Don't kid yourself -- Skinner knows the value of playing on Eichel's line...he's going to want to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know live in northern NJ; 25 miles from Central Park. NJ allows sports betting. So when you download draft kings, it gives you the option to make an actual bet. The first time was against the Pats. I took the Evil Empire -13.5 assuming a blowout. I ended up winning. Anyway, I just bet $100 on Sabres to win the eastern conference. $100 pays $4,000. You should have kept the money in your pocket and use it for a nice dinner. At least it could have been used to satisfy your tummy instead of it vanishing for such a long shot improbability.

What if the value of playing on Eichel's line is the fat 7 year contract it could earn him on the open market? The only thing that guarantees is skating with Eichel during his contract year.

The only thing that guarantees is skating with Eichel during his contract year. Wherever he decides to go he is going to get his money. It's all about the comps i.e. the numbers. After listening to him on the radio one major advantage he has in this location is that his family can come to the games and be accessible. From the WGR interview that seems to be an important issue for him. With the two additions of Hutton and Skinner for an insignificant price the GM changed the dynamic of the team with these two impacting players. It's obvious to say that that our GM did a terrific job in reworking the roster. Without question Jack is our star player. By surrounding him with better talent the organization will get an even bigger return from him. It really is a refreshing change to now follow a team that is playing for something more than its draft position. The abused fans certainly deserved this change of fate. .

Don't water down the regular season like it used to be! 5 hours ago, shrader said: The building is definitely mic'ed strangely. I remember back at the home opener I was watching to see what kind of reaction Eichel would get on the heels of being named the captain. On tv, that reaction sounded exactly the same as for every other introduction that night. Now maybe it was tepid, but I have a hard time believing that the crowd reacted exactly the same way to Eichel as they did to whichever of the Nelson/Beaulieu combo was playing that night. And, it seems like radio has the crowd mic'd up almost too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This link is Paul Hamilton being interviewed by Sal C on WGR. It is a little longer than 18 mins. Paul follows the team and has a good bead on the hockey team. His style is usually very candid but he has a non-scathing style when talking about the Sabres. https://wgr550.radio.com/media/audio-channel/11-15-paul-hamilton-sal-capaccio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The link is a WGR segment with Kevin Oklobzia commenting about Rochester prospects.It is about 20 mins. long. There are a number of players who are not far from being ready. He speaks highly of the Swede prospects but not so much about Nylander. https://wgr550.radio.com/media/audio-channel/11-15-kevin-oklobzija-schopp-bulldog 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another attribute that I like about Paul Hamilton is that he is not reluctant to say that his original assessment about a player or team is wrong. He does it all the time. There is nothing flashy about him. He's a solid sports reporter with hockey being his strongest sport. I'm sure that his leaning toward the sport has to do with the fact that he played the sport in college at Iowa State. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
