Every seat had an ashtray though........

let him develop properly...no need to throw him into the fire
- Michael Pachla

Amen. We need to get the entire roster to this point. Too many pokers in the fire.

nitpicking...

On another note, I Was at the game last night. ROR’s best game I have ever seen him play. COL, BUF, STL

they call him "Chewy"

and, no he wasn't...he was a free agent signing
- Michael Pachla

Well nvm then... I had really thought we drafted him. Perhaps not.

norman fell and jerry stiller played the 1970's airplane ride experience perfect in airport 1975

still plenty of draft busts to entertain

nitpicking...

some think I demanded the sabres to trade eichel 20 times already

Too many pokers in the fire.

does this affect a vanek signing?

Sounds expensive. How'd you score tix?

totally agree...that's why trading Ristolainen doesn't make a lot of sense at this point...unless he wants to be traded, which by the sound of his locker cleanout interview, might be the case

He basically said they have to get tougher with one another in demanding accountability, but he used an expletive.

Also said it gets tougher to deal with every year, year after year.

So no Skinner?

Olives are fantastic...

So no Skinner?
- Stripes77

not yet

In fairness though.. the original question was what has the teams record been in Eichel's first year as a dig at the team's depth. If anything, you mentioned how much better McDavid is at individual accomplishments but STILL even worse in terms of team's record with him.... is a great argument.

Not to mention, McDavid even has another 100 pt scorer on his team and still finished worse than the Sabres.

Yeah but, emerging samson.....

Emerging and having a 100 point season are similar right?

Especially when the player is the posters " favorite current Sabres player"

Sabres fate would be different if they picked leon instead of Sam. John Jack would have 100 points.

actually my questions was the sabres record with eichel, vs the other super stars record in their first 4 seasons


this has nothing to do with reinhart

Only because the pot don't stir as well with Sam

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, another source believes that the Yankees are going to land Dallas Keuchel and that they are emerging as the "true favorites" to sign him.
This comes just minutes after Feinsand reported that the Yankees and Braves were the favorites and that their offers were believed to be similar. Perhaps something changed overnight, but it wouldn't be a shock to hear the Yankees have jumped in front. They could use another quality arm as the year moves along. All signs point to this situation moving quickly now that draft pick compensation is no longer an issue.


This is good for me
- SABRES 89


Excellent. I hope he signs.

Plus the team is finally inching to being healthy again.. more or less. It will be nice to get Didi, Stanton and Judge back.

So no Skinner?
- Stripes77

My guess is that the deal is done ..... skinner is in Cali and that’s why we haven’t heard anything.

Like with Kruger... the coaching search seemed to have cooled off. Why: botts / Kruger had an agreement in place a week prior to the announcement.

So Skinner presser is probably tomorrow. Going by that stupid logic, pure guess, and how botts handled kruger.

Why wait for 2020...
Eichel to NJ for 1stOA
Dahlin to Rags for 2ndOA
Skinner to Chi for 3rdOA
Reino (+) to Colorado for 4th
Mitts to LA for 5thOA
Montour to Detroit for 6thOA

In the 2019 NHL Draft the Buffalo Sabres select:
1st - Kappo
2nd - Jack Hughes
3rd - Turcotte
4th - Byram
5th - Cozens
6th - Cole Caufield
7th - Boldy

Only question is can they trade 30/31 + Nylander and 2020 2nd
For
Another to grab one of Krebs or Newhook
- IonSabres

If this was ALL possible... YES, please!
Let me attempt to be a little more realistic though

Eichel for 1OA (Hughes)
Mitts + Risto for 3OA (Byram)
Sam + Montour for 4OA (Turcotte)
*could these trades actually happen???
Pick Caufield 7th

Try & trade up from 31 (yes, 31 😂) to get Spencer Knight

This team finishes with a top3 pick next year
So add another stud...
For fun, let’s just say Lafreniere

Lafreniere-Hughes-______
______-Turcotte-Caufield
Olofsson-Asplund-Nylander
*or Lafreniere can play 1C/2C and we are crazy deep down the middle
*the other 2 spots in the top6 could be UFA vets that we sign to help lead the kids

Dahlin-_____ (ufa vet)
Byram-_____ (Borgen?)
Pilut-_____ (Laaksonen?)
*just got find decent defensive partners for top4
*maybe Borgen or Laaksonen?

UPL/Knight
*a real good chance one of those guys develops into a Top10 goalie... if not both


Of course... there’s no way this could really happen
But if it was possible,
I’d do it in a heartbeat

Ok... back to reality
