They won't protect Skinner. He is a freebie because Seattle won't take that contract and if they do WTF cares? Points for us, we get that contract off the books.

We are forced to protect Skinner with his NMC
Read the expansion rules

I want to win games... I get it really I do, but this is not the 90's. We need players that can actually play.
- hehateme

boston and tampa always push us around

we have no response on the scoreboard
or with physical responses

Bill's are blue collar. 10-6 .

Hardworking guys, no real superstars.

- Boss34


They're going to need some if they're ever going to win a Super Bowl.

Also, Tre White is a superstar.

Oliver is most likely going to become one, as will Edmunds, hopefully.

Allen will need to become one on the other side of the ball.

he loaded up on d men and expected to move one didn't


his soccer coach is wrecking casey instead of making him better


this is year 3 for botts, and he was suppose to turn this corner

they simply have not


if you think pegula is fine with this result, you might be in for a surprise after they clean out the locker room this spring

- homiedclown



Honestly, don't you think the timeline changed a bit, by drafting an 18 year old defenseman?

He could have taken svech or thacuck to speed up the process.
Jbotts is safe, he is building for his future.

He has 1 draft pick playing here. A guy with 11 goals in 1 and 1/2 seasons. The 19 year old kid

we have not had a decent coach since him

but money is no longer an issue for the sabres


1. rolston
2. bring back nolan
3. disco sucks
4. rookie coach
5. soccer man


to go with 2 rookie gm's

- homiedclown



Where exactly has $$$ been an issue?
I get your frustration
But throwing something like that out there makes no sense
If $$$ was the issue, he wouldn’t be paying coach after coach + GMs to leave

I watched the Canada game. Flipped on the Russia game at commercial breaks during the Bills game. Followed this one on twitter because it's better than work.

White is a top 3 CB in the league

Oliver is a stud in making and so is Edmunds

They absolutely need Allen to be one or close to one and get him a stud WR

With Soderberg and Haula instead of Miller and Vesey, I bet we're talking playoffs

Correct. I really wish someone like NBCSN or even Fox Sports 1 would pick it up, but that would never happen.

this season is lost


if dressing a goon, lets eichel and dahlin avoid concussions for the next 40 games, I am fine with it

- homiedclown


I don't think dressing a goon does a damn thing to prevent head hunting. Players will continue to take runs at our best players because the NHL set it up that way. They will not be scared one bit because we have a goon in the line up. or are they scared of what the NHL will do to them. Case in point the hit on Dahlin. Dahlin out 8 games with scrambled egg brains and a repeat offender Cernak get a slap on the wrist of 2 games..

Scott Stevens became a Devil as compensation for the Blues signing Brendan Shanahan as an RFA in July of 91.........
- dadeadhead


That wasn’t a move the Devils made though
If they wanted Stevens, they’d have drafted him

Only Guerin was a core piece from all those picks

- jdfitz77

for starter

if money was never an issue, ror would still be a sabre

and there would be a director of hockey ops

and we would not have the rookie gms and head coaches, or some guy from left field that ran a soccer team


you pay for the best
overpay if you have to


the second any great head coach hit the market, pegula should have been on the phone offering that person the most money in nhl history


instead we rotate from one rookie gm to another
one blah head coach to another

drink the koolaid

and wonder 5 years later why eichel has never played in a playoff game



seriously if they don't turn it around in 12 months, he will want out and dahlin will be a few years behind him

How exactly has the futbol coach wrecked casey? He has barely shown glimpsing flashes of being the player we thought we were drafing. Goes to rocha and poops himself so far. Its on him

If pegula is in fact part of or the entire reason oreilly and kane were shipped out hastily, then who cares if he is upset or not. He is part of the problem

Tre white is a budding superstar. Good call.

The rest are blue collar winners.
