I just do not see it, plenty of built in excuses...

Anderson was great ,he got hurt. Thought he was ready, then his injury deteriorated....
Tokarski was fine, he got hurt ....
Upl was ready, we wanted to let him develop ....

The perfect storm of excuses.

This move was a designed dignified tank4... in the offseason.....

Do you really think they will address the situation with a real nhl goalie?
- Boss34

Nope I doubt it

In the tank years they had to trade goalies because they were playing too well...now they just shoot for their heads in practice

Murray would set us back until his contract is over.

Take the pick early this season.
Sign or trade for a goalie this offseason

He's signed for two more years. He wouldn't be my first choice to go after, but his contract doesn't really hurt you, especially with retention.

Much rather have Holtby.

Buyout is pretty reasonable on the cap hit, under 2.5 for 4 years if done after the season (I think). 10M in real salary though, yikes.

someone here mentioned that a while ago...can't remember who or the player mentioned

Well I know they called Washington, mentioned that a few blogs ago.

Murray's abitlity vs. The retained contract amount doesn't upgrade our goalie position enough to compete for/in the playoffs. IMO.

Also, acquiring murray should keep the Sabres from picking top 5.

And, may prevent the Sabres from shopping for a better goalie than murray. Even from within the prospect pool, over the next couple years.

Stay out of traffic and drink/breathe the ample amount of fluid/oxygen

Tokarski is at practice. No Holtby.

Murray is a concussion away from eating fruit out of a can.

The paying $ out of Terry's wallet also doesn't make alot of sense. Budget pandemic team currently.

Speaking of Terry, member when he was a terrible owner for allegedly wanting tage Thompson in the ror trade and on the current roster......

He was very "high" on josh allen too.

Rhino, make sure your phone is off silent. They may need you

No calls just yet, but I've already got my pads on just sitting on the couch.

Teams smell blood on the Sabres right now, Adams might have to wait!!

meh...it's not that much blood...i don't think that it's imperative that the sabres bring in a bigger name goalie considering the season they had planned on to begin with...i really think there are teams smelling blood in the dallas stars waters moreso than buffalo's

Casey Mittelstadt and Jacob Bryson will be in the Sabres’ lineup against Florida, said coach Don Granato.

Dustin Tokarski is also good to go.

Craig Anderson is on the trip. He’s skated on his own, but Granato didn’t have additional updates.

Full contact? That could get interesting. Get the whistle ready, Stripes.

Firedman on Instigators (WGR550) version just said Sabres are looking to upgrade Goaltending position.

We've been bad. But get Tuch, Mitts, Bryson and Anderson back, maybe we can give Detroit a run for that WC spot.

I'm game. I'd play out though, gotta scum Pachla early to set the tone.

I've worked in education the last 20 years and disagree with a lot of your statement with regards to teachers being the ones to blame. I see first hand the amount of hours and care they have for their students.

The issues i see most with teachers come from administration and the us vs them division. It seems like they're constantly work against each other The issues i see most with students comes from absent or bad parenting. A lot come from broken and poor homes where the only thing they have to eat or have some sense of stability comes from school
- Up2nuthun

I'm more talking about the "new guard" of educators, but they are but a result of a completely corrupt and archaic system.
