BUF scratches: Gorges, Nolan, Falk
Antipin, Beaulieu and Fasching return to lineup



- Sabresfan-365

I like the moves
No point in having Fasching up here if he’s gonna sit

Another gorgeous set up that someone can’t finish

You’re sniffing glue.

not as much as you

Lehner is gone also, Ullmark will be the starter. Pegula is not happy giving up a 1st for Lehner. He feels Lehner should be producing better at the cost.
- SABRES 89

Good
But is Pegula dictating roster moves?

I certainly hope not

not as much as you
- SABRES 89

Oh yeah?

feel like at some point frustration will peak and he'll start taking like 9 shots a game

What do u mean by “work out” though?
If u mean that team wins the Cup, there’s only 1 champ a year

No I mean they rarely make an impact.

Like your boy Shattenkirk, Hanzal, Ladd from the year before.

i mean, it's the right move so it doesnt bother me

It’s nuts

No, but he's not happy about losing the 1st for an " average" goalie. They are looking for a speedy winger for Eichel that isn't a 6 or 7 mill a year player.

- Sabresfan-365

In the Lehner case, I agree
But these decisions should be made by Botts
Pegula should not be influencing roster decisions

Oh yeah?

Sonis the top of your head.

Vesey?

Jordan Nolan said it wasn't

No, that kid isn't coming here, no chance.

Few more games and the Pens should be in panic mode.

- SABRES 89

I know. I was just being an ass.

He's wants 7-8 a year if not more I was told, they aren't giving him that.
- SABRES 89

honestly they can't afford to give him more than say 6.333 per to be responsible

- SABRES 89

I'm sure they're already making arrangements with Bettman that they demand Duhlin or they'll threaten to move the franchise.

I know. I was just being an ass.
- sskkoo1

No you weren't he falls in that category, but no chance.

for the record, I never said he was coming here, I always said Rangers, Bruins, Sabres in that order.

- sbroads24

Bc he’s SUPER overrated

But in fairness,
how much of an impact is a guy playing on the 3rd pair gonna make?

And Hanzal was on line 3/4 as well

Don’t remember about Ladd,
he may have played in the top6

Usually these guys end up in depth roles on their new teams

So for me,
it’s not really their production that’s the issue. It’s not like they suddenly become bad players...
But what it cost to acquire them is often too much

honestly they can't afford to give him more than say 6.333 per to be responsible

He won't take that and this team is too far away to keep him, makes no sense. Unless some miracle happens which I seriously doubt. Murray rushed this to fast and now we have to almost start over and Botterill will be patient.
