They really gotta try & force this owner out
He’s a disaster

Melnyk is a puppet, Bettman guaranteed him a bucket of cash when they move them to Quebec.

It’s all a show

That’s quite the markup for 2 years
752,000 to 985,000...
I think Eichel got suckered here

- jdfitz77

Or... he bought it for 752k turned around and dumped 300k in additions and renovations and lost money on the sale..

but more than likely its more because of hte housing market right now, plus jacky boy thinking he has money to blow

It's a very intense market around here. It has ballooned big time in the past 2 years.

I'm just glad the Sabres GM was able to get his home from the ex-Bills GM and keep it in the #OneBuffalo family

Nylander still has crazy skill though
So did Grigorenko though i guess
We also should remember that this is actually YEAR ONE of Nylander’s ELC
He’s super young still
I think too many ppl on here thing a pick needs to be a Star right away

It’ll hurt if Nylander goes on to kill it elsewhere...
but like i said, if he gets us a “Star” player,
then we can’t really be too upset even if Nylander becomes a Star himself

- jdfitz77


I don’t think ppl expected him to destroy the league as soon as he was drafted, but a decent season in the ahl for an 8th overall pick would be nice.
His issue imo is he has shown next to nothing since being drafted, went to the wjc as an almost 20 year old and put in like 7 points only one was a goal. That’s not what is expected from a high draft pick almost two years into his development, sure he’s young but if he doesn’t take a huge step this year, he’s moving into bust territory imo.

we added Conor Sheary, Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka, Tage Thompson, Carter Hutton and now Skinner.


We lost Ror Pu and crumbs



we have 3 first rd picks


and f@cking Dahlin

- homiedclown


I actually have hope that this team will be in contention next year. I know that isn't the common ideology, but we added a lot more than we lost...AND personally I believe we underachieved last year.

Healthy Eichel, strong showings by Mitts and Dahlin, Skinner scoring 30+ and some solid goaltending...we won't be a powerhouse by any means but a playoff caliber team??? This clown says perhaps.

its gonna be tough for anyone to really know how the Sabres are going to play this year.. half the team is new and only the second year of coaching for Phil..

I could see them strugglingly mightly out of the gate and digging a hole they just can't building themselves out of but i also see them starting with fire and sticking with the upper middle all year to contend for a spot.

Completely fair assessment. We are a wild card. I'm just digging it.

I like the additions and the roster looks much better than last year. Housley is my one big question mark. Hiring Steve Smith somewhat negates that but we'll see how Howie does.

definitely agree. I hope Olofsson has a strong camp and makes the team. I would like to see him on the third line. 3 lines with speed and skill and potentially a serviceable 4th line. If they have the players to roll 4 lines, quick shifts they will be fun to watch.

MGMT: Throw the season for Dahlin or your fired
Housley: Ok

Can't put last season on Housley.

Devils have a pretty good team, so would say they're another on par club, but that's the point...if we are greater than or equal to most of those teams, we're in for some exciting hockey finally.

I am so ready. Long time coming.

I remember them playing Frederov at defense a bit one playoffs bc a couple guys got hurt

Really tough to compare though

OV is one of the best goal scorers in nhl history

Frederov was great, OV is generational

- jdfitz77



Bowman said Federov would’ve been a Norris winning defenseman.

Just saying
