Blues Want Eichel

idk if anyone still thinks hes untouchable tho ngl i agree he's been super injury prone since coming to buffalo and honestly its like we traded a guy we knew was fragile

@section114buf yea that fragile thing kinda stuck dont think anyone expected him to be a ghost all these years but we still gotta make do now i guess

@section114buf gotta stop beating around the bush now though man, we all know hes going to get moved eventually

@Sabres71 i know wut u mean, idk how much longer we gotta be patient man its been way too long for me

@sam_sabres idk man patience is a virtue and all but we've been saying that for years tbh its getting harder to swallow

@sam_sabres i feel u bro hes been a ghost for way too long now it's starting to feel like we got fleeced

@section114buf patience is a virtue but it's been 5 years man, i'm starting to think that's just code for "we're stuck with him

5 years is a long time but idk if that's enough reason to say we're stuck w/him man, maybe its just been a bad fit for him tbh

@Sabres71 i think thats the problem its not just about fit, he's been given every opportunity to succeed and still cant stay on the ice ngl it gets frustrating when ppl say patience

yeah im with u @SabresNation cant stay on the ice thats a major concern for me man hes been getting paid to be healthy and its just not happening ngl its time to face reality

i think hes still worth more than we could get for him in a trade right now man, might as well hold on and see if anything changes tbh.

@Sabres71 i think we gotta be honest with ourselves, holding on for potential upside when he cant even stay healthy anymore makes no sense man

i think u hit the nail on the head man, when u can't even be a regular presence on the ice thats a huge concern, ngl we need depth at center anyway and holding onto eichel for the sake of it isn't fair to the rest of the team @section114buf has a point tho that his value is still pretty high right now

idk how much we could get for him now tho, think eichel is already priced himself out of a trade tbh @sam_sabres might as well explore options while theyre still somewhat favorable man

i think you're selling him short, still a top-6 center even when healthy, and some team is gonna pay up for that tbh @sam_sabres got some great points about his play tho

tbh i think youre right still a top-6 center but that aint helping us much if hes only gonna play like 60 games out of the year man ngl we need more from our centers than just one healthy player @section114buf

i get where u're comin from @sam_sabres but don't know if we can find anyone better than eichel in return, think we'd be takin a huge risk lettin him walk for nothing like that man
