Getting Old, but have the Sabres made a trade on TDL day since Adams took over.

whelp... It's 11:45 with 3 hours to go. I don't expect anything to happen with any substance.

I guess I should not be mad. this has been the way it has always been for 20+ years.

This better be the last season for the Sabres to have to be lean. (frank)ers. Move the team.

I just don't get their angle for trying to sell tickets. They have a weak season ticket base as it is. I don't see how coming this far and then being indifferent when it counts is going to sell tickets? Like what's the slogan going to be?

Does Corkum have any children old enough that plays hockey so we can at least trade for him?

#SeaKraken are also keeping an eye on John Klingberg.

But Kraken are simultaneously entertaining offers on Carson Soucy and Will Borgen to potentially capitalize on some of the high prices on the market.

Imagine if Seattle flips Borgen for a 2nd and prospect or even a late 1st.

I'm told the Vancouver Canucks are seeking an "effective" NHL player in return for Connor Garland.

Don't seem to be all that interested in draft picks.

Strawman arguments? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Remember when everyone wanted to run half of our top players out of town? I remember. Good thing y'all aren't in charge. (or am I exaggerating? ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Go back-read. This place is miserable and you know it.

A decade and a half of losing will do that. I dont know for sure but isn't it like 15 years or more since the last playoff series win?

I will not let someone piss down my leg and tell me it's raining. I'm suppose to be happy that we're finally middle of the pack after all these years of being at the bottom.

If anyone here is ok with the current state of the team I will say that person is not a true fan. I'm not conditioned to be ok just because we aren't the worse team in the league anymore.

Just because they have a few bright spots on the team does not gurantee anything for the future.

A great, not good, great point. I am actively debating in my head whether I buy my seats next year or just buy individual games next season for $35 a pop and move down to sit in my seats.

Good to know this won't be happening today. This was a move to make weeks ago. If we're going to miss the playoffs (which we are) than we might as well get into a top 10 pick... Wilson will keep us around 15...

Add hinostroza and olofsson to that list. I'm 100 percent with you.

I'm not claiming I'm smarter than anyone in the buisness but to me doing nothing at all seems like a setback.

Modified NTC and only signed for one more year...

That doesn't make sense for a team on the outside looking in

Interesting story. So my kid played at intermission on Tuesday against Columbus. It was a big deal for us since I assumed he got robbed of that opportunity with the covid years, so we bought nice section 118 tickets in row 13. One for myself, my wife and his brother. $330. He got comped a 300 level ticket so I assumed he'd get to move down with us. I checked the ticketmast map just hours before puck drop and NO ONE had bought seats near us. Rows and rows of unsold seats. Halfway through the first period all these people kept coming in. They all had physical, printed tickets(which i thought didn't exist. Turn out they gave massive amounts of tickets out to the United Way people. Many of them and the rest were a few fill ins from cheaper seats. So my kid didn't get to join us. Total crock. I got to be out $330 bucks and all these other a$$es just coast in for free.

Moral of the story is the Sabres org are clowns

Flagged by accident haha.

I would love that addition though. Enough of getting pushed around. Krebs shouldn't be the guy stepping up to people.
