No but we are not getting a Nash like return either
- sbroads24

So you say, what makes you think they move any of the big 3 ? I bet they don't.

Better. gets better the less Sabres games we play.

ya i hear ya. BTW im done with the site for awhile so lets talk on here

we have Porter and Hecht playing center now.....thus my disagreement.
- Homer

Any rumblings of anything yet Homer? I know the GM meetings are Wednesday in Toronto.

You don't give away guys like Vanek, Pommer and Miller, say what you want but they are very good or some would say elite players and you put them on a cup contending team and they become top of the line or elite players.
- SABRES 89

I don't think anyone is denying how good they are but can you not agree there needs to be a new direction of the team????? 8 years we've had to watch them and nothing to show for it. I'm not saying give them away but I'm saying put them on the trading block.

I can't take it anymore.
- SABRES 89

I said the other day .even if we got the 1st 3 pics this team would still suck for 3 more years .

When Pomminville got named captain, no one was like 'oh man Stanley Cup here we come'. It wasn't a horrible decision but its stymied progress as far as building the team.
- Buffalo--Sabres

People continue to make too much out of the Captain C. I would say it means more to the fans then the players.

Agree to disagree is that ok, I got a headache with this already.

3 years that's all? we are already 2 years back.

Vanek - 3 goals in his last 15 games. We don't need his disappearing acts annually any longer. He needs to go IMO
- sbroads24

again, body of work matters a lot more than 15 games.

some yes, but nothing concrete.

And yet be mediocre for years to come. They ARE the problem with this team. Attitude, complacency, lack of fear for their jobs. You can keep interchanging the bottom 6 and bottom 4 pairings, and backup goalies all you want. They have done it since 07. It hasn't worked. They need huge changes, not just a new captain.

According to Eklunds "rumblings" We could be trading Miller to Philly!

you people that are giving guys away like Vanek, Miller and Pommer for nothing but picks need serious help, are you for real? Earlier I read we should trade Ott as well? what the hell is going on here? You don't trade away those guys for NOTHING. So say if we get 1 of the top 3 picks, you really think this team will be better after all the trades we made? get real it will be worse. 1 guy and 5 picks doesn't change a team, it sets it back 5 more years.
- SABRES 89

You definitely can and should get more for those guys. The point, though, is that they need to be moved. 8 years of winning nothing with this group is too long.

He's been horrible lately.

29 for Brian Gionta
26 for Couturier

Leo and Regehr HAVE to be "out there."

Is Vanek 26?
Well that's a fair trade future wise for u guys, and is a 100% win for us right now, but sorry we don't want Vaneks salary, and not sure he'd fit in our team... He'd be on our 2nd line and at wouldn't fly with him lol...

so has 75% of the team
- Homer

Yes but him and Pominville wear letters, and if from what I have read on here, they should be leading by example... Off with their heads

I think it's just a matter of getting the right offer. Darcy sticks to his guns when he values his guys, and that could be the delay..

Stafford also wears a letter

I think it goes without saying at this point that he needs to leave
