This was a response to coho.

Aside from a franchise and owner that has been proven to tank.

And WHO on the planet wouldn't want a shot at dahlin, the best defenseman possibly ever.

Why would we want to finsh 22nd?

your logic equates to everyone wanting to tank

that will do pig

that will do

What I don’t get is everyone, even the haters think O’Reilly is good but is “overpaid” by about 2 million. These same people then want to overpay Tavares by about 2 million. Overpaying someone is overpaying someone. It doesn’t matter who it is on the roster, Tavares at 11 million is overpaying him.

What’s also comical are the same people saying they would love O’Reilly at 5.5 million but would trade him and retain 2 million, basically making his salary 5.5 for us in that scenario

Tavares, Top 5 in the entire league in scoring in the last 5 years. 10-11MM is not an overpay for that.

Word on the street is many feel Bailey is a pu$$y....

Just passing along things I hear.
- dadeadhead

put him on a line with ror and vanek then

jesus christ you act like jb hand picked the (frank)ing roster
- TheSabresTaco

Who picked the (frank)ing line up then? You?

He signed a bunch of terrible players and did not get rid of the terrible players that were here.

You asked for a list of why? That is a list of why we ranked. A super week barely nhl roster designed to fail

your logic equates to everyone wanting to tank
- TheSabresTaco

Obviously some teams- just don't tank.

Some teams have a history of tanking.

Welcome to the buffalo Sabres franchise.

So you hate jbotts for such a terrible season
Brilliant!

Vanek took a beating.

There are pills for that?

Lou is trading an extended JT plus 11 + 12 for Auston Matthews.

TO is not sold on Matthews as a playoff performer and believes Marner has a better attitude

This is all an inside job. Lou still works for the Leafs

If I am trying to trade for a winger

I am targeting Huberdeau, Zucker, Athanasiou, Hoffman and Schwartz is who I would target

Soft and the dude has been working out with NHL players before he was drafted Smh

He even worked out with Patrick Kaleta And Gus how he is soft is Understandable

Is he tough?

He doesn't fight. He doesn't really lay huge hits - at least I can't think of a really good one.

What was your question again?
- Boss34

Why again?

Trade ror- yes if a cant miss trade. Keep him and let him play his game

Sam- why give up on a guy that went 2nd and is 22 years old? Yeah hes soft and might melt in the playoffs

Risto- our best defenseman in 20 years.
Young, difficult to play against, cost controlled

Makes no sense

Build around these guys, until we find a better solution.
See what they can do: when the franchise wants to win
- Boss34

1) Ryan O’Reilly will be 28 or 29 when we’re trying to fight for the playoffs his value is at the highest point you trade him and let’s not forget the game is going faster now he’s not gonna be able to keep up by then probably

2) I don’t trust a guy that all of a sudden starts playing half the season it just shows me he doesn’t have heart and he only cares about one thing “money” and the game is going at a faster rate and he’s not gonna be able to keep up to

3) Ristolainen Is very overrated on these boards I don’t think he’s a number one or franchise defenseman I’ve seen him get Beat on the easiest defensive plays


4) trading maybe two out of the three will help the depth of the organization for winger help and defensive help and Will get some young up and coming players that we can slot on the first or second line

pretty much


I think hoffman could be that guy


get a scoring winger for the second line


move out some of those prospects like baptise, nylander, bailey etc

use pick 32 if needed


move either mccabe or scandella



use those assets to get 2 wingers

or play casey on the wing, run with e rod as 3rd center


then push your chips in for 1 winger
