That's called "secret tanking." ...."I don't know what to tell you, Mr. Bettman. I put the best players available on the ice."

The ‪#‎AHL‬ has suspended Trevor Gillies 12 games for slamming ‪#‎Sabres‬ prospect William Carrier's head on the ice.

I thought he only got one game?

Ted Nolan: couldn't be a better coach to get us Connor McDavid.

Murray's best signing by far.

The effort today was pathetic.

12 shots? They should get 12 shots by accident!
- grand-magus

Maybe they don't like to play in the afternoon...

Honestly, I would take him over AJ Green and Antonio Brown. He's getting his personal life straightened out too, that's great for the team. I hope we get Amari Cooper with the Bills pick and tear it up next year.

Agree on that.He a beast and in my opinion the future looks bright for our team unless they blow it up forcing the next Doug Flutie into the lineup.

The Panthers are playing tonight............did anyone tell the people in Florida?
- SABRES 89

Soon to be the Quebec Panthers ?

Speaking of.What impressive moves has TM made since hes been here ? Still waiting on one of them to show me something including the first round pick over one of the talented top 2 wingers.

Its called secretly sucking.I doubt Z and Enroth go out on the ice to lose in fact I doubt the majority of the players go to the rink to lose games. They don't give a poopt about the upcoming draft their playing for contracts or be traded.

Benoit and Mezaros...oh my bad..

Reinhart has had every opportunity to prove he is better than these bunch of bums...not even close - back to junior

Just curious, why are you a Browns fan? I don't meet too many others outside of Cleveland.

8 months and 3 days was the limit. He's now overdue!!

Idk if I was being optimistic or naive but I thought we might finish outside the bottom 5 this season. Holy poop we are terrible, but hey it means a top 2 pick plus how many other firsts so meh

Idk if I was being a chicken little but I legitimately feared we might finish outside the bottom 5 this season. Holy poop we are terrible, but hey it means a top 2 pick plus how many other firsts so all is right with the world.

Fixed.

it's a long season, plenty of time for other things to happen. That said, I know how badly it sucks to follow a team through a rebuild (and only hoping this year is the end of that for the Isles) and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's just painful to watch and the years drag on. Hopefully you'll get what you need out of this year's draft (minus a top 10 pick from us...hopefully) and then turn it around a little quicker than normal.

I hear ya, but we are where we are. Mezaros ain't going to lead this team to the promised land.

It's a good thing he's only signed for one year, then, isn't it?

brian strait and matt carkner should be available on waivers soon, but you might have to beat the flyers to them

LOL....you keep tryin to seel them, Isles. I'm sure someone will bite once a few regulars get injured!

sabres are going to be sick in a couple seasons. when McDavid gets going

Dreger again on Myers tonight.

Darren Dreger was on TSN 1050 Monday evening.

On his sense of the potential availability of Tyler Myers:

“Anaheim would be one of those teams that would have interest in Tyler Myers and has interest in Tyler Myers. Detroit is another team looking for that right-shot defenseman. He fits into that demographic age-wise, where you’re hoping you’re still getting this young player very much in the upswing of his career.

“And from Buffalo’s perspective, Buffalo is trying to downplay the report, by the way. Shocking. That always happens. But I know there have been recent conversations involving the Detroit Red Wings. Now the asking price will be off the charts, and so it should be, again, for everything I just said about Myers. But when you’re only going to be a 30th place team, don’t you have to be open to every trade possibility and scenario?

“So I think that’s absolutely what Tim Murray is doing and thinking in any trade discussions he’s having with Ken Holland or Bob Murray or any other inquiries that are coming in. But as soon as they get to a point where the asking price makes some sense – it’s again too early in the season for those who are buying to overpay, but when that balance kind of finds the middle, then I do expect Myers will get moved.”
