I get it

but..... AM and PT should get in over some of these guys
- homiedclown

He’s been waiting 20 yrs.......

I know it’s early still and we are not at freak out stage yet but this team reeks of same as last year.

They also do not get the benefit of the doubt either from me.

Remi freaking Ellie, why. WHY?

Kruger better be a damn godsend for this team.
- ImThatGuy

How dare you sir. Matt Ellis is not happy.

I liked him a few years ago (rookie year) but I guess he had a bad year? Is that the reason they're letting him go?
- mhp

He’s been straight awful.

But unlike Buffalo normal team see bad players and say yea we don’t want ya bad.

Buffalo sees Remi Ellie and others and says oh we need to keep that.

Vladimir Sobotka
Zemgus Girgensons
Johan Larsson
Kyle Okposo
Marco Scandella
Matt Hunwick
Scott Wilson
Casey Nelson
Remi Elie

Sobotka will be in the beer leaue in Bratislava.

Elie- Rochester

Larsson- SHL

Girgensons- Avangard KHL

Feel better? If not, Al has some leftover tea.

I can get behind the Dahlin partner issue. We found Jack his scoring winger, next up our franchise defenseman. I get that completely.

So swap Risto for a more defensively sounds RHD. Flip McCabe for Vesey. Sign Marcus Johansson. We're good?

The only issue I have in the plan is trading next year's 1st. We could very well be picking top5. If we are, you don't want to be in Ottawa's situation watching Byram go to Colorado...
- RhinoFan

This cuts to the heart of the matter. Why on Earth is this GM getting a 3rd year if we're expecting him to finish bottom-5.

I feel like I'm living in crazy land

Can we talk about Keith Thachuk not being in yet?

500 goals

1000 points
- Stripes77

He’s going to going to be like Andreychuk.

Gonna be a while

Nothing about this roster makes sense. He traded for Montour who is basically Risto with a better outlet pass, but there's still no plan for who is going to play with Dahlin.

Is Risto there? Montour? Bogo? None of those make sense. The d is completely unbalanced. We don't have a capable defensive defenseman. So someone has to go there.

Up front, it's looking like Erod at 2b center, which is not good enough.

So who/what to trade?

Risto, next year's 1st or any pick, the first the year after that, McCabe, Nylander, Samuelsson, Asplund, idk anything.

A GM can't simply sit on his hands and wait to be good

Everything all right at home, brother??

You seem a bit on edge. Tense, even.

Perhaps the sweet kiss of the brown liquor....

patience is a good thing

according to our gm and owners

Anyone hear that financial advisement commercial that constantly runs on the Radio.com (WGR) app? The guy talking in the commercial claims a random 11 year old girl will beat the winner of the Tour De France in a 3 mile race EVERY TIME if both are racing on a tricycle. I'd like to see the supporting data for that. Sounds like something Botterill would say. Dude must've got his MBA from Michigan. The Wharton of the Big Ten. What a putz of a GM we have.

- jcragcrumple

The crazy part is, after signing all the RFAs the Sabres don’t have a lot of cap space left to make moves.

Figure McCabe 3.5
Larsson and Girgs 2-2.5
Erod - 1.5-2

so you are looking at having roughly 9 mil in space to improve this team.

How is that possible.

Sobotka is 3c, Larsson is 4C and mitts is riding shotgun with Erod at 2c currently

I wouldn’t put it past this team to have him in The 4th line.

There is no point to even have him here.

Just do something to help the top 6. I really don't care what. (frank)ing okposo and Nylander are currently neck-and-neck at 2RW

I hope we see CJ Smith and Asplund before Elie in Buff.
