This was true the first 20 games

Not once since
- U Sir Name

Disagree. I feel the effort is much higher this year and have lost a lot of close games recently.

Dahlin has been good again tonight ...... that’s the only positive about all of this losing

Cab I just don't see this chemistry at all. Maybe I am missing something. What I see is a physically and emotionally weak team that has no definition or identity..
- rapperray

We have had a glut of player changeover the past 10yrs. Finally some regularity is showing .Its been a slow process..still slow

Ray .

Still time to make the right moves . Need to get the team on the same page before we start causing unfamiliarity on the bench. The team is starting to get some chemistry together . thats what the top teams in the league have .

Someone posted that in Botterill's presser he said he's done

This was a cap clear except oh wait no it wasn't.

The trade makes no sense.

Bogo asks for a trade? They should have waived him. It was simple.

They are running this team based on not wanting to hurt certain players' pride and feelings.

Frolik has to be better than a sheary or erod right?

Botts isn’t done but he realizes not playing those two players is addition by subtraction.
- IceColdBeer

No

Jack needs to stop forcing passes and shoot more. I feel bad for him.

Frolik has less points in more games than Sheary.

Hes on his way out.

He's here for 40 games and then he is gone.

This was a pure cap dump move for Calgary. There was no market for Frolik.

Which is another reason this move makes no sense. At least acquire a guy who you have the possibility of resigning next year.

Done..for the night? Week? No way he’d show his hand this far out from trade deadline.

Sorry this is just typical Buffalo fan psyche. Excuses, seeing diamonds in coal, glass half-full, moral-victory non-sense.

Hamilton started laughing during the intermission when his name was brought up. Said he has motivation issues.

Botts literally has no hand to show because he showed it on opening night when he had 10 NHL defensemen on his roster.

His hand was crappy and he let it be known.

Stop

But they will never get real quality without giving up some quality... Clearly they are unable to develope any young scorers...

We really don't know that . Bogo on the team is better than no one to replace him ATM. Trades just don't happen at the spur of the moment . What if the only offer for bogo was a scandella type player. would you do it ?

- jcragcrumple

Fixed

Once again, who is dealing that impact player at this point in time ? One whom isn’t a rental which would be a waste of our time ?

Scandella’s name has been in the rumour mill for months and we got a 4th.

Nobody wants our crap.
- Pegullaville

Obviously we werent landing a top 6 guy for scandella

The trade was a cap dump, to take on another cap dump

If it helps the team then whats the difference in a 4th round pick and a 5th or 6th, or whatever the offers were 2 months ago

Ours are still developing .

I'm sorry but this is incorrect.

Dahlin
Ristolainen
McCabe
Scandella
Jokiharju
Montour
Pilut
Miller

all had more upside than him.

Amazing... The Sabres make a couple of nothing moves and everyone here gets excited.... Last place still looks like the goal here...
- rapperray

Who’s excited? Tank is on

- IceColdBeer

Yes he would because he sucks....

Yes.
- ImThatGuy

Tough call

Complain, complain, complain, it never stops here.

Ours are still developing .
- cabin

Damn Cab... I have heard this developing crap for years... If not now then when? 10 years 20 years? 50 maybe?

Complain, complain, complain, it never stops here.
- SABRES 89

Complain about complaining

Over50 is that you?

What is there to be content with? You yourself are on here complaining for about the last 5 weeks after 4 months of hibernating.

Ray .. We still have a decade or so to wait . as long as we see progress forward
