From what Murray said in his interview with Sylvester last week, He wants the change to start next season he doesn't want to pick 1st or 2nd after next year. This doesn't have to take another 3-4 years this can be done quicker.

I've been feeling that way as well. This year's pick is what they deem to be the final "big piece" of the rebuild. There should be significant improvement next year.

There will be, now if there isn't, then I can see where people would be pissed at Nolan.

Drunk Roby 2nd intermission was gold .

I hope it's 8-3................ eithr Stafford get's 3 to ship his sorry ass out or Stafford and Stewart score.

They are going to be an extremly young team next year unless Murray brings in mroe vets somehow. Reinhart, McEichel, Girgorenko, Psysk, McCabe, Risto could all be up here next year. will be a vastly different roster, I expect some improvement next year but not a lot. Unless of course Murray does something totally off the wall haha.

Hope so Goosie. I still wear my Sabres gear to work . Get a lot of head shakes but still a fan. Plus I know what that light is at the end of the tunnel (It's not a train)

Are you guys ready for some more magic?

They aren't going to ice a team of kids they won't make the payroll either, vets will be brought in. I'm sure we will see a couple Forwards and D men. This is not going to take another 3-4 more years.

Hope those kids know how to skate, block a pass, make a pass, receive a pass and show some freakin goal scoring on the stat sheet. Never have seen passing to the invisible player so often as I do with this team. They act like the puck is a hot grenade and just dump it out with no one around to get it .

The passing as been so sickening . Big reason why we are a horrible possesion team.

The Buffalo Sabres are approaching historic badness

-Coach Ted Nolan’s crew hasn’t won in regulation since Dec. 11 when the Sabres took down Calgary 4-3.

Remarkably, Buffalo is 6-1 in the shootout, meaning the team has eight regulation wins in 50 games.

The other amazing aspect of the Buffalo story is that fans have stayed with the team. The Sabres are averaging about 18,600 per game, roughly the same attendance they had last season, according to the ESPN.com attendance tracker.

Paid attendance through season ticket holders. I'd say only 12k maybe are attending the game.

So yes they have people buying the tickets but they're losing out the ass in concession and Sabres store sales.

Any Habs rumours?

Add McEichel, Reinhart, and Gringo into the top 6/9 (Gringo needs to clear waivers), you are now looking at a young 4 line team.

Its bubble hockey style passing.

They won't ice a team of kids, Murray pretty much said that.

Correct, they will add a vet or 2 but all 3 of those guys will be up here.

I was watching NBCsports pregame show for a sec, and on the bottom of the screen it flashed up...
"Nolan tells trade candidates to play their way off team"

Anyone know what that's all about?

That group of kids have some pretty high hockey skills. But your right. Gotta have a few vets to show the right way to put it all together.

This concept that our young players are being hurt from us tanking this season is just ridiculous. The prospects that are here are 19 & 20 year olds, not 3 or 4 picking up bad habits from mommy and daddy. They know that in 30 more games will have either McDavid or Eichel locked up, and that's the game plan. Management just needs to send a real clear message to all of our prospects AND players this off season. You're making millions of dollars to perform and be a professional for us. Their are many, many, many players that would love to take your job (including many already in our system), so if your planning on being a slacker and halfa$$ing it out there, crying foul that you've been poisoned by our previous culture of losing, you're going to lose your roster spot real quick.
