Cool rant
Enjoy wallowing in your own misery dude

Unfortunately,
it’s time to move on from Jack & Sam

We’ll try again with a new rebuild
Best to accept it

- jdfitz77

We agree on something. Its time to move on.

Reinhart, Risto and Eichel weren't getting it done

Not something we have control over
And nothing can be done now about Sam
I liked him as a player
But he’s gone now- and that’s ok

- jdfitz77


Read my earlier comments, but how he was handled is what I have a problem with.

I don't care that he's gone. It's the why that bothers me.

McDavid and Matthews and Marner aren't getting it done either. But they have a small supporting cast. You need a big supporting cast.

We gave our star player crap to work with and this is what we get.

You all won't be surprised to find I hate the Reinhart trade... Listening to his comments, sounds like he wanted to sign here long term last couple of years but the moronic GM's of Buffalo's past (frank)ed that up.

In the end, we traded a perennial 20 goal scorer who was 11th in goals last year, who we tanked for and who was finally becoming elite as a center in Donny's system

For....

A 19 year old goalie who is barely 6ft tall, has played for some team called the Carleton Place Canadians... He did play well in the world juniors, a lot of players have done so and sucked. Goalie is such a crap shoot.. If you're going to trade for a goalie prospect, get one that has a little more seasoning under his belt. Not one who is going to Northeastern state...

Reinhart should require a teams 3rd or 4th best prospect. I get he was an RFA, but it sounds like he's eager for a fresh start and will sign a longer deal... If this was the best Adams could get, he should have convinced Reinhart to stay and tried to flip him at the deadline. I get it's a risky move but this trade is a joke...

At BEST we may see returns from this trade by 2025, that's at best. That will make the Sabres post season drought 14 years long! In a league where half the (frank)ing conference makes the playoffs every year.

I'm expecting Eichel to the Rangers for a 1st, their 4th best prospect and a mid-tier 25 year old player

In short, you overvalued sam.

Kevyn Adam's made 2 good trades of longtime losing players for futures.

Very unlikely kevyn was great on one and horrible on the other. Unless he's a spilt personality.

Really so its been how many years since they missed the playoffs?

How many goals does Eichel have in the playoffs? How about Reinhart?

You defend these guys they cant even make the playoffs.

You're missing the point! They have small supporting casts of solid players and good goaltending. We have 3 stars and the rest is crap

Imagine defending Risto, Eichel and Reinhart who have a combined zero playoff games between them.

Adios.

So who has a take on jack?

Traded before free agency opens?

With the solid return on Risto and meh return on Sam, does that influence Jack’s deal?

I like that GMKA has stood firm, I hope it continues…

Byfield and ‘22 first ++… come on Blake … blink!

I will sum it up like this.

Imagine getting upset losing Reinhart, Risto and Eichel because we might be worse now?

Seriously? Who thinks like this? We were last friggin place.

Have fun getting excited about an underwhelming Eichel return too all!

Unless we get Rossi +Boldy or Zegras or a player of their level it will be a failure. I can't sit here and listen to this crap anymore, just know, just like the ROR trade before this, this will come back to bite the Sabres in the ass in about a year. See everyone when Eichel leaves...

Not sure if that's accurate?

I'm a Sabres fan, pegula's or no pegula's.

I'm looking forward to winning.
Coming in dead last place should send red flags.

4 of 8 years now . Havent you noticed?

But sam and jack those guys are great.....
Risto too...... he's the best

Your rant was great 🎟

It's time to start anew and not hang on to leaders of a bottom-feeder team. It really can't get much worse and can get better.

Eichel is a baby and if we even get Rossi and 1st I will consider it a win.

We will have 3 1sts in next years draft and Dahlin and Power on the back end for the next 10 years.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Fan69 - getting in done this afternoon

How much worse can it be without risto passing the puck to the other team. Sam playing with little passion and eichel (kinda) looking to the rafters and celebrating by himself.

Although eichel's on ice performance is difficult to find

You know what? No one is forcing me to drink the Sabres kool-aid infused with cyanide that is this board.. I'm a fan of this team because I grew up a fan of this team and I'll root for them if I choose to. Not you or anyone else can tell me otherwise. But as an organization and that's ownership to the gm, they have ruined my love of the game too! Just like good to great players of the team the last 10 years... I got ran out of here when I was pissed about the ROR deal and history is repeating itself again. I'll let reality do the talking. Talk crap about me all you want. I'm done.

Eichel's skill will be replaced by Wright or Savoie

I am glad Adams and co. Realized these guys aren't the guys you build around.
