Michael Pachla: A Sabrecentric recap plus some news to feast on this Fourth of July

Let us hope that the new guys pan out for us. Hopefully, my fellow fans are patient but we do want to see improvement and at least, some entertaining hockey.

Let’s hope for a big trade today

gerbe75pts to the leafs for a bag of week old apple fritters

I don't think Botterill is "done" but I do not see anybody else significant coming here unless he decides to move Ristolainen, which he doesn't seem interested in. O'Reilly was the big trade chip, and now he's gone.

that's a sabres thought worth advocating

Who? O'Reilly was the biggest piece we could move.

Big trades are done for the sabres.

he's probably thinking risto and/or trading for a top-six lw

sheary, berglund, sobotka, nylander, bailey, baptiste, olofsson, o regan, cj smith, e rod, wilson, oglevie, larsson, girgensons


last time I checked only 4 can play left wing on any given night

Risto better not be on the move.

After the last go around with Murray, I'd rather just keep the 3 1st round picks this time. Lets do the rebuild right.

with their first pick in the seventh round they took defenseman Miska Kukkonen out of Finland.

Sheary was traded for to help fill a gaping hole at left wing for the Sabres while Hunwick may end up in Rochester.

Disagree Pach. I honestly think Hunwick is here in the Gorges role. he might be box-bound for half the season, but I feel like he's definitely here for the leadership/culture swing.

Oh, and one more thing.......

it would seem as if junior is not thrilled with risto...and because they didn't get a top lw prospect in return for ror, many believe botts should do what's necessary to get one...

i'm with you...keep risto and the picks

could be...it's july

that's more like it

I agree, there aren’t any available lw that I really want.

I’m ok with not rushing, and gmjb moves so far have my trust he will do it right.

yeah, but can we take one more year of your eyoresque comments?
