The Sabres always announce things on a timeline.
Generally around season ticket renewal
Or the season about to start.

I'm sure they have:

An Above the gm hire in mind
A coach or 3 they really like
Skinner signed already

This is a possibility that makes some sense and I hadn't thunk of it

I thought he said cups, not cup

You do not appear to have hearing loss

Playoffs would be like christmas morning when i was 6 at this point

GOOOOOOO COLUMBUS!!!!!

They had a Hockey President and that ended badly. I’m glad they saved the teams from moving, but this learning on the job crap really is getting old.
- c1067

the worst part, is they have asked for 5 years what to do, yet do not listen to the advice they are paying to get

I will say the bills look good right now, long term, I was wrong on beane

but it's not the time to learn on the fly when we are down to 6 or 7 more years of eichel, potentially

every locker room clean out day is like groundhog day

Wow... Columbus...

Columbus

The fact that jbotts repeated that it "was his decision " to fire phail says it all.

He lied in my opinion

To cover for the pegulas, who already have a valid reputation for firing people.

They hired phail too
- Boss34

That’s pretty flimsy “evidence”
But i suppose it could be true

Wow... Columbus...

Is Stamkos the worst playoff player of all time

All I can say is wow

Sort of off-topic here, but I'm still not convinced on Josh Allen. I don't think he's our answer for franchise QB. Don't know who is, but in my opinion, it's not Allen.

they own 5 teams?

and live in florida most of the year

being a nhl hockey president or nfl president

one of those is a hands on full time job, let alone 2 teams
and 3 other teams

and residing 1200 miles south of the stadium and arena

You’re talking like i disagree that they should hire a Team President
I don’t
I’ve been saying to throw $$$$ at Yzerman for months now

- kritter65

we will know more in years 2 and 3 with better weapons and a better o line

part of this accuracy tag he got, IMO is due to blah receivers in college and on the bills roster last fall

he has heart and guts, have not seen that since flutie behind a bills center and lays it all out there on every play

very non orton

Off 1 year? He had no running game, a terrible offensive line and garbage wide receivers. I would give him a few years before I would make that comment.

Yes, but isn't it the worst kept secret that he'll end up back in Detroit?

- kritter65

I agree
But he’s a long term project
Even after this season, i don’t think we’ll know how good he can or can’t be yet

I think Sullivan gets canned tommorow if the isles sweep.

He's the Sabres coach by the weekend


Might be reaching again?

To me, it looks like Eichel is getting sick of losing here. How many years like this one, before he asks to be moved? I hope his patience is unlimited, but something tells me he wants to make the playoffs before his career is over.

We still don't know what the plan is from JB. Is he gonna gun for the playoffs, or a top five draft pick? Does he stand pat and bring back all the RFAs, and make a minor tweak here and there. Or does he feel the need to take a big swing on somebody(s)? And what player is going to look at this team from the outside and say "this is where I want to be long term"?

Very interested to see what he does this offseason.

He's a Penguin. Botts might be waiting for him in the parking lot right now.

GM's sometimes do desperate things when things don't work out the way it was supposed to. Botts might get interest in a Risto for Point or Risto for Sergachev trade with Tampa.
