Jack could finish with 200 points but the general consensus on this board is that assists don’t matter.

the biggest problem with the sabres, is they really are not in a win now position due to murray

have a lot of bad contracts, mostly due to murray


and do not have the prospects to be able to trade for short term help, mostly due to murray

the prospects we hoped would help a few years ago, bailey, baptiste, guhle and nylander are not on the roster, just not good enough or in baptiste's case moved on

murray pretty much ignored getting quality d men in the draft and few of his picks made outside the first fail to become decent prospects

then you look at molson, bogo, and okposo are really bad contracts, murray

assuming skinner signs, that trade becomes a home run, but still a chance he walks

the pilut signing was a great pick up, IMO we need to find ways to get more of them

the wild trade was parts for parts and even though pommer is a bad cap hit, we were in a position to absorb it, but scandella has been a huge disappointment

the ror trade, berglund and the pod racer have been meh at best, and we still have 15 more mil of them on the books after this season

49 contracts in the organization, hopefully down to 38 or 39 after this season to finish this mess murray made and start to turn the page



on the surface it's not as bad as it was, but when you take a deeper look, it's still a mess


middle 6 on the current roster is brutal

a few bad contracts

a few busts in rochester they should not offer a contract to once they expire

but the good is goaltending depth in the pipeline and finally have some D depth building in the pipeline


ain't got sh!t up front in the pipeline thanks to murray


right now, the best course is to get skinner locked up and addition by subtraction

rant over

Could be worse,

They could be St Louis and beating the snot out of each other during practice(said in Allen Iverson voice).

Can't tell if trolling.

Columbus is going to get (frank)ed because he doesn't want to sign there and everyone knows it. Chicago couldn't pay him $9M, so they got what they could.

he is not.. you forgots the negative.. you said they knew they could afford him so they traded him.. you meant they knew they couldn't afford him so they traded him.

Murray F'd the team big-time with aggresive moves to bring in "win now" players, no doubt.
Getting rid of so many assets may have been worse than some of the players brought in.

But Botts is culpable as well
Burgland
Sobotka
Hunwick
Scandella

are bigger problems right now than are
Bogo
Okposo

JBotts needs to unload Berglund's contract this year, somehow someway.
Okposo hopefully is a casualty for compliance buyout or Expansion Entry draft before too long...or goes to Moulson's AHL team

Think its moving in the right direction . Every team will have a few overpaid bad contracts. Most of them contracts are a few years in as they are surpassed by the new generation.

Hard to managed a great cap team. As long as every year it gets better regarding the players vs cap hit . we will be in a better place . But will never be perfect .
