No, it won't. The argument is over. Some value the win column more than others. That's where the argument ends.

This is so oversimplified as to be unworthy.

We all value wins. Some say, the team is not winning so I the people I don’t like should be trashed. Others realize team sports are way deeper than that.

And I truly believe you know that, and you are simply being obstinate for the sake of obstinacy. Else how could you call Eichel a difference maker?

Yeah let’s panic when we have played 11 different defensemen. We don’t need to rebuild we are still building....we’ve got three hopefully impactful players in the system, that are one or two years away. We should be able to add another one in this draft.

Guess nobody learns from Murray..... THERE IS NO QUICK FIX.

Several thoughts ...
Clearly Bogo is a Difference Maker, given Sabres record this year when he doesn’t play.
AUston Matthews is a good, not great player as he clearly isn’t a Difference Maker given Leafs string of victories when he’s injured

If JBotts can get riD of Okposo relatively cleanly, he deserves an X-large serving of Hookers and Blow served up at high noon on City Hall steps

Love Kane on this team, me just thinks the amount of work to rebuild this team will take too long and he’ll be 29/30 by the time the team is ready to contend with him...that is a lot of mileage on those wheels the way he plays. Hopefully we can get a significant return with a younger player where the timelines match better.

Simple. The Sabres' record was better with him than it was without him last year, albeit not by much. So was their offensive production.

Per source close to the situation, a feud between Rick Dennison and Tyrod Taylor after last Sunday’s game eventually lead to the benching. Rick Dennison essentially gave Sean McDermott an ultimatum. Bench Tyrod, or I’m (Dennison) out. This is Rick Dennison’s offense and he wasn’t going down with the ship, so to speak. It is refreshing to see ownership allow these guys to do what they do without interference.

If true McDermott lost my respect

That sounds like BS to me, but Dennison reminds me of Steve Fairchild, and that's not a good thing.

The record last year was also better with ROR in the lineup than it was during his appendectomy and rib.

So ....

Actually, it was the same. And the offensive production did not take a hit. He is a good player. He's not a difference maker, and that's okay.

14 minutes, that’s how long it took for peterman to throw the same # of int as Taylor.

Tyrod will never be elite but this was a winnable game if he played
