I also hate that we spent two years sucking to get talent, and our strategy seems to be very conservative boring hockey. not cool.

      perhaps, but it isn't working. asking Ror to be out there for what seems to be every other shift is insanity. some kids are going to just have to grow up, or we are going to have to make a trade to shakeit up. which irealize is awful because no one is performing well enough to get any value. Ennis is definitely shot. he looks small, he looks to have lost his hands and the afinagenov moniker fits. they look really very slow.

        I wouldn't mind seeing ennis moved, TBH. I had hopes he would bounce back, but so far....

          Some hockey writers believe Eichel will take the rest of the year to recover fully and he will not have a good year when he returns. Which sounds realistic. Yuck. Bad year

            What value does he have though? We have enough picks and prospects. We need someone who can contribute now and no one is going to give that up for Ennis.

              Oh wonderful. Is there anyone in the draft worth tanking for?

                Blame it on the IDIOT BETTMAN and the stupid WORLD CUP! it was another game that didn't really mean anything just like the ALL STAR GAME! it was just another MEANINGLESS GAMES TO LINE THE NHL'S POCKETS if the stupid games weren't played the season would have started at the start of October and Jack probably wouldn't have suffered the injury.

                  Blame it on the IDIOT COMMISIONER BETTMANN ONCE AGAIN THIS IS WHY HE SHOULD BE FIRED! THE STUPID WORLD CUP WAS HIS IDEA! it was another game that didn't really mean anything just like the ALL STAR GAME! AND THE HERITAGE GAME AND THE WINTER CLASSIC, THE WORLD CUP WERE MEANINGLESS GAMES TO LINE THE NHL'S POCKETS if the stupid WORLD CUP games weren't played the season would have started in the frst week of October and Jack probably wouldn't have suffered the injury because the Sabres would have either had an off day or a game that night. it's just not me that feels this way a lot of coaches around the NHL feel this way ask Chicago's coach Joel Quinville or Pittsburgh's head coach Mike Sullivan.

                    Wtf are you rambling about? The international hockey federation runs the World Cup, not Bettman. And Eichel got injured in a Sabres preseason practice, not a World Cup game. There is no reasonable way to conclude that the WC had anything to do with Eichel getting hurt.

                    And while I do think Bettman is an idiot, it has nothing to do with trying to line the NHL's pockets. That's a big part of his job as commish. The Heritage Classic and Winter Classic are a bit gimmicky, but they increase the profile of the league and draw attention from people who don't usually watch hockey. It's exactly what he should be doing.

                      The World Cup of Hockey is organized by the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA), unlike the annual World Ice Hockey Championships.

                      NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced the 2016 World Cup of Hockey to be held in September 2016 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto
