that little rat punk is the last person I want to see in Buffalo.

Agreed. If the Sabres were looking to win now, which they really aren't, then I'd be all for Marchand. However, any real value that guy would provide comes 3 years down the road. There's no guarantee he'd still be here let alone effective.

I'd take Cheechoo over Marchand right now...

I know everyone loves thr prospects we have, including myself. but not all of these guys are going to turn out. We are not going to operate at 100% efficiency.

If there are known guys that are available that can produce at a 20/20 level. Buffalo needs to look at them.

Nurse, klefbom, marincin. Schultz and even petry aint old eithet.
Virtually no bluechip forward prospects.

I think u missed the boat again. One could certainly make a case that edm's depth on the backend is better than floridas

on your point earlier, morreale mentioned draisaitl as a winger, and I've read where both he and Bennett are projected to be on the wing...no big deal, though...

thx for the reed

Marchand does not cause you to skyrocket up the W/L chart. He is just another good piece to help build an all around team.

yup.. new favorite goalie in our system!!

sweet mask...second only to your avatar

We honestly don't need more than 5 FA signings in total for the next 2/3 years IMO. Just play the kids and let them develop together.

I've resigned myself to the idea that they want veterans in here to mentor the youth. I personally think the value of a bunch of washed up mostly "never were's" teaching younger players how to make it in the NHL is grossly overstated, but whatever. As long as there are no new contracts of over 3 years, I can live with it.

I look to what tallon is doing in florida...he stripped it down and filled the team with those players you mentioned and is rebuilding through the draft

Wait,...

does this mean we will not get to see the rest of Augello's list of epic Sabres goals!?!?!?

Probably just another fraud account like SFO lurking these boards and just taking everything and turning it into a rumour.

Could you imagine Tortorella and Nolan on one coaching staff? Grigorenko would be on the next flight to Moscow.

Just a hunch but I think Murray will hire Richardson, knows him well and apparently did a good job in binghamton.

IMO we have that in Compher

I called this after he got fired from Vancouver...I know Ramsay wanted to come back but only after Darcy was gone.

I don't think Peca wants it just yet.

- CaptainRivet

Have the strange feeling that he's going to hold out and go thru UFA a la Schultz.

got a new GM.....and there goes Bylsma

Tortorella is everything you don't want for a rebuild.

I agree! Especially with a strong personality in Nolan there, but imagine the beautiful press conferences
