4merper4mer Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Eichel signed yet?? Weather has been good and J-Bot's iron play is really coming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted September 28, 2017 Share 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. Â 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 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Â Update. Â 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. Â I forgot to mention that NHL CI includes an authorization to watch games via NHL TV.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 29, 2017 Share 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... Â 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.

No reason to read into that, however further discussions could be shelved until next summer. Â 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?

Signing anything short of the max term is a huge gamble. It's easier to make that choice when it's only a 1 year gamble, but it's much more risky when it is 4. There's way too much that can happen. He'll sign for 8 years and won't think twice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Â Nine years in Buffalo including this one. Even better. He's going to be insane this season. He's one of those few guys in any sport that has insane talent and the overachiever gene and drive to be better, to be the best and to prove people wrong. I think he has the Brady and Thurman fire in his belly to prove everyone wrong, and that he's as good as McDavid, even if he's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nice! Â I was hoping for the AAV to come in under $10M, but I figured that wasn't all that realistic on an 8yr deal, half of those being UFA years. Â Thrilled to have Eichel in Buffalo for 9 more years!
