Not hard for a guys leadership to not develop and completely fall off when playing for a terrible team. This isn’t uncommon at all.

@@justinmillett101 valid point but being a crybaby that comes up with excuses for everything and bringing everdown around him is jack, a real man, puts it all on his shoulders and takes responsibility even when he isnt at fault. With his talent level the sky was the limit but when youre a spoiled bitch, this is how it ends and that's his nhl legacy at this point

😂

When you are the poster boy of one of the worst ran organizations in the league and EVERYONE BLAMES YOU for the team being bad it’s hard not to saunter, put yourself in his shoes, he was in a burning plane going to the ground at 1000 mph, he earned the right to saunter

@@Sonicthehedgefundmanager the thing is not one person was blaming eichel.. every single one of us fans knew he was the best player on the ice. He proved it when he was healthy and on the ice.

@@boborris1317 everyone was an exaggeration by me but I’ve seen buffalo fans take a crap on him, it’s definitely mixed reviews on eichel in buffalo.

Hey Kevin, i think the disconnect came way before that. He asked to b traded in 2020. He had bylsma run out of town, said it was the coaches fault, we brought in orielly, Kane, lehner. None of that made a difference. The pegulas spent a shit to. Of money on the upgrade of the locker rooms so players could connect more. The nhl lauded their hiring of housley and botterill at the time. I mean have they made their share of mistakes, yes. But just like with the bills, it’s a learning process. I’m 51 and never heard players come out and publicly state what a cancer this kid was to the organization(rivet, peters). Kevin adams a ex championship player, who treated hall to his wishes and shipped both him and stall to organizations that had a chance at playoffs. But they strip eichel of his captaincy, refuse to budge on his surgery(which I believe was another mistake by the organization)but again that was a narrative jacks camp wanted pushed because it absolved him of any wrong doing. I never seen drury say anything, he went out and played, he was never the leading scorer on the team. You don’t need to be the leading scorer to be a captain of a team. You need to lead by example. Jack isn’t capable of any of that, never was. He’s a spoiled little kid. That and only that is a reason I root for him to fail. Even if he was on another team and I found all this out, I would root against him. He’s so good he’s being paid 10 million a season, but they won’t put him out in all situation like penalty kill. Because he’s only worried about HIS stats. Well since he’s joined vegas on the ice, they are 4-7 and lost to the likes of (flyers, coyotes,Sabres, kings) kings being a half way decent team. All this leads to the character of this player, and none of it says he’s a good person. So I’m glad the Sabres didn’t budge on anything. I think they do for any other player who handles themselves with professionalism, just look at jacks post game comments last night.

@@toddheywood8837 The 6 years he was here, the team was shit-I think somebody should take accountability for that…our whole organization is backwards and dysfunctional Eichel wasn’t the first!

@@KHoltzie I agree someone should take accountability for that. You seen the Sabres try to bring in big name free agents, and trades, hire what at the time were deemed the best hires. At some point the emphasis lands on the players to produce. It seems no one on the Sabres has the leadership qualities to try to make everyone around them better. After olofsson scored yesterday, they showed a quick snippet of the bench, Tuch went right to him on the bench reached over the boards and grabbed his head and said something to him. That’s someone with leadership qualities. But as far as the injury situation, that’s dicey. Just imagine u own a business, u pay this one guy huge money to help lead your organization. He gets hurt, you know there’s really nothing out there scientifically substantial that validates the surgery. You let him have hit, he gets hit and loses feeling or something, your on the hook for 10 mill a year, for a player who will never play again, and u have nothing to show for it except a gaping hole on the ice, and a albatross of a contract with no return. I agree the players should have a right to receive what ever treatment they desire, but with that said, they then take on the responsibility of their contract. If the surgery works and u never get hurt there again, your good. But if you do re injure it, and can’t play, u lose how many games salary you miss; wether or not that could b the whole 10 mill or not. Why should the organization take the hit. I mean look how many teams had to trade Nathan Hortons contract, with zero return. And it shouldn’t count against the cap either.

@@toddheywood8837 A point per game player for 6 years and you don’t allow him any flexibility on his health/medical wishes-that’s garbage and the result of a very narrow minded organization in my opinion!

@@toddheywood8837 The kicker to me was that Adams didn’t even have the balls to f-king meet with the kid face to face-they called him on the telephone to tell em he’d been stripped of the captaincy…I mean seriously what kind of shit is that??? ✋🏻😄

Shout out Roam haha, he’s fun.

Roam also did a recent video that shows the current Sabres 23 & under at the start of next season is 13 (not Including Power, Levi, Johnson & Portillo) & that list also doesn't include Tage & Tuch (who are 24 & 25yo). Plus the Sabres have 10 other 2021 draft picks along with 3 1st round 2022 draft picks + just as many 2nd round draft picks.

Really ? You realize they are also the owners of the bills right? They have done a great job there ? Maybe it’s not the owners and maybe it’s the players in this case. The owners have invested a ton in the facilities and the team. Personally I think eichel rista and others that were removed from this era were toxic me players that didn’t work as a team

@@gregorygoliszek7613 You can't blame the players for being on a bad team, that's on management and the Pegulas who are notorious for meddling too much with everything.

@@maxrcrypto so do they meddle with the Bills? They own the teams....its their business. I think they are hands on...they like to be involved.

@@philipgibson9091 Well it's not working. They will miss the playoffs for the 11th straight year!

Great fans in Buffalo, and fans who really know the game.

Jackie boy made the playoffs and won the cup. How’s Buffalo doing 😂😂

@@Tombauer97 Yep. lol. Not even close to Vegas, that's for sure. They've got a great team.

I'm gonna guess you can't be objective. Hes a cancer and the most of the problems here in buffalo. Most ppl from buffalo loved him until they found out the truth.

I disagree. He wanted out of Buffalo and used this as his ticket to get out. If anything he was happy this happened so it could expedite the process. We Sabres fans are so happy he’s gone. The team still has a ways to go, but with him gone the culture of the team improved drastically.

@@gregtearny6644 I do agree that he wanted out because he requested a trade before the injury. the injury situation definetly made him want out more and gave him another reason to want out and that reason is easier to speak about in the media than whatever his reasons were before.

Vegas won the trade

Dahlin incoming

absolutely.. He was trying to force his way off the team. He thinks that is what a captain does? He is a whiny quitter.

@@abucelato Yep not going to the playoffw for 5 years and being very bad for most that and want a diff3rent surgery is whiny

@@theogreenaway7401 when you are the capitan on one of the highest contracts in the league and part of the problem... it's whining. Watch Sabres games before making general statements

That was not why he was stripped of it. According to Eichel it is, but he just wants to save face. That played a part sure, but him being a distraction and moreso him already (prior to this disagreement) saying he wanted to be out of Buffalo is what did it. Fantastic talent, terrible captain.

THE LEASON I WANT YOU TO LEARN IS THINK OF THE POSITVE!

Also when you have such great fans like us do not ditch us Eichel!

Josh Allen is in a whole different league than Jack Eichel…. Literally

Druged?

@@canadianroot Jack did naughty things to max boy growing up.

Its in the CBA. Maybe that should be addressed, but the players agreed to it. Those are the rules. Eichel knew it.

there’s actually a report where Josh allen completely denied another commercial with eichel and told pegulas to not ask again

Preferably to Quebec

Hamilton

There’s much more to the story than this is telling. Enjoy him in Vegas and I wish the best for him, but the majority of Sabres fans are so glad he’s gone
