I just hope we don't give the kid we draft a jersey three sizes too big like we did Reinhart on draft day.

So when we see the McDavid-Crosby level impact comparisons, what's Eichel? Like I obviously know he's great and all but is he Ovechkin tier/Malkin tier/Stamkos tier/ etc?

Last week Craig Button said that that Connor McDavid aside, Jack Eichel is the best prospect since 2005. Think about that. Button is saying that he's better than Tavares, Stamkos, McKinnon, etc. I know it's Craig Button, but he got pissed off at one of the TSN 1050 hosts when they tried to compare Eichel to Strome. He said Strome is going to be a very good player, but he's not even in the same ball park as Eichel (and McDavid obviously).

 

[MagnumForce2]

Oh yeah, what number is your Eichel going to have. What if Murray somehow makes the splash from 2 to 1 at the draft.

Just a couple things to think about! Go ahead and fire up that McDavid 97 on April 18th if we win the lotto tough.

If he chooses 9, he has big shoes or skates to fill....Roy, Ott and Varada to name a few.

Evander Kane is 9, his favorite number 11 is retired. He's also worn 12, 15, 18 and 46 in international play.

Out of those I like 15 the best, but it wouldn't really surprise me if he picked a number he has never worn before like 91 or something, that number seems to be really popular for young star centers. I personally love any number in the 90's

Kane has 9

 

[BakedBuffalo]

Eichel may choose 15, he's used that at the international level.

 

[CaptPantalones]

Same !

Actually, could someone start a poll about getting a new Sabres jersey??

I am only getting a new jersey if the Sabres get Eichel or McDavid. 100%

Who is is getting a new jersey? McDavid only? either one?

What if we get Strome / Marner?

I got an ott jersey after buying a Roy and having the name changed. I'm having it changed to Kane since I lruposely left it without a captains letter.

I also have a grigorenko

I like 15, but 97 fills out the jersey sooooo nicely.

 

[DazedandConfused]

I like 15, but 97 fills out the jersey sooooo nicely.

96 would suit him nicely, with it being his birth year.

but everyone knows that 91s do it best.

 

[Zip15]

It's going to be amazing to see how many McDavid jerseys are sold if the Sabres win the lottery. I'd imagine they'll be back-ordered. I wonder what percentage of the crowd would be wearing it on Opening Night next year. 50%? More?

I agree, I think it would look great on a jersey too.

Eichel would make any number look good, but 96 would be pretty slick.

just looked it up and only 5 players have ever worn 96..that's hard to believe with all the love for the nascar numbers these days

I forgot about Kane...I guess he has the big shoes to fill

"Pick 69!! It'll be HILARIOUS!!"


And I loved Varada growing up. Best name. Vaclav Varada. Loved it

Murray: It's very close between McDavid/Eichel (10:21)

3/30/15 - TSN 1200: Buffalo Sabres GM Tim Murray joins AJ during the 2nd intermission to talk 67s/Ice Dogs, Travis Konecny and the NHL Draft.

_30-40% of all jerseys worn that night is my guess

Marner's doing Marner things, I hope Sportsnet picks up a game soon now that he is playing in the middle. That's where I liked him the most.

 

[EichHart]

Marner has 2 Goals 4 Assists and a +3. I think he is an absolutely dynamic talent from the games I've seen him play. 11 pts in 3 games in the playoffs so far.

I think he's up to 5 points now for the game (2g 3a), and 11 for the series which is almost 3 games deep now. I want him at 3 if that's where we are picking

Have we heard of Murray being at any London games?

6 now but Kitchener is a pretty bad team as well.

I haven't heard anything but really hope he's seen him. The kid is incredible.
