funny because the fans loved the speech from Terry when he bought the team, feeling we would be free of the golisano caps


8 years later ,we are back to 2010, without sniffing the playoffs

At the time, I generally feel like kerry meant every single word. He backed it up with some big ufa signings.
Paying multiple coaches in multiple sports.

They pretty much have all sucked. Players and coaches.

I'm not holding him to his word 9 years ago.
Things change. He backed his comments, up until the ror bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Mainly a pandemic, no ticket sales and a sinking fanbase.

You were fan #1 now your barely a fan.

I just liked how this was worded and who was involved. Sh*ts and giggles

Former Sabres prospect Cliff Pu, who was traded to Carolina in the Jeff Skinner deal, is headed to his fourth organization in less than three years.

Yep, that's probably it.

IF kahun scores 40 points for another team, we should just fold the Sabres. I just do not get the love.

He's a decent small 3rd liner on a lower 1/3 of the league team. I'm not overpaying for that sh't. Especially after watching the nhl playoffs.

What if we sign kahun or any other player to a contract that doesnt match up we our budget?
Fiscal responsibility is important as well.

I'm guessing he re-signs for less.
Kagm maybe has seen enough small softies?

Brayden Point lead the league in playoff scoring and is 5’9.

Who. Cares. How. Big. They. Are.

My son really hasnt beenpart if any positive hockey in his lifetime. I brought him to games with stars/ players he liked from around the league. 10 game win streak definitely lit a spark the year before.

Eichel is the ticket for me. A bonafide superstar playing 15/20 minutes from my house.

He enjoys hanging out playing pool/ darts at the pearl street more than the game. Good chicken fingers

And hedman at 6'6 was terrible right?
He had 10 goals as a defenseman.

You can have small stars on your team.

Just not tons of small players/stars and a bunch of soft players riding along.

Look at tampa. They get it. They added :

Coleman
Maroon
Bogo
Goodrea
Luke shenn

And probably more toughness I'm not listing.

Kuchorov is small but f'ing tough to play against
Marchant too.

I was a teenager when the Sabres broke into the league.

There's been nothing like the french connection since then.

Remember pickup games in the winter and I was always one of the french connection.

Anyways, time isn't on my side, they better start icing a competitive team!

Suck sometimes to be a diehard fan!!

Well my Son and his friends will watch the Sabres, but it's definitely not high on there list, things have definitely changed around here over the last decade or so.

Toughness ends up winning in the playoffs.

Not having skill or depth gets you the 8th overall pick yet again

Rhino just made 3.6 a year for the last 2yrs, Kahun should be right around 2.5mill or so, he still has things to prove.

I agree that’s where he should end up. Just saying people complaining about paying him that much are nuts.
