That was very stupid


Unfortunately its what Buffalo fans seem to love so maybe he'll fit right in.

What did he do?

I highly, highly doubt Bogosian. I don't think he would have been surprised someone would have been interested in him and would have said "lets talk"
- GilPerreault11

I think the surprise would be someone calling him to see if he's available since he just acquired him last week. I think a lot of teams would be interested and Murray would listen. if murray was willing to give up Myers it wouldn't be crazy to think he would flip bogosian for right pieces.

Took a dumb offensive zone penalty (basically manhandled the guy) down a goal with about 2 mins left.

Just some guy I saw in "Sabres" who wrote "I heard the craziest thing about the Sabres" Someone asked him what, he said you won't believe it. I said try me and he posted that. He said his source is a trade nerd so it's garbage. My point was that there seems to be Malkin garbage rumors often.

Trading for Malkin would be a bad move

I don't think he's like a real estate flipper especially with the way he's been playing. I think it was someone like Hodgson or Benoit. When someone says "Can you believe I'm calling you about this guy" it leads me to believe he's not high in the current player food chain.

I'm sure Subban will be a very good goalie but I would go after John Gibson, I doubt they move him.

I still think it was a gm offering a guy.

The cost to get him, the Sabres would never recover.

And his age and it has to be garbage, not to mention why would Pitt deal him before the playoffs? No sense at all.

Wow, saying mez looks better than pysyk at this point is absolutely nuts. There is a reason pysyk has been in the ahl, and it has zero to do with with his gameplay.
- Mentalorgasm5

While I agree hes an NHL'er no question, I also don't think he's remotely good enough to effect the tank.

He's in Rochester so Benoit and Mezaros can hopefully do something to garner interest from other teams

Tank on !

Locker hasn't done anything as of now that EJ can't, if they make an upgrade at QB it better be an upgrade and not a lateral move.

Sabres notebook: Pysyk sent down despite Nolan’s lobbying

Ted Nolan lobbied for Mark Pysyk to stay in Buffalo. The defenseman showed he belonged.

He’s gone anyway.

The Sabres sent Pysyk back to Rochester after practice Friday despite an impressive week. Called up because Nikita Zadorov overslept and Tyson Strachan came down with an infection, Pysyk recorded a goal, assist and plus-4 rating in three outings. He averaged 17:49 of ice time per game and earned a spot on the power play.

With Zadorov out of healthy-scratch exile and Strachan back at practice, the demotion can be justified. However, it still gives further credence to the theories that Buffalo is tanking and Nolan has philosophical differences with General Manager Tim Murray.

The roster move came after Nolan’s daily news conference and before Buffalo departed for Florida for Saturday’s game against the Panthers.

Zadorov, scratched for the last three games, slid into Pysyk’s role on the power play and skated on the blue line with Andrej Meszaros. The 19-year-old is eager to put Sunday’s alarm-clock incident in the past.....................................

IMO Murray has known who he wants as a coach for sometime now. Whether that's Richardson or going after Babcock

Strachan got better and I'm not sure what the rules are in regards with what they were supposed to do with Zadorov. 2 players came back in to the lineup. Someone had to go somewhere...

I don't care if Nolan is here or not, all that matters is losing games.

Yeah, seems nolan and murray wont be able to co-exist.

Nolan should have kept his mouth shut and not said he "lobbied" or fought to keep Pysyk up with the Sabres. He should have been a good soldier for once and been a team player, something he was unable to be with Muckler. He should have said it is the GM's decision to pick the players I coach them like most coaches say.

Agreed, everybody, and I mean everybody, knew what this team was being set up to do this year. I dont know why Nolan seems to think otherwise.

Well, they don't put it in the headline and have it as the main idea of the story without verifying it, but good point. No doubt he wanted Pysyk to stay up, he told TM that and he told TBN that he told TM that or they wouldn't have put it in the headline or the story.

He no doubt knew TM would get heat for sending him down due to the "tank" crap TBN has been writing on twitter. I haven't really read their articles much so I'm not sure how often they mention it in them, but it was kind of throwing your boss under the bus.

I agree that as a coach, he wants nothing more than to win. Especially in a toxic environment where the coach is the first to go when the team doesnt win. Hoping He and GMTM have an agreement. Because you cant possibly blame the coach for this season. Most fans of the sabres know this is a well veiled tank. No one will admit to it, but it is.
