don't you think he was worth at least a second to begin with?
- Michael Pachla

I was thinking a late first but damn he's on fire just in time too ..

hope we ship him out don't let him play a drew stafford on us

I can certainly agree with that Mike.

I like teddy...was surprised lafontaine brought him in...but in looking at it, really not such a bad idea considering

hopefully murray can convince somebody that staff's a poor-man's stewart and land a 2nd rounder...

I remember Regier throwing around second rounders like beads at mardi gras

am of the opinion that this roster is sh!t for a reason....and that Nolan might be doing an exceptional job...just me
- Michael Pachla

I hate to single out one particular player because there are a lot of questionable guys on the roster but case in point, Kaleta. There is no reason I can think of as to why he is still in the NHL.

Can't wait till hes on the team!!

trust me You don't want the elite number 1 center ..

it's McDavid or bust

Oh dear. Whoever said that is horribly mistaken

or drew stafford had a talk with him

It's his way off of this sinking ship...
- jochfr

that's something to play for...one of the points both Nolan and murray have both made is that there are a lot of eyes on sabres' players

because he's ahead of matt ellis on the depth chart?

That ain't saying much. MFE has been getting torched out there

A half way decent coach could get this roster to win at least once is 14 games. Nolan is not very good at all. Which is fine by me. Tank on!
- Cheeseballin

But Murray is great right, I mean what is your opinion on what kind of job Murray is doing?

Have you seen him help his coach at all this season?

Think about that.

This roster is void of confidence in the worst way.

I don't think the player on the ice has any confidence in the team mate that is on the ice with him to do anything positive.

Once this losing streak got past 8 you could see it in each players body language if not at some point during a game, you'd see it in an interview.

That's the worst type of lack of confidence to have in a team sport, the very worst.

Sorry but in my opinion that has nothing to do with coaching, its just lack of talent period.

true story

trust me You don't want the elite number 1 center ..

it's McDavid or bust

We have little control over whether we get McDavid. But I think we can at least make it so we get eichel as the consultation prize

the goal should be eichel if we get connor mcdavid that's the cherry on top..

no one should be sad if we get eichel you're getting a better ryan getzlaf with jets on

really no one wants a ryan getzlaf?

Lafontaine admired Nolan's "coaching ability" which also speaks volumes.

The man has never failed anywhere he has been which many just want to overlook as well or merely throw some excuse in there as to why Ted's team did so well.
It's old, it's gotten very very old.

I kinda looked at this season as a throwaway season knowing full well that ufa's would be headed out the door at the deadline...was surprised that murray landed Moulson, Gionta and gorges, but even more surprised at this season, and that includes the 10-3 hot streak

kris baker mentioned mike modano as a comparable too...which isn't anything to sneeze at

No clue if Nolan is the right man for the job or not but there is no reason to get rid of him until we have more talent. Give him a couple years, if he's not the right guy get rid of him but doing it now is rather pointless IMO.

Has anyone said they don't want Eichel at #2?

You just can't accept McDavid is the clear cut better player can you?

It's on the players and the coaching staff. They both have been terrible. You can't say one is doing good and the other isn't. It's been a big conglomorate of sucking.
