plenzmd1 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Can't even imagine what Eichel gets after the contract Pastrnak and the Edmonton kid got. Pastrnak was $6.6 for 6 years, hitting unrestricted free agency at 27. 70 pts in 75 games McDavid was $12.5 for 8 years, 100pts in 82 games. Majority of his money coming every July in form of bonus, so does not lose a year of earning if lockout hits. Hit unrestricted two years later than earliest possible. I wonder if the holdup on Eichel is amount of money they are going to pay as bonus, as sound like both sides expect a max term contract of 8 years.

I wonder if the holdup on Eichel is amount of money they are going to pay as bonus, as sound like both sides expect a max term contract of 8 years. I assumed the "Edmonton kid" was Leon Draisaitl? He had 77 pts in 82 games (signed 8 years @ 8.5 avg) and my guess is Jack is somewhere between him and McD. Closer to the Draisaitl money.

O'Reilly: http://bufsabres.co/mDNHvO McCabe: http://bufsabres.co/rGppq9 @JourdonLaBarber Phil Housley said that both Alex Nylander & Sean Malone are week-to-week at this point. #Sabres @BuffaloSabres Phil Housley said Thur. that he intends to try Sam Reinhart at his natural position in the preseason.

It's looking like Gorges could be fighting for a spot in this team. @SabresPR The Sabres have announced the team's 2017 preseason broadcast schedule. https://sabresdigitalpressbox.com/2017/09/15/sabres-announce-2017-preseason-broadcast-schedule/ A full broadcast schedule for the team's preseason can be found below: Sept. 18 - 7 p.m. vs. Carolina - Radio: WGR 550 (Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray) // TIckets On Sale Now Sept. 19 - 7 p.m. vs. Pittsburgh* - Radio: WGR 550 (Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray) Sept. 22 - 7:30 p.m. at Toronto** - Radio: WGR 550 (Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray) Sept. 23 - 7 p.m. vs. Toronto - TV: MSG (Sportsnet feed) / Radio: WGR 550 (Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray) // Tickets On Sale Now Sept. 27 - 7 p.m. at Pittsburgh - TV: MSG / WGR 550 (Rick Jeanneret and Rob Ray) Sept. 29 - 7 p.m. vs. NY Islanders - TV: MSG / WGR 550 (Rick Jeanneret and Rob Ray) // Tickets On Sale Now * Game at Pegula Ice Arena, State College, Pennsylvania ** Game at Ricoh Coliseum, Toronto, Ontario I wonder if there's going to be any way to watch any of those first 3 preseason games.

TPS Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Phil Housley said Thur. that he intends to try Sam Reinhart at his natural position in the preseason. Camp Notebook: http://bufsabres.co/hBkjU2 i sure hope this happens. The guy tore it up at world juniors for Canada, then Bylsma puts him at wing.

I don't think you can read much of anything into that. The pairing are pretty random and it's reasonable to think that the most seasoned guy is going to see less time in camp.

BillsFan4 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I don't think you can read much of anything into that. The pairing are pretty random and it's reasonable to think that the most seasoned guy is going to see less time in camp. I agree, it's way too early to read too much into it. But I still found it a bit surprising. He was the only guy from last year's blue line that I seen so far down the depth chart like that. All the other vets were higher in the lineup, so I don't think it had anything to do with seasoned guys seeing less time. Also, IMO I'd think that Housley would want the guys he sees as his starters getting as much time practicing this new system as possible. Usually, from what I've seen in the past, those guys on the 4th defensive pair are usually the guys that don't have much chance of making the lineup. They usually out the long shots down there. I honk it's way too early to say that about Gorges, but it's worth paying attention to IMO. Here was group B's defensive pairs - 6 Marco Scandella - 47 Zach Bogosian 41 Justin Falk - 93 Victor Antipin 82 Nathan Beaulieu - 5 Matt Tennyson 79 Vojtech Budik - 54 Brycen Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Good to hear this. @pham1717 They're scrimmaging and I can't remember seeing a pace like this in a Sabres practice. It's two lines each team and they are going fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I feel like people haven't been too crazy about it, but I like the thought of Pominville with Eichel. He was always a smart player who found the right places and had a shot to match that. He seems like the type that could be perfect at finally putting some of those perfect Eichel passes in the net.
