The team is way more likeable without him on it. The dynamics of the team with him as the captain must have been awful. Can't help but think about what could have been had we won the lottery after the tank. It should have been McDavid's prime we wasted with 7 years of futility!!!

As much as it must hurt to come back and lose a game that Vegas needed badly he needed to just grit his teeth and throw out the cliches: "they were the better team out there tonight and deserved to win but I have to do better" "they have a great fanbase here and they were really behind them tonight and I think it gave them an extra lift" you know ***** that nobody actually believes but the smart players say it anyway. Instead we got pouty whiny Jack on full display. He never was and never will be a leader despite all that talent. Spot on. I couldn’t believe he leaned in like that. I thought the quotes were fake until I saw the video, which was somehow worse. He just seems extremely immature and unprofessional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been McDavid's prime we wasted with 7 years of futility!!! True, though Edmonton hasn't done a lot with McDavid either... It takes more than a few super stars---and Eichel is a LONG way away from the "generational talent" he was rumored to be. He's probably the 10th best center in the league (or so). Damn fine player, good for 1.3 points per game. Can do a lot of winning with a guy like that, but to think of him as by far the best draft prospect in 20 years, as it turns out, is laughable.... PS: He's right with what he said about that being the loudest game in Buffalo that he ever heard. That building has been SILENT with the worst atmosphere in the league for over a decade now. I and hundreds of other Sabres fans have been bitching about this at Sabres forums since long before we drafted Eichel. Sure, he didn't "say the right thing" but I applaud him for speaking his mind. He's a no-bull#### kind of guy. I still can't believe we traded away by far our 2 best players (Eichel and Reinhart) and thought that would make the team better somehow.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s literally all BS off the ice. If the Sabres had landed McDavid maybe the completely inept Murray still screws it up……probably even…….but maybe the locker room isn’t so toxic that guys like ROR have to leave. It’s hard to separate some of this stuff but one thing is for sure……Eichel is good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
