Wonder if this is a result of someone talking to Eichel about what he wants to see. |

The problem as far as how this effects Eichel is that this does not seem like a move to achieve immediate success and if they are doing it for immediate success they appear to be doing it wrong. |

They went from something like 21 staff to 7 in the scouting department. I think Eichel's next communique with the Pegulas will be a trade request. |

I meant they asked why he has essentially said he wants out, they asked why, and he MAY have said something about Botterill not drafting well or talent not being developed well. Maybe. He's a legit franchise player and is clearly frustrated. I think they'd make some of these moves to show him they're trying to improve. |

Ha ha, they said they mistakenly fired the IT guy and hired him back. |

Sabres add Eric Staal from Minny, with Marcus Johansson going the other way. Staal will provide some leadership up the middle after Eich. They needed a 2C and Staal is still that for a little while longer. |

If E. Staal has anything left in the tank then this is a good deal for them (and pretty much a full admission that trading ROR for almost literally nothing and rushing Mittelstadt was a really bad idea). I don’t get this from Minnesota’s perspective unless they’re trading Dumba for center help. |

Strikes me as an OK 3C or a versatile winger. |

What in the actual fuck is Minny doing? Staal makes $1.25M LESS than MJ. Eric Staal is the far better player and both are on expiring deals. Is there something I'm missing outside of an irrational Minny love for MJ? There is absolutely nothing about this from Minny's perspective that makes sense. |

They should have been able to actually get something versus taking on a more expensive, worse, albeit younger player. |

Yep. He didn't know and definitely didn't ask. Quote: 1. It was a smart move by Buffalo, although Staal, who is building a retirement home in Minnesota, was completely caught by surprise — and disappointed he found out when his phone blew up. (In case anyone was worried he wouldn’t report, I’m told that’s not happening — he’s going to play.) The Sabres were not on his 10-team no-trade list, I think, because he didn’t expect them to be a pursuer. Staal turned down multiple trade ideas in the past two seasons (Boston was one), all from contenders. Buffalo didn’t fit the mold of teams eying him, but he’s exactly what the Sabres need. A No. 2 centre and some support for Jack Eichel, who can’t be thrilled with reports of a $70-million payroll. Buffalo is also investigating upgrading its goalie options. I don't understand how you couldn't even fucking pick up the phone to tell him before the news became public. I don't care how fast news travels, that' just laziness on the part of Guerin. |

Dominik Kahun non tendered. Pretty wild, the silly season is truly upon us. |

Why wouldn't you qualify him? Unless they succeed in signing him for cheaper before FA starts, this seems like a big mistake. Sabres are one of the few teams getting slagged a little for their draft. Went with arguably the purest scorer in Quinn with their first pick. Personally I don't think it was a whiff, I mean, if he's the single best pure scorer how can that be a big miss? |

Buffalo somehow gets Hall for a year at 8M. |

Just a super-odd decision. Whatever, Avs inquired but obviously didn't get much traction, so they went another route. |

Not even sure why he would bother only to do it again next year...not exactly committing to Buffalo |
