Marian Hossa says hello

TJ Oshie was one of Washington’s best players hands down.

That’s off the cuff

It’s not that cut and dry

LA wasn't doing anything with Kopitar and doughty until Carter and Richards showed up

How are the vibes going to be if the Sabres finish 7th in the division this year
- Hank Balling

Andrew Copp would've certainly pushed us up to....7th still?

god bless him

The post Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante to Round Out Pantera Lineup for 2023 Tour: Report appeared first on Consequence.

Didn't 89 say we were last night?
- Powerslave

He did
But it went against everything he's said up to this point

What changed?
Is pegula involved again ?

maybe the owner should not have named buffalo hockey heaven and promised money is no longer an issue and the sabres purpose moving forward was to win cups


his words, not mine
- homiedclown

I watched along with you.

We are in the same boat my guy

Why sign anyone ever honestly.

Pat Kane, would push up up to 7th still no?

They signed a player 2 years removed from league MVP last year. How'd that go?

July 1st is a cesspool of bloated, undeserving contracts.

they could finish dead last in the division

Great forchecker.

End of résumé.
- Powerslave

Interesting that all these guys from last year are still finding jobs.

All still playing on NHL contracts

Andrew Copp would've certainly pushed us up to....a better team

The Sabres would be better and Detroit would be worse. If the Sabres have the same season as they did last year, what are we really doing here? As it stands it's hard to see them gaining ground on anyone

Seems like you would be happy if the Sabres were in dead last.

Wow , Detroit is now better than us, ..... in july

Didnt you watch and relate to the team last season since tuch showed up.

We have such a young team, most should be better then last season. More in synch with the coaching staff and each other.

Injuries happen.... last year was brutal

OK, but he's not worried about "gaining ground" right now. They are developing their kids, many of whom will probably be better this year.

Not my words. They are his. This is the reality. Many don't like it. Many others understand it.

nope, tempered expectations given the last 11 years

I expect the best, sadly I thought they wanted to be the best as well


the room is clearly divided as those who wished a few decent moves happened are now the villains


I would think as a season ticket holder, you would want use to strive to at least be as decent as detroit and the sens given the cap space we had


if this team gets 70 points next season, what do you think should happen?

detroit added husso, copp, kubalik, perron, chiarot and maatta


that's 6 decent additions w/o giving up any assets other then a 3rd round pick for the rights to husso

Patience!!
- Buff36

I have brought this up 3 times now in 3 days and nobody who is bashing those that wanted a decent addition or 2 have answered


what do you do with donnie and adams if this team has another 70 point season

or reverts backwards to 65 points?


average gm tenure is 3.5 years

detroit added husso, copp, kubalik, perron, chiarot and maatta

- homiedclown

I'm shocked about Copp, he was right in there in there price range and they wanted him before the trade deadline.

I think the difference between us:

I fully expected to sign none of these big free agents
I'm realistic and not disappointed


If pk88 goes to the Bruins for a 2nd , it would be disappointed.

We have a great young group of likeable guys,
KA, donnie, okposo, girgs

All good leaders

Couple 1OA guys looking forward too....
Tons of talent in this franchise.

We bounced back from a eichel trade and are better for it.

That was supposed to ruin this team

"No way we win an eichel trade"
So far, we won

They've spent money like it was burning a hole in their pockets. Every year.

Stop with the "owners don't want to win" crap.

Their problem was that they thought being the richest owners in the league at the time meant buying up every free agent and winning would be easy. They were naive.

Adding players isn't the issue. It's adding the right players at the right time. Andrew Copp may be a fine player for what he is, which is a perennial 25-30 point player who just happened to have a career year on a stacked team in his contract year (gee, where have I heard that before?), and he's now worth almost $6 million a year?

I'm shocked about Copp, he was right in there in there price range and they wanted him before the trade deadline.
- SABRES 89

when they traded for bishop's rights, I was called crazy for expecting them to only get to the floor

they said wait til july 13th


YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING


now it's july 15th and we clearly are a cap floor team thanks to bishop, and those now decide to spend their efforts bashing those that wanted a meaningful addition or 2 with that 30 mil cap space
