Im actually pretty excited/anxious to hear what type of draft strategy/history our new GM will have. I may be in the minority but i was not a fan of how Murray drafted(and his scouts). the 2014 draft (2nd round) was enough evidence for me that we needed a different eye in the draft. Also it would be nice to have a GM that would take a chance on a high potential Russian from time to time.

As much as I was anti TMGM, we have the worst luck.

Reinhart should be better than he is right now.

I'm praying Bylsma was truly awful at his job

Yea you definitely have to have a bit of luck in this league, especially in the draft. I mean if you look at our draft history, we have had very little luck recently in the 1st round. Look at the grigorenko/Girgensons picks. 2 firsts round picks that have killed us.

I'm in the same boat with you I hated his drafts besides the 2016 one I think there's some potential there

But to blow those 3 second round picks in 2014 just gets me aggravated

Unforgivable. Vaclav Karabacek...are you kidding me

We tanked and the karma is we didn't get the best player..

Hopefully it works out for you guys

But we didn't tank in 2014 and still didn't get the best player, so screw everyone else, we win the #1 pick this year.

they changed scouts after that draft. The last two drafts have been pretty good imo

Barbashev is an NHL regular on a playoff team.

We had the 1st pick in that round to snag him

Brayden Point
Brandon Montour
Christian Dvorak
Victor Arvidsson

We couldn't have accidentally taken one of them?

Ok, time to move on!

Eichel wants to win, we need a player like this in this city (see Jim Kelly). Give him the C and start changing the culture of this team - both on/off the ice!

Uncle Terry wants to win, don't kid yourself's. He has some big cherries 🍒 to spend the $$ he does and to continue to try and make it right. If he did nothing with Bylsma/TM (Rex) many would ridicule him, he is trying to make it right.

Stop the what if's (if we would have drafted this D and not traded a 2nd........). It's not as easy as many think, we will have our run soon enough. Give the guy some credit around here, he is trying to make it right!

So 50+ points as a 20/21 year old is utterly embarrassing?? How's Dylan strome doing these days?

We probably will win the lottery this year as they'res no stud

Where do you get utterly embarrassing from "should be better"

Also, where did he get 50+ points?

What choice do we have? Waste another year at the bottom for a chance at Dahlin.

might have missed it but did anyone see Gary Lawless's article about the sabres?

It was pretty good, that they should have been hiring not firing right now...more to do with GMTM and not Disco

"The Pegulas don’t have the answers they need right now. More accurately, they don’t know the questions.

The Sabres needed to hire someone this week, not fire their top hockey man. They need a president of hockey operations to help the GM and soothe ownership when rocky days arrive."

I don't see the big deal with all this.

Most rebuilding teams change out management and coaching before getting it right.

Keeping Murray and having him desperately trying to make the playoffs next year could have been worse.

I also stopped reading at "Murray did a good job collecting assets"

Thought most of you would have a good laugh.

You could go 50/50 on Murray, but I thought it was a decent article with the other perspective that you could have added mgmt to strengthen front office if you don't like the direction that it currently is.

Can anyone who knows something about something help me figure out why this VGA to HDMI adapter won't work? I bought it so I could connect my laptop to my tv for streams


- chilliard77

Switch your output to analog on laptop is you can. VGA is not Digital like HDMI.

I take it your laptop has a VGA out ? Then you got a backwards adapter.

TM rubbed Kim P the wrong way. I think TM has some good qualities, Asst GM or Head of scouting? At times he was in over his head, he needed an experienced figure head (ex - Lou Lam).

We will get it right!

Disco was too much cheap family dollar vanilla.
TM was over his head as to what makes the team work. Great scout, but bad negotiator .

What a scumbag Kadri is. And then after he's like "What'd I do?" Right at his knee.

Kadri is such a dirty (frank)! He should be suspended for the rest of the playoffs for that. Dirty scumbag

And only two min?!?! ...
