Hey you mean the person that said tanking was a good idea and you said it was the worst idea ever


What now

"Then in the seventh round, the Bills selected receiver Austin Proehl with the 255th overall pick. Proehl is the son of former NFL wide receiver Ricky Proehl.

The 21-year-old receiver from North Carolina spent four seasons playing with the Tar Heels, accounting for 1,265 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 38 games played.

Proehl said during his conference call that he ran a 4.41 forty-time at his regional combine. He played both slot and outside receiver in college, but with his shorter height, he could be in line for more of an inside role in the NFL."

put okposo on LTIR and the sabres have an addition up front by subtraction

i hardly paid attention but it sounded like he played a bit better at the end of the season?

i'll give him another year before i give up on him.

There's already an article on cardiaccane.com that brings up the idea of the Hurricanes drafting Dahlin at 2 it's almost like anyone can write anything on the internet

vancouver finished 6-2-2 and are drafting 7th

morons

No. They need to add to the blueline. This lottery win should allow Risto to be a 2nd pairing defemensemen in a year.

Botts needs one more on top of Dahlin, Risto, Guhle, McCabe and Scandella
- Mentalorgasm5

Borgen.. he might turn into a really good player.

Rasmus Dahlin
Jack Eichel
Casey Mittelstadt
Brendan Guhle


Build around the above

They just had someone on WGR on Dahlins team they said he does not play left he plays right

What...

We need wingers ror,Sam , ristolainen are the guys that can bring one

And if the rumors are true about ristolainen not getting along with the coaching staff he might go
- gerbe75pts

rumors rumors rumors


nolan slept with dom's wife
legwand was the mystery driver
risto doesn't listen to the coaches
sam is more interested in beer and video games than the sabres meeting
jack half buzzed is pissed because ror is fully buzzed
kim pegula wanted evander kane off the sabres roster
rochester is going to be good
miller was almost traded for alex the $8
season tickets are not going up, for once
we might be good
the number #9 jersey can only have it's name changed one more time before you are stuck with it as the vendors at the arena now have a phobia for the number 9


blah
blah
blah

Pack your sh!t ROR , Sam or ristolainen

Your gone
- gerbe75pts

How about you send okposo packing before you look at moving those boys.

Why would we trade Ristolainen?

If we must do it, getting in the top-5 starts with RISTO AND ROR. Montreal are (frank)ed with that Carey Price contract...

They are trading Pacioretty, they have Galchenyuck and adding Ristolainen with ROR would bump them back up to the bubble for the next few years.

Drafting at #3 will not.

I don't think it's crazy to offer them Ristolainen and ROR for the #3. That's what gets it done.

Then flip Sam to Arizona with next year's 1st for OEL. That's what we need to do, if those trades aren't in the cards, we stand pat.

How about you send okposo packing before you look at moving those boys.

That scrub wont get us Jack's winger

In these threads, I have read some of the dumbest ideas I have ever seen expressed in writing.

Ditto, like this one, lol.

Then get a new coach.

They need to build around Eichel, Dahlin, Risto, Guhle and Casey right now.

Jack Eichel

3 on 3 OT

Omg

He already said the coache is save soooooooooo

If the reports are true of the locker room being a mess and guys doing there own thing, winning the lottery puts more pressure on JB to make a trade soon.

Dahlin, unlike some others will be a Sabre from day 1. They won’t want him in the toxic environment

3 on 3 OT

Omg

Holy hell

Paul Hamilton said sabres might be having second thoughts about Guhle after his disgusting playoffs

Ok lol ....

Congrats losers

Probably being in that room for 2 hours I wonder if he was bouncing some trades off teams

i think its a win win, risto is tradeable now but they shouldnt be looking to trade him if that makes sense.

the defense was putrid but they also had nobody who could score goals, the defense just improved 10fold, but if risto was moved for a scorer, they'd both improve 5fold and maybe thats better overall
- robz228

I guess I should clarify, he can be moved, but you better be raping someone in a trade if he is.

context? 2nd thoughts as a player?

if they are having 2nd thoughts on him starting here next season, thats plausible

Congrats losers
- Just5

who do you want for Konecny

you can pay 2 d men, 3 when not paying a goalie


jack is the upper contract up front


if dahlin and casey become super stars, cross that bridge with ror when the time comes


right now the focus should be moving on from okposo, moulson and bogo
and signing asplund
nothing more, nothing less
- homiedclown

Yes, yes and yes. If Botts can get us out of 2 of the above contracts by the fall and sign Asplund, I will be very happy. Also, enough of the silly talk about trading Risto. Let's get rid of our best RD by far. Can you imagine a tandem of Dahlin and Risto for the next 10-years?

I posted yesterday that I hope the Dahlin selection doesn't make Botts do crazy GMTM things like speed up the rebuild. I think Botts is level headed and knows the importance of the long game. The Sabres fan base now actually has some hope for the future with Jack, Casey, Dahlin and Risto in the fold. Throw in young guys like Rhino, Guhle, Ulmark and EROD and I think the fans can see there is a bright future - if Botts doesn't do crazy short-term stuff. Personally speaking, i would be happy with a 25 point increase next year which will set them up nicely for a sustained playoff appearances the following year.

Having said all of the above, I do think that ROR is a dead-man walking on the Sabres. Regardless of his season ending commentary, the fact is that the Sabres can't afford to have his $7.5 million contract on the books for much longer. That's way too much for a 3rd line center who will be entering the downside of his career once this team is ready to compete. I do think he could bring us in a good haul because he has a great reputation around the league. Whether it's this year or next year, I am sure ROR's days are numbered in the 716 area.
