Maybe they intend to start the Ullmark era?


If so I disagree will all of this. They're still going to be horrible. They should leave Rochester with the winning culture and wallow in the sea of poop they've built here.

Only way I see them trading a goalie is getting one in return.

I agree with you Ullmark should finish the year in Rochester

probably not, but didn't by all accounts he love it here? just saying, hes the opposite of the kind of person we love to hate around here. sadly it didn't work out. at all.
- robz228

Oh I don't hate him.

coyotes OTL keeps us in sole position of last

this is going to be a McEichel level battle all year

Rochester got better or worse?

BEADY EYED DOUCHE is the only person I know who could move to Alabama and thereby make the population of both New York and Alabama smarter at one and the same time.

Great read. Couple points:

Crosby played and acted similarly to Eichel early in his career. Yes, obviously he was more productive and is more talented but they went through similar growing pains that come with being drafted and labeled a franchise player right out of the gate for failing programs, they were both surrounded by under-performing team mates, and they both cried about it a bit too much. Crosby grew out of it and became the best player in the league. Pens became a dynasty.
Does Eichel have this in him? Can he turn the page, shut up and put his money where his mouth is too? I'm not 100% sure but we will obviously give him the chance since he is locked in for 10 years.

Second point:
If we want to muster and successes with this team we have to prioritize play for guys like Antipin. Why would Gorges ever get playing time over Antipin? Just one example. I'm not sold on Housley so far. I'm a bit surprised and some of the poor decision making unless there is a bigger picture agenda I'm missing here?

Dahlin, 1st round Dman via Kane trade, 2nd round Dman via pick 32.

If I never saw Lehner in Sabres uniform again I'd be ok with that, but I just can't see who they'd be trading for that would be any more watchable?

Erod called up to the big club. Last year's team rookie of the year was the missing ingredient. Criscoulo sent down. Needed for all the Christmas cookies. HEYYYYYYYOHHHHHHH. Often imitated, never duplicated.

Yes?

Probably?

The joy of Moulson getting sent down is rather euphoric.

Neuvirth?

Enroth return!?

Miller Time?

A cardboard cut out would be fun.

lets get the gang back together

2nd round pick for vanek

We know the Sabres are notoriously bad at passing and we have non existent offense from our D men.

We win and in zone draw, if were lucky not to botch it at the point it's usually a round about until we get a shot off a leg and then we lose possession. Starting in our zone we just don't have the passing or speed to surprise teams in transition.



Moulson, Okposo, Girgensons, Larsson, Nolan have played a combined 115 games this year while racking up 7 goals combined. Adam Mair scored at double that clip. You just can't have that.

I know we all wish you could erase the Moulson and Okposo contracts, but you can't. And it really makes you wonder how such an awful team insists they need to keep a guy like Girgensons. I just don't see it.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Think tank? These guys and their 7 goals = picking early in the 2018 nhl selection draft.

Pretty simple, moulson being waived is a start

Waiving Moulson makes the Sabres better tho

I wish we could have let Lehner play under Arturs Irbe...that dude turned trash into treasure.

I understand what you are saying, but no other team was offering a $25 mil contract, so he was just following the money and he stopped trying (working out) after it was signed.

If he really wanted to help, he could retire and take a job as a "scout"

GMJB making a bigger move today?

Let's lock down 30th or 31st first. Then change the culture. Matt accepted losing, aside from his poor skating

Just needed more minutes, he would've been fine. Should have played him with the Eichel and Kane, this is all Johan Larsson's fault

Brace yourself, the Leafs fans are trading for Risto

3 pick lottery makes securing last not really even worth it

if you can get better now, i'm not letting a 7 out of 100 extra chance at dahlin stop me

Risto for Nylander?

At least its a real discussion...

Everyone on the Sabres can be had for the right price at this point
