I think Sullivan gets canned tommorow if the isles sweep.

He's the Sabres coach by the weekend


Might be reaching again?

I would agree with you

Not far fetched at all.

I am trying to rant w/o letting my blatant racism show through

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.

Lack of grit killed them.

Didn’t he have better numbers after his injury?

Im having trouble picturing TB making either one of those deals.

No more ex penguin coaches

He will be this year. Shows maturity, better o line, better receivers and a second year with Daboll.

hes an exciting kid

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

Probably, but...

Significantly beat the Wings’ offer
Double?
Give him a Gruden-like contract that he just can’t refuse

And give him certain perks, Like:

Detroit is pretty close
If his family still lives there or wants to live there, give him free unlimited use of the Pegula jet

With the way technology let’s us communicate now, allow him the freedom to work from home at times
Maybe he only works in Buffalo 3 days a week? Or something like that

Give him authority to up the salaries of some of the Tampa scouts to steal them away

Basically...
Try to make it impossible for him to say NO

Hell... offer him a small portion of ownership in the team even if that’s what it takes

the heat is off you

Probably. But crazier things have happened - see Columbus sweeping Tampa in 4 games.

OH MY

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.

The guy makes 10 million dollars a year.. be as pissed as you want.

How many elite players have missed the playoffs for multiple years of their career?

Eichel needs to mature a bit
His punk ass attitude is an issue

You don't say

Holy cripes, Tampa. This is hilariously amazing.

I could be wrong, but watching this round of the playoffs makes them feel very far away from the Sabres' level of play.

But Columbus is joke for barely squeaking in.

Out of all the team problems, he is the biggest. Move him for a 5th, no 22 year old shouldn't be ready to be a captain

I am legitimately happy for them

No doubt about that. I miss that feeling of nervous excitement for my team.

Playoff droughts suck for everyone.
