could they be protecting Guhle's development by keeping in Roch to grow and develop? maybe other options outside Roch to replace Tennyson, Gorges, etc. Waivers?

Stay the course.

Get healthy and let's see what the D can do. Trading Reinhart isn't going to solve any problems, and i think Botterill knows that. Keep adding pieces. The fourth line needs to be able to play 10 minutes a game and have some modicum of offensive production, which isn't happening right now. This many games in, every player on that line should have 3 points (at least).

Get healthy bodies back, and we'll see a product like we did on opening night. It won't always be wins, but it will be better

- jcragcrumple

Your unhealthy bodies are Bogosian, Gorges, beaulieu(sp?). Not really game changers. and Two guys that will probably be gone at first chance.

unless you are counting on bailey and Girgensons to turn this team around.

Kyle god bless your soul for coming Back .. please retire

RoR -thank you for not showing up in the beginning of the year you can go back to your invisibility act when you have to get six points again so we don’t notice you


Jason Pominville ( thank you for showing up at the beginning of year ) But as Predicted you have slowed down

Sam ( thank you for being a bum franchise player can’t wait until your off this team

Zack Bogosian -you suck

Jake McCabe - what the (frank) happened to you ?

Rooster- turning into Tyler Myers slowly

Kane - good season get the (frank) away from jack

Pretty much the whole (frank)ing team sucks besides three people

Robin - you suck

3-4 lines you suck

Jack - never change

- GERBE!!!75PTS


If Jack never changes he is destined to be known as the demon spawn of Gerry Meehan and the step-brother of Miro Satan. I know this will earn me buckets of hate but.....Jack has become a soft, perimeter player. Insanely talented???? You bet. But soft nonetheless. The slot is a four letter word to him and without EK he would be in a race to mediocrity with Reinhart. Get set for 65-70 pts per year.

Generational talent, maybe. Generational performance, nope.

- riptheguard

you could pull a guy from the ECHL to match Tennyson's performance... and he is on the PP..

there is a list of players that should not be in the NHL on this team.. Tennyson is just one of them.

I can't believe I am going to say this, but Jack is starting to look more like Vanek all the time. I too think he is very talented, but I am disappointing in his play for sure.

I think he might just be getting discouraged because no matter how hard he tries we keep losing.

Not saying that it is the right attitude to have, but its understandable. Jack could pot a hat trick every night and we'd still let in 4 going the other way with this trash defense that we are icing.

I get that, but the face of the franchise can't be looked upon as a quitter.. He looks disinterested out there more then he looks engaged.

Can’t open the link, and don’t want to work hard to figure it out or create an account to sign in with.

I would have rather Offer Sheet’ed Kucherov or Draisaitl or somebody of that ilk coming up
Not as good as those two but good like a Mantha, or Montour,
- IonSabres



In short...
sign JvR & Carlson
Trade Moulson, Bogosian, Beaulieu & Lehner

JvR-Eichel-Pominville
Bailey-O’Reilly-Okposo
Kane-Reinhart-Nylander
Girgensons-Larsson-Baptiste
Rodrigues
Scandella-Carlson
McCabe-Ristolainen
Guhle-Antipin
Fedun
*trade for new starting goalie
Ullmark

If u wanna see how the $$$ works...

I don’t think that has to be the case.

We have to remember though, we went through the tank, and suffering to build a cup contending roster, not to just make the playoffs.

It needs some turnover, probably a lot of it if we want to actually contend for a cup

- sbroads24


What makes us special though? Lots of teams fail. Most teams fail. Chicago has won 3 Cups, Pittsburgh 3, LA 2. Boston is the only 1 time winner in the past 9 Cups.

Everyone female doges about how terrible Murray was the whole time he was here but then are pissed we're not Cup contenders. It makes no sense.

Start a new core ..

I know people are going to say I’m “overreacting “

But things aren’t going to change it’s not suddenly going to get better you need to understand that you messed up and start over .

- GERBE!!!75PTS



Yeah trade everyone... let’s go another 6 years so we can listen to you overreact for 492 more games..... brilliant.

I have taken to calling him Captain Half-Wall. Even Vanek made his living where the big boys play.

Thank you!

No.

Yes to both although my Greek vocabulary is shrinking.

I agree with you. He is not the problem but he may not be the solution either.

One of my first jobs was driving a delivery truck with a pretty rough dude whose name was Dave but who everybody called Willis. He couldn't afford his high blood pressure prescription so he used to self medicate with weed - we broke a lot of poop in the back of that truck.

Willis had a saying about marriage "Rings don't plug holes."

That's awfully rough business, but it worked for him. For me: I ain't dead yet, and it don't hurt for a 53 year old man to have a stupid crush on a 25 year old hotty. Looking never hurt nobody, and I’m sure Me and my ginger ales are being way less creepy about it than your average 53 year old drunk.

Or, alternatively, the GM needs to put his own stamp on this roster and leave the AHL guys out of it unless they come up to Buffalo proper.

(frank) Tavares, he's not coming here.

Dump Moulson for nothing. Dump Okposo, NOW, trade ROR and trade Reinhart.

Call up all the young guys. Fasching, Bailley, Baptiste, Guhle, Pu, doesn't matter. Throw them to the wolves, I say.

Keep Nolan, Larsson, Girgensons for the 4th line.

For the love of god, get anything of value for Lehner.

- BeadyEyedDouche


Remember the last guy we threw to the wolves? He's playing in Russia right now.
