I could use a vacation

I’m over it ..

No, probably not. The depth is better, but the high-end talent is worse. If you believe in addition by subtraction, we might be better. Can't be worse than 31, but can be 31 again. I like the Sheary and Hutton deals.

I don't know poop, so maybe we are better. If I'm watching another year of spinning, falling Girgensons and whatever the (frank) Larsson does, I will be more mad than if we traded Eichel for Dylan Strome and and Lygma
- jcragcrumple

I think the on paper talent is worse TODAY, but I'm buying into the notion we're a better overall team.

I'd take Patches or Skinner for Jacks wing. Just not sure what I would pay.

In a vacuum, sure. Those contracts will both be regrettable, especially Patches.

Maybe I'm a homer, but I've been ultra supportive of everything the Bills have done since beane came in. I was extremely against the Watkins trade at first, but after a little time and some analysis, it started making a lot of sense. Fix the *culture*, the team somehow plays just a little better because they realize no one is "the guy" and they all have to play a little harder to fill the void. Say what you want, but they made the playoffs. They drafted a runner up D rookie of the year with the 27th OA pick. They grabbed their QB and the best MLB in the draft by giving up a 2 2nds and a 3rd. I love what they're doing, I love the attitude, I love the scouting talent, I love the trading, I love the roster churning, I love the vision, and I love #theprocess. I'm all in on that team. Haters can hate, don't care.

If the Sabres can run their team like the Bills, we'll be good in no time.
- TheSabresTaco

Agreed.
I did not want Allen, and I voiced it. Now I am pulling for him big-time...and hope for the following...
- he becomes the back-up and gets a fair amount of game time later in games to enables his development without the pressure to win now.
He needs that development, but his physical skills are there.

Overall, love the direction of the Bills - and that is a huge change with how I felt 2 years ago.

Exactly what we need to mend a Brocken locker room. Dahlin needs to learn to be a pro. Along with all the other young guys. We lacked experience and leadership. Now we have it, last move of the year will be a top 6 lwer and all will be well.

I know this has reached an almost comical stage, but let's not discount the fact that Berglund is a Swede. Hopefully making the transition for Rasmus all the easier. I wanted Stralman, but Bergy will do

Regardless of what your opinion is of Patrik Berglund as a player, let me just say he is an unreal person and one of the best people to ever come thru STL. #Sabres getting a beaut #stlblues

I want skinner younger and could legit get 40 with jack

Patches is to old for me

The (frank) you are.

I’m good with both of these

Skinner one

To be fair, it turned out that the Bills had a much better defense than we realized. Rex Ryan ruined it that much. The Sabres don't have that. They've had a talent deficiency for quite a while.
- buffalofan19

I agree. That's what having a smart GM in place, plus some drafting luck. We always knew the defense should be better, based off of Jim Schwartz's ability to get them to be great. Rex (frank)ing sucks. (frank) that guy, and (frank) Whaley.

I think the on paper talent is worse TODAY, but I'm buying into the notion we're a better overall team.

And we just witnessed one of the greatest "teams", in the sense of the word in your post, take their inaugural season all the way to the finals.

Not sure how they acquire that #1 LW...Risto or Sam on the trade black now?
I wouldn't move either one right now...I guess at this point I am praying that one of the youngsters cn step up and surprise some people.

So What wingers you got for me ?

AA would be nice start
- gerbe75pts

So let me get this straight.

Berglund - 60 points last two years, complete crap
AA - 62 points last two years. First line Winger for Eichel.

1 Thomas
2Kyrou
3 Kostin
4) Dunn
5)Thompson
- gerbe75pts

Luke Adam used to be a better prospect than Marcus Foligno.

So let me get this straight.

We would lose Bailey and Baptiste, probably through waivers. Not sure if you would care

Richardbag O'Reilly -> Sobotka, Berglund, Sheary, Hunwick, Scandella, Hutton

We've got some vets with playoff and cup experience that can actually play hockey.

So let me get this straight.

Berglund - 60 points last two years, complete crap
AA - 62 points last two years. First line Winger for Eichel.
- ImThatGuy

AA is 22 and just hitting his potential he’s fast and already had what 18? On the 3rd line I believe

And berglund is 30 so I believe Those two are not comparable
