Coach Sullivan says that Matt Murray left the ice early today and is being evaluated.

That guy is made of glass.

But, what is the real issue for players, though?

They know from the standings that Buffalo isn't a strong team yet. They know that the owner is willing to open his deep pockets. They know the owner has updated their locker room and equipment. So, what's the big hate for not wanting to come here, other than the fact that the team is not good yet? I'm mean, what do players say, "You don't want to go to Buffalo, because..."

Culture

Yea..Im just gonna have to disagree. I think we had a little glimmer of hope and good direction when Eichel was drafted and leading up to it. but since then its all gone to $hit. Players around the league talk. Cant imagine many have good things to say. The ONLY positive I see here is getting playing time/opportunity, but that didn't really work out for Antipin most recently. So idk

I just don't think that anecdotally, at least, the FA signings line up with that. Recently they've signed Okposo, Nelson, Antipin, Falk, Fedun, Gionta wanted to come back, Vanek's agent said he wanted to come back, Pouliot. I mean, to me, the results say that players still come here. Like i said, FA isn't what it used to be, so those are at least mid-to-high-tier signings

Bogo is too, if only he would stay BROKEN permanently.

Someone wake up Botts...

This meltdown will be terrific

Because we are perpetual losers and no hope in sight. If you are a player that want to win and have a shot at the playoffs every year, then why the hell would you want to come here? Its really not that difficult to understand

No need to rush, we have time.

Zach has some awesome pups.

Culture

And, what is that culture? Players are going to talk about themselves mailing it, and giving half-ass efforts. Pegula, GMJB, and Housley can't go out on the ice and do things for them.

Id be more or less done with the franchise at that point

Can they play defense? because he can't.

Brad May just said watch out for Taresenko for Tavares.

Just looked up Statsny's stats. For $7 million per year, he has been delivering between 40 and 49 pts over the past 4 seasons.
