Re: [RUMOR] Buffalo signing Eichel's linemate from college
I have so many thoughts running through my head after reading through this post.
First, who the hell is Rodriguez? Never heard of him before reading this thread, but I am intrigued.
Second, 1st line minutes for a kid I never heard of? Stranger things have happened, I suppose, but it is rare for any rookie to get top line minutes, especially one I've never heard of before.
Third, I agree with the comment that someone made earlier that Murray should be doing everything he can to make Eichel feel comfortable after the comments he made after losing the lottery. This seems like a good step in that direction.
Fourth, Auston Matthews anyone? One way for Buffalo to quickly forget about losing out on McDavid would be having Eichel and Matthews on the same team for 15 years. That'd be scary good, and Buffalo will surely be in a lottery position again next year, even if they don't tank on purpose again.
