Recently, read back a page or 10. Schopp and Bulldog poisoned this thread. Originally, because some of our posters with inside sources, coinciding with MSM sources say TM likes ROR. It's unfortunate, so I think some of us are just hoping he gets signed long term so we can start beating another horse to death.

This can't happen until at least July 1st, so we still have about a week of speculation unless he gets moved before then.

it blows my mind that we have not had centers in a decade and now we're OK trading them away

If Reinhart is traded for oreilly I'll go berserk. I am one of those guys that's more conservative on his estimates but I did not watch a crap season last year to end up with oreilly instead of Reinhart. I don't need to "get better faster". I want to get better to win a cup. I think Reinhart is oreilly with a higher ceiling AND younger. Why would we ever make that trade.

was it last Summer, or the Summer before, there was nun talk on HB and some veeeery interesting images were posted...some involving latex clothing.

I must not have been around for that conversation!!

Can you say this one more time for the people in the cheap seats?

Lets wait until Friday/Saturday (July 1st) with all this what if's???

Give TM some time and sit back and enjoy the new direction!

How did all the ROR trade talk start, anyway? Seems like all speculation and not based on anything TM has said about him specifically...and the most nonsensical part is we already have a ROR-type player who is , at 21 (?) years old already the heart and soul of the team. Does any team thrive with TWO 3rd line defense-first centers? Why pay 7 mil. for that guy? It's so ridiculous to give up Reinhart, Zadorov, #21 or anything remotely close to these assets for a player we already have!
And we don't have the luxury of bailing out on a 6'6" teenage d-man who loves to hit when our pipeline on defense has few prospects after McCabe and Weedy. Just ludicrous. I believe TM is not so dumb as to trade Reinhart or Zads unless the haul is phenomenal....not for ROR, not to pick in the top ten, and not for the second coming of Martin Brodeur.

Until Friday, let's talk only about chicken wings, golf, nuns, beer, squirrels, zombies, tv shows, ....anything other than mortgaging our future to get a 7 million $ 3rd-line center, please!

The Sabres stink, the Bills stink, the world stinks, wings stink, you stink, I stink. Everything stinks. (frank) you.

I want some good rumors let's go I want some juicy ones

Serious doubts on Zads, you ever met the kid? Doesn't appear dedicated.
Grigs is not a TM favorite.
2016 1st, no guarantee it's a lottery pick, still have a season to play to determine that, and, as TM says, you don't rebuild forever
And if you don't think Hannifin is better than Zads, well then.........

Disagree... This team is not making the playoffs next year.

This is hardly the problem with your proposal. Have YOU met Zads? Do you know he has dedication issues?

If we win the 2016 lottery and hand over Auston Matthews over to the Avalanche, I'll cut someone.

Obscenely poor trade proposal for the Sabres.

rumor a friend of a friend will trade me a pliney the elder for 2 heady toppers. Very juicy indeed.

you don't trade for Kane, and Bogo to make moves that push this rebuild back a year


you don't tank to draft reinhart only to deal him away 12 months later

what the hell are people thinking?

It's like, you know something really bad is going to happen in the near future. There's a chance it doesn't happen, but you're at least preparing yourself for the worst case scenario. It happens, and you say to yourself, there's no way I was fully prepared for this.

And then you cry in your whiskey for a few hours.

Was needing a pick me up and decided to watch some old 06-07 Sabres playoff goals. This one was one of the best and loudest.

awwl.... Afinogenov... I miss you... one of the main reasons why I became such a huge Sabres fan.
