can you please refresh what Murray did right other than drafting Eichel which was an easy layup
- homiedclown

he single-handedly put Bada-Bing on the map

We’d be scoring even less without ROR & Kane

?
- jdfitz77

no clue what the guys up front would look lie

other than their chemistry could not be worse than this group

So 5 out of 6 bottom pair guys. Except risto
Sounds like a 24th place finish
- Boss34

better than 30th place

your D today is

myers-risto
zads-mccabe
pysyk-mcnabb


your not trading for scandella
- homiedclown

Myers & Risto are both RH and not playing on the same pair
So switch Zads & Myers

Also...
subtract the scoring from ROR & Kane,
as well as Okposo, bc there’s no way he signs here without those other 2

So we have almost zero scoring outside Jack & Sam

Armia, Compher, Grigorenko...
maybe they add up to the 25ish goals we get from Kane
Maybe

We still lose a bunch of games where we score 2 or less

to a lesser extent, nelson and cj smith

Sam isn’t getting a Nylander deal
Not a chance in hell

I said 2 years @ 3.5m. Now give it a rest.

TBD


he may pan out

he may not


we have been down this road with d men drafted for 25 years
- homiedclown

I really liked tmgm.

I was wrong, he set this franchise back 3 years.
Thus the eichel type tank this year.

2014 Sam
2017 mitts

2015 Eichel
2018 stud

Tmgm did get us eichel. Anyone would have selected him 2nd , few guys could trade every guy away and trash a whole season. It was vintage tanking

yeah, I get that, and agree with you...although he's cut his scouting department and, imo, it seems as if the fans, through this reliance on revenue-sharing, are footing the bill for some very poor asset management over the last couple of years
- Michael Pachla

Well mistakes have certainly been made
But that doesn’t surprise me

How many years did the Yankees suck for in the 80s & 90s before they finally started winning?

Pegula has never been an owner before
Bumps on the road should be expected

i would assume bailey or baptiste would be with the big club

maybe lemieux

compher-eichel-baptiste
gringo-ennis-reinhart
foligno-girgens-armia


that top 9 is not much worse, if any than what we have


and the d is better

and the prospect pool is full


and there is lots and lots of cap space

don't forget a$$poop and pu
- homiedclown

the jury's still out on the 2016 draft, as well as players like olofsson, johansson (2014,) and borgen (2015)...and he did draft cal petersen

Ok... fair assessments

But NOT a borderline playoff team
Still a bottom 5 team

Pegula has never been an owner before
Bumps on the road should be expected
- jdfitz77

7 years is more than bumps IMO


he should have hired an experience person to oversee the bills and the sabres



he IMO is no different than the redskins owner

yanks are kinda different in that they can spend all they want because of the tv revenue they get in the city...and there's no salary cap either...

that said, yeah, ownership may take time to get it, but he made it sound like money was no object at his initial presser and, come to find out, that it really is

pretty sure our pk and pp would be better


that does make a difference


we would probably be a faster team, and play 3 lines


once kane is moved, this top 9 is a joke, not that kane is helping recently

Bumps are a sign of needing medication .

better than 30th place
- homiedclown

Not better drafting position #tank

Hopefully the league chooses us for one of the lottery spots.
With the empty building and all the dignity we've shown.

It's not like we invited mcdavid and eichel to play during the season and rub it in the nhl face.

The world juniors chose us, sort of

that top-9 is terrible...it would be tank-level terrible if not for jack echl

- Michael Pachla

and if the sabres still stunk in year 5, at least the scouting staff and rochester should be top notch

they were not
