I just said if risto stays , mccabe is out of the top 4 IMO

risto is not holding mccabe back

those 2 are however the most disappointing d men for the sabres in the 18-19 season

how many games are those 2, not part of our 3 worst d men game in and game out

They've got some big decisions to make.

12 years of rebuild and counting

renew your season tickets

I am sure the black widow and her husband are going to raise the prices again

They didn't raise prices this year

Jeff Skinner isn't signing.

It's out of my system now. I feared I would explode under the wait of all this truth if I had to hold it in any longer.

He will not sign. It is over. Et tu, Jeff? Et tu!

hunwick playing over nelson so they can have 3 lefties and 3 righties

insanity

the coach would rather put a player out there who the team gets consistently hemmed in their own end when hes on the ice, than someone who is almost undoubtedly better just to keep 3 lefties 3 righties

make this nightmare end

We didn’t have 3 RH defensemen in the lineup prior to Montour for quite a bit
Nelson was our 3rd RH guy
And i think Tennyson is RH and played a few games up here

for a 20 yr. old who was basically thrown into a role that he really wasn't ready for, I think he's done well...plus his wingers have been varied with many of them being average at best...
9+11 isn't bad for a kid playing in that situation

- Michael Pachla


It’s still extremely disappointing
Most on here were looking for 50-60pts from him
Some even thinking he could jump right in like Barzal did last year for the Isles

I was on here last year cautioning that he might not be a stud right away,
but i never thought it would be this rough of a start for him
Figured he’d at least get 12-15goals & around 35-40ish points

Thanks sir
It’s making me nervous that this deal isn’t done yet
I don’t want Botts to wait to long & have Skinner decide to test the open market

To be fair, he’s wastes a half of season being injured.

As much as I’d like to see offer sheets,
I’d be pretty surprised if Botts actually did it

And we need Skinner AND a “Marner”
Not just 1 of them

Replace "Lakers" with "Sabres" and "LeBron" with "Eichel"

"Get Eichel some (frank)in help cuz these goofballs ain't gonna do poop"

very NSFW language. Might get a ban for this one
