I would like him to stay the course, I really don't want to give up future's, cause it got us in some of the mess we are in now

The way I see it, If I am not excited to have him on the team in 2023-2024, I don't want him.

This is only the beginning for this franchise. Eichel is in year 1 of his 8 year dominance of the NHL. Dahlin is not even close to being the player he can be. Joker is only 20. Olofsson has played 45 NHL games, Reinhart has room to grow if he isn't moved. I am excited for Cozens.

I would not overpay for a rental or anyone who will not be here for longer then 2-3 years.

Those two things are so far from being mutually exclusive.

Never said anything about tanking. Asset management is key.

This is the malaise we were warned about when we started the tank. Once you start accepting losing...

This team is not winning a cup this year. overspending for anything is pointless.

I never said that either. I said we should be looking to acquire a player that will be here for the long haul.

You know how I feel, Boss. It should have been done some time in the past year and a half. We're not going to see eye-to-eye on this. Merry Christmas to you and yours. We will argue in the new year, I'm sure
- jcragcrumple



Merry Christmas as well.

You do realize we were the worst team in the league and worst team in Sabres history a 1 and 1/2 ago?

Finished dead last 115 games ago?

So jbotts needs to trade for a 2c or just a trade in general? What would make you happy?


- Boss34

if he just traded a few scrubs, for late picks and call up pilut I would be ok

and give asplund minutes as a center

"The way I see it, If I am not excited to have him on the team in 2023-2024, I don't want him."

It just perfectly demonstrates the mentality of those who would continue to sacrifice the short term for the perceived great future that may never come.

A commitment to winning. That's all there should be. Botterill has fed this disease

Sorry I believe winning for 'now on" is much more important then trying to "win now"

You're pretty easy to please 😀

I just think our scrubs have to place here or anywhere in the nhl.

Who's making room for a playoff run will erod?
Bogo
Scandella
Sobotka

The trade deadline is nearing.

Good point with seeing what the young guys have.
