With the exception of Vesey and Miller, whom we already have 2 other copies of, who have little to no impact one way or the other, all those deals are old.

My point is you can’t sit here and claim he’s wasted assets like Tim Murray, while also complaining he isn’t going to do anything.

It’s pretty clear he’s only trading prospects or prime assets for guys he envisions here long term like Montour and Skinner, both good, young players.

I think his downfall is Mittelstadt right now. He should’ve had a backup plan.

I also cannot believe they’ve continued to play Bogosian over Miller and have kept Pilut down. It’s unreal

I also think our coach has a thing for Marcus Johansson and it’s really bizarre. Botterill could trade for Ryan O’Reilly back tomorrow and I’m not sure he’s the 2C over Johansson

Put Skinner with Eichel.

Be a one line team.

It’s working for Edm and Boston.

Be more like them.

- ImThatGuy

The Oilers are basically in the same position as the Sabres right now, strong start but trending down, barely hanging on to a playoff spot, and they have McDavid. Don’t see why you want to try to be like them.

Bruins are more than a one line team, it allows them the luxury of playing those three together.

I don't know that it is so much a lack of grit as it is a lack of willingness to go to the front of the net. In the last minute of play we kept cycling the puck round and round the outside and there was not a single sabre where the goals are scored. You gotta give them that - nobody circles the perimeter like the Buffalo Sabres.

Did Miller do something to offend Ralph? Bogo shouldn't see another game, sit him till he's traded.

Once I saw Botts hand Skinner the new worst contract in the NHL I was done with him. He should of learned by inheriting that same horrible contract in Okposo.

paying a 40 goal scorer 9 mil per is far from the worst contract


paying kruger to play skinner with 4th liners is a much worse contract

Miller should be in the lineup. I don't care what we get for Bogo. Or just waive him, send him down the thruway.

Anyone can score on eichels wing, look at Oloffson. Skinner is on pace for like 23 goals this season in year one for 9 mill. Only gonna get worse year to year. He’s our new Okposo

acciari scored 7 goals in his past 4 games, back to back hat tricks. Huberdeau had an assist on 5 of them.

That is the impact a top end player has on a line.

Victor Olofsson is probably a 15-20 goal 45 point player and is going to get 60+ points on Eichel’s wing.

Ya ok...

Let this sink in. Kyle Okposo has a higher Points per game avg in his first two years in Buffalo than Skinner has this year. Yikes...
