I think you might have to go back to your old picture every time I see you now it looks like Homer

when the top half of the roster underachieved


honestly it was harder to watch the teams during the vanek years (post briere/drury) then the bankrupt years or the tank years

let mair center the second line and have zags rot in the ahl


zags couldn't sniff the nhl despite being weak at centers, and zags producing in the ahl

(frank) you darcy

So I have a dumb question here.... At what point do the Sabres stop trading away players at the trade deadline and start to keep players on the roster to create some damn consistency on this team?

Jax have the sweetest 3rd duds in the league too. Love the cannon.

We should still be tanking despite the fact the odds have changed.

Another one I "drove away" apparently.

I don't know that they'll be sending out too many people that matter/aren't easily replaced going forward, Ray. Expiring contracts of people Murray doesn't envision being here are free to go.

With 89 not around with info, the source we've heard has mentioned 3 not-so-important names, so I think the overall roster/core is safe going forward.

good question, to answer that you need to ask yourself questions regarding each player

your buiding a roster to compete for the next 5/6 years


IMO kane, eichel, skunk and ror are the only legit top 6 players on this roster

ennis, girgens, moulson, mcginn, gionta are not

do you want to pay ennis, moulson, girgens, mcginn etc to be third line players? or build the prospect pool and be able to plug young energy players on cheap deals

do you pay foligno decent coin for being a 4th line player? Do you trust him to be a third line player?

IMO with larsson, deslaurers and schaller, you have 3 cheap options for your bottom 2 lines

on the d, I think we all agree risto is a #2, bogo is a 3/4
That leaves 2 holes in your top 4, do you pay gorges, wait for mccabe/pysyk to develop?

They are IMO where they need to get a few more upgrades on the roster.


right now we have 47 players under contract, can only have 50
I think once they get 4 more top guys, 2 up front and 2 on the blue line, the team will shake out and be stable

We should still be tanking despite the fact the odds have changed.

They don't. They stay in a constant state of rebuilding because that builds hope for the future, keeps fans anxious and happy and keeps people in power from being held accountable for the results. IE: See the Buffalo Bills.

You don't believe they are trying to talk an extension with McGinn? Not saying he is a savor by any means, but as far as keeping with a similar lineup and continuing to grow chemistry he seems to be a malleable enough piece. We will leave the Bills out of this
