That roster is so much worse then the one we have now. They were historically bad by design. The Sabres will be bad but not like that
- Punch70

they didnt utilize matt ellis correctly, thats why they lost a lot

Might want to slot the Marlies and Crunch in there before the Sabres

Tampa just keeps making good moves. Tyler johnson , cap space. Smart within the rules.

Who's making the moves and was he part of the organization when stevie y was there?

Tdl moves , ltir 👍

You win the thread.

We have skinner olposo and captain skirt to score goals!!

I said Ristolainen,Sam I thought the value was a absolute steal for those 2 and you get Levi who in my book will be just like Miller is a really good deal .

You don't think
- gerbe75pts

Who knows...I like the Levi acquisition.
Draft was decent I guess, hard to tell...was smart going after Ruskies who actually played last season.

Just very disappointed that Hack hasn't been traded yet. Teams seem to be dropping interest and moving forward in FA. I hope he has a bunny up his hole and pulls out a miracle.

Saw hall and Oates at art park maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

Great show, there 1st time in buffalo since the 70's

I saw them at Melody Fair in the 90”s

Really? I agree to disagree. This team without ja Jack, Sam and any NHL goalie is
Going to be the same thing as those years.

There is still time for the goalie.

It was a compliance buyout so it doesn't count against the cap but I'm pretty sure Pegula has to pay that thing out for a few years still lmao.
- Sabre_Tooth

He is getting paid $857,143 every season through the 27-28 season 😮😮😮😬😬

Granato had them playing a little below .500 last year. We had ted (frank)ing nolan back then lol

Hey taco go out and sign nick richie!!! Need the grit!! And it will be fun to watch him play Boston!!!

I saw them at Melody Fair in the 90”s
- Frizzlefry

I must have misunderstood?

Pretty sure they said they hadn't been here since 1970.

Maybe they meant art park?

Are we talking a NHL goalie or just a Body in pads? Who is left?

aud early 80's maneater tour
seneca casino early 2000
finger lakes mid 90s
I think there was a darien lake show in the mix as well

- Punch70

I will certainly eat my words if granto can get this roster to
Play anywhere near .500 this year.

Using this logic - that the trade return dictates how good a player is

Ryan O'Reilly wasn't very good, correct?
- sbroads24

he just doesnt understand. He never will, there is no point in pointing it out to him.

With a nearly 40 goals pace Sam Reinhart.

He gone and no one is replacing him.

This team is going to be Eichel tank bad.

Maybe. Me and my cousin still laugh about it because we drank so much before the show, we’re like who gets that drunk for Hall And Oats?

Julian BrisBois is the GM and has done an outstanding job. He was Asst GM when Stevie Y was running the show...learned from a good one, but he is his own man.
Kept Cooper after the sweep by CBJ. Traded for Coleman and Goodrow...which was huge. Result was the back to back Cups as you know.
Now he had to find a reasonable RhD...done with Bogo who played absolutely great in the 1st SC run...and they'll bring up Foote for 3rd pair RhD.
He needs a 3rd line, as that entire line left...time for more youngins to transition in which they have groomed for last 2 seasons.
We'll see where it goes..I don't envision them finishing 1st ...probably 3rd in the Divison depending on injuries...but am hopeful for a three-peat
Go Bolts!!!

Sabres going to be tough to watch next season, positioning themselves to be a bottom feeder. Hopefully The Don can keep the youngins protected and motivated through it
GO Sabres!!

1. go back and look at that roster and then come back here. That roster was devoid of any talent and had an ECHL-level coach

2. I don't understand how people look at this in a transactional way. It isn't just a matter of swapping in player x for player y. Haven't we learned that? Teams are built. The right mix is often better than having a superstar.

he just doesnt understand. He never will, there is no point in pointing it out to him.
- Mentalorgasm5

Plot twist: Granato is low-key against the tank and will have the kids playing their asses off, they will be a bubble team and The Pegulas will be furious but can't:

a.) fire him for poor performance

b.) fire him for good performance

And will sell the team by next summer.

Fish and Adams are at it, fish is not happy, blaming this on the Sabres.
- SABRES 89

Who the (frank) cares? Tell his agent you shouldnt have told your client to sign an 8 year contract with us.

Perhaps Eichel needs a better agent than this fish.

Maybe. Me and my cousin still laugh about it because we drank so much before the show, we’re like who gets that drunk for Hall And Oats?

😀

I had a few drinks as well.

I thought they were really excellent.

Do you remember any of the show?

- Slump Buster

I did. The names are different but results will be the same.

Like I said. If Granto can get them to play anywhere near .500 he should win the Jack Adam’s trophy.
