One win in November. One.

I don't see more than one more on the schedule the rest of the month.

The tank is about to commence.

I'm sick of being the negative force about the team. I hope they replace the GM. His roster construction is awful and it's been evident for years. I didn't want to be right about this.

I loathe being the negative bumhole. Truly. I (frank)ing hate this.

There's a trade coming.

Let's see what it is.

If it's Tyler Toffoli and his 4 (frank)ing goals, I'll throw up.

I feel you. The roster is a disaster. You couldn't give this pile away at a yard sale. Totally uninspiring group outside of 3 players. Someday we'll look back at the Sabres 2013-2xxx whenever they finally stop the madness and just look at this never ending list of totally forgettable hockey players that came through this organization. It could easily be over 100 guys by the time this is over.

Burakovsky has 10 goals already.

That’s a piece we should’ve traded for.

That'll fix it.

And one more than Sheary has.

1. Force Pegula to sell the team.
2. Fire every single person in management employed by the Sabres.
3. Fire all scouts
4. Hire all new people and start from scratch.
5. Trade every UFA on this roster by the deadline.
6. Trade every player on the roster not named Eichel, Reinhart, Skinner, Dahlin, Jokiharju

I am completely serious when I say that I would rather see this happen tomorrow than to wait to see what Botterill can do with this team. 100% completely (frank)ing serious.

I’d be fine if they traded everyone besides Dahlin.

I genuinely feel bad for Eichel. On a human level. They are wasting his career.

Is it just a coincidence that we have been absolutely terrible for the decade or so since Pegula bought this team?

I am sort of with you on that. By the time this team is fixed, Skinner Eichel and Reinhart will all be past their primes.

How has it been evident?

You predicted that Vesey would pull a Leino? He's been nothing but consistent in his goal totals his 3 years in the league.

Mojo was a savvy signing.

VO, for all his shortcomings 5v5, is on pace for 28 goals and 56 points. As a rookie.

Eichel, Skins, Rhino are all top line or top 2 line players.

Vesey (as we KNEW him), Sheary, Mitts should have made for a decent 3rd line.

Mojo should not have been thrust into a 2C, but is fine as a 2W.

The 4th line is the 4th line.

Where was it evident?

- Powerslave

I
I think you need to assign a 33-45% decrease in production when projecting new additions to the Sabres.
It's a known graveyard.
Skins is an exception

Yeah at some point, as an organization you have to realize you're just trash and have to stop holding people hostage. There is no trade I'm against at this point. The Sabres are bad for hockey.

Me. 😁

Don't you know, we're all GM's here.

Unless he's getting the vote of confidence going forward, I would think that he's feeling some pressure to do something.

You trust Pegula to hire someone else? I certainly don’t.

No probably not but what Botts did this offseason -the decision to bring everyone back is unfathomable, no other rational human being would have done it

Oh it’s absurd.

But then again the coach refuses to change the lines, or actually play our good D men.

I’ve never seen this much ineptitude all around

Boston, Florida, Tampa, Calgary, Toronto, Toronto in the next 6.

How many points do we get out of this realistically?

It's going to get much, much worse.

- The_Inkwell


Fabulous.
10-8-3 all the way to 10-14-3 perhaps.
Points? POINTS!???!
How many goals will the Sabres score?
Over/Under 10?

We should trade Olofsson as soon as possible. His value will never be as high as it is right now. He is soft, he can’t win puck battles. He is small, will never hit, and wants to play perimeter hockey. If it weren’t for his shot, he would never make it to this level. We already have finesse players. We need size and grit to compliment them not another softy.

He had 2 shots on goal tonight out of all his shot attempts.

I never liked Rodrigues and have no idea why he makes 2M a year.

I hope they give Cozens another year to develop after this year. I am sick of ruining draft picks by rushing them here out of desperation.

Id trade Oloffsson in a heartbeat. I decided that after about game 10.

His shot is absolutely useless 5 on 5 because he has no idea how to get open or move on the ice.

The worst part is that he hasn't been effective on the PP in almost a month.
