Also from listening to that presser, it sounds like Neuvirth's head was getting kind of big.
- SABRES 89

Takes up more net space that way!

I don't like what I heard from Murray " If we pick 28th, that's where we will pick " wrong answer. If we don't get the 1st or 2nd pick this will be an Epic Fail on the Sabres part.
- SABRES 89

He has to say that 89 as the entire management of the NHL is no doubt listening.

If he answered truthfully, it would be exactly what you said.

What did you expect him to say, he can't come out and say he is tanking. It's all talk. He knows he wants one of those first two picks.
- Cheeseballin

Screw that, tell them we are tanking who cares. McDavid or Eichel are the most important. Why can't these reporters get it

Yep proof is in the pudding. He trades away a winning goalie

- seedy

He still sucked in the shootout.

If this was Toronto and he said it, it would be ok but it's Buffalo, so it's not ok.

Thats just it...everybody "knows" it.
Sucky is just fixated on hearing him say it.
I'd love to see Buckys face if TM actually said "yes, i'll accept nothing less than 30th. Next question?"
Bucky wouldnt have a job any more, because he would have nothing else to write about.

Draft McDavid/Eichel
I strongely feel Stewart and Nuevirth will be brought back here, especially when considering the teams they were traded to.
Sign Justin Williams
Sign Mike Green
Sign Devan Dubynk

Ennis McDavid/Eichel Stewart
Kane Reinhart Williams
Moulson Girgensons Foligno
Deslauriers Larsson McCormick

Ristolainen Green
Zadorov Bogosian
Pysyk Gorges
(McCabe to start in the AHL and first to call up)

Nuevirth
Dubynk


I could live with that for a year

Murray thinks that he is talking to a bunch of fools.
That's why he was asked the same question but in different ways.
His smugness will be his demise, I just about guarantee it.
And to be fair his smugness he hasn't even earned.
His returns today and even on the Myers deal are very underwhelming.
I am waiting for this talker to wow me.
Guess I will have to wait another day.

It's not that easy, you assume those guys will want to come back and that the other FA's will want to be here.

We will in all likelihood be closer to the 1st pick than the playoffs next year.

no reason to have 2 expensive goalies.

If this was Toronto and he said it, it would be ok but it's Buffalo, so it's not ok.

Pretty much. Murray dosent need to deal with the media scrum that would come from it.

They are TANKING, deal with it

It hasn't even gotten there yet.

Not all of the assets we expect to be part of the future have played in the nhl yet. I think he's just telling fans what they want to hear.

I meant it took that hodge podge of a team 5 + months just to look half way professional. Next year with Young kids it will be starting from scratch again.

Weren't you the one who said Myers was only worth a 1st and a 3rd line player?

Can't believe no one thought to ask him if there were any calls about Hodgson.

Screw that, tell them we are tanking who cares. McDavid or Eichel are the most important. Why can't these reporters get it
- SABRES 89

It's not just etiquette. He traded away a winning goalie for nothing. I think that says it all

- Buffalo-Sabres

Yup, I think the only difference will be the talent level/experience will be higher and i think they'll mesh together quicker than the mismatched parts we had playing this year. Still some growing pains left though

Will be be about 5 mill below the cap floor before signing any RFA's. We will have to sign a bunch of crappy Fa's again

Look at this trade again.

Buffalo has sent defenseman Tyler Myers, right wing Drew Stafford, prospects Joel Armia and Brendan Lemieux, plus a 2015 first-round pick (whichever one ends up being the latest in the round) to the Winnipeg Jets for right wing Evander Kane, defenseman Zach Bogosian and goaltending prospect Jason Kasdorf.

Very underwhelming
