Patty LaLa wanted Murray as GM but he couldn't be Prez of the Islanders or Sabres for a month. Are facts a problem here?

Good listen Cong, kid sounds like he's all heart. Love it, McBean have brought a different attitude here, bringing back BLUE COLLAR and that's what this area is.

Well yeah, good with that attitude. My buddy that works for ESPN was in town and stopped by yesterday for some afternoon cocktails. Said he heard that Beane should be signing his extension this week sometime, trying to get it done before the opener.

Can you stop being full of it every one knew it was Babcock the 2nd best choice was Dan who coached jack before the draft ..

And the goal was to tank with Rolston and Ted everyone In the NHL knew we were tanking

And murry was Rated the number 1GM that was a free agent that everyone wanted..

But continue

the sabres are in the nhl, what the washington football team is in the nfl

biggest joke in the sport


you can try to defend them all you want


the sabres have the worst record since pegulas bought them

the last 40 or so games, they were a bottom 3 team


jack eichel is probably the only superstar to play in the nhl for 5 seasons and not even come close to being in a playoff game, ever

I still think the Sabres are the Detroit Lions of the NHL.

Eichel = Stafford.

I also happen to think both franchises are just a few tinkers away from being really competitive really quickly

if i remember correctly, the power battle was above murray between patty lala and those who wanted to tank...at the forefront of that battle was trading miller and, i'm assuming, keeping miller around like lafontaine wanted would have messed with their tanking plans...

would you agree with that?

Yeah its their fault for listening to the fans and people in the NHL all they did was bring in the top rated coaches and gms you wanted.. went after high priced free agents to buffalo that everyone wanted ..

They have tried countless times to bring super stars to buffalo and have gotten. Taken advantage of...

But please Continue to blame them for everything Just be happy they interfered with jack signing or he gone already

Think about that

lafontaine didn't want tanking wanted both miller and ott signed to 7 year contracts and got mad when he found out he had zero power to do that..

Everyone in the organization knew The only way to bring in elite talent was to tank..

So what you’re saying is they brought someone in who had a completely different vision than they did. Fantastic

Tanking is a proven method of winning championships. The three most successful teams of the last 20 years all spend the better part of the early 2000’s in the toilet (Pittsburgh, Chicago, LA). The Kings are taking their turn in the toilet again currently and will be primed to compete again.

If you’re not a top 5 roster, better off being a bottom 5 roster. All those teams in the middle are stuck in purgatory for the most part.

Montreal and Minnesota have what to show for their playoff appearances while teams have tanked and have since passed them ?

If Pat LaFontaine really wanted a 7-year contract for Steve Ott, he should never be allowed within 3 miles of any NHL team's front office ever again.
