Moulson and Nylander are in, I'm guessing.

Who's playing in McCabe's place?

Im convinced they still like him in their top four.

HUH????maybe they are tanking.... what reason possible would they have to not play McCabe, unless he is hurt?
- gordong


He has been playing like crap for awhile, fighting the puck, beat in his own end maybe he needs to take a break. Also

Kyle Okposo remains sick and ill, coach Dan Bylsma said, and the Sabres don't expect him back for final three games.

That must be one Hell of a flu or something else.

This the following an easy, quick summation of the Sabres problem?

They have an overabundance of supporting, complimentary players, a few of which make too much money for being that kind of player, and due to the lack of high end players that drive play, some of the supporting/complimentary players are asked to play above their heads in roles greater then they are able to support.

They need to get 2-3 more driver type players as they have plenty of passengers.

Overall summary: don't overpay any player that is not a driver, as overpaying passengers always leads to trouble, both in terms of cap hit and trades.

If you identify a player or players as drivers but they are really passengers, it can kill your team, and end your job faster than you think.

Reading that, it sounds like a summary of GMTM so far.

One can dream.

Btw, Notre Dame plays Denver tomorrow. If they lose, I wonder if GMTM tries to sign Cal immediately with the stipulation he plays in one of the Florida games this weekend and burns a year of his entry level contract?? If Notre Dame wins, they play Saturday for the championship. I hope GMTM's relationship with Cal is as good as he professes.

The problem isnt just that they're overpaying non drivers. it's that they genuinely believe these guys can drive the play, despite everything pointing to the contrary before they were acquired.

I have a hard time believing that is still the case.

I think your nightmares are manifesting themselves in real life

How do we know that? Honest question.

I tend to fall on the side of they believed, emphasis on past tense, at one point, but no longer.

If they still believe, GMTM should be fired.

Doesn't 44 need a certain number of games to be able to be exposed?

I honestly don't mind McCabe sitting. He's been beyond awful the last few. However, wake me up when 4, 47, or 77 sit when they have dreadful games

Yes, but don't see them trading their very first draft selection ever as an organization.
