Put them up then, where you get your information for your Analytics sheet. Think lon slammed your door

This is nothing new. Nobody comes to Buffalo until they win. Not since the construction of the Welland Canal.

Which players go running to losing teams? That's the point - the residents of this town have an inferiority complex. Who cares if a player doesn't want to be here, or simply wants to pick his destination. No skin off my back.

Servalli says he wouldn't be surprised if Broberg gets a Offer Sheet, Edmonton has nothing if you go over 4mill to stop anyone

Mangiapane isn't bad
Chychrun isn't bad, just didn't work in Ottawa
Thompson isn't bad

You found 3 decent players. Just go back and re-read the hysteria on this board on July 1st as crappy players signed all over the place.

Anyway, we've beaten this to death again. I am all for calculated gambles, especially on younger players (be it ours or someone else's). By the age of 26, you're usually what you are going to be.

Man I hope the Sabres get Trouba. Nothing like they have and everything they need. Just what the doctor ordered

I could care less if they want to be here, but if there good I do want them to come here. Tell Adams it shouldn't matter if they want to be here as long as they hopefully make us better. It's Adams job to make Buffalo appealing enough for good players to want to come here. He hasn't done that. As a Resident of WNY I could give to sh!ts if the player wants to be here, just help us win games and that might change your feelings about being here.

You said Washington just keep using retreads, they just really keep trying to go for it while Ovi is there. Wasn't talking about us.

Ah, my bad. I hope Ovi gets the record and in some way that makes several years of losing worth it to Caps fans.

Well I am sure they will enjoy the last 10 years of playoffs and the Stanley Cup! Come on

Sure, and the Pens won a cup a few years ago. After that, both teams kept trying to keep the dream alive as their players got older. Old teams don't win cups. I get why Pittsburgh kept trying to trade assets to keep the dream alive (their mistakes were generally bad pro scouting), but keeping all of those guys in their late 30's was a giant mistake.

I haven't followed the caps close enough to know why their roster went south after winning the cup. I know some of their top 6 forwards fell apart.

C'mon, you know what I meant. I am talking about the sharp decline in their roster after that. By "years of losing", I was referring to the mediocrity that they are and will continue to be as he chases the record. Them making the playoffs last year was an absolute joke.

Who cares, and who knows if it will happen. They do have some good young players on there Team to

Nope.
Being arrogant is offensive.
Being Arrogant and Ignorant is just plain stupid.

You are so worried about the future, Sabres still haven't gotten to there present yet. Let's get to the playoffs first and Worry about 5 years down the road then.

Holy S, how did we get here? I was just making a comment on the fact that the Caps appear to be settling in to a few years of having not much to watch other than Ovi chasing the record. That's it. Not a comment on them winning the cup a few years ago, or the Sabres in any way.

Anyway, I am tiring of hearing my own voice. Goodnight gents.

How did we get where, we were talking hockey. Back and forth. You started in on Washington when homie brought up that Article. You seem to be integrating what Washington is doing and what the Sabres do to attract players. Hearing your own voice! Funny

- Buff36

The Sabres addressed the bottom 6 forwards. Which was a huge problem for them.

And they are 1 top 6 forward away from being a good team.


Yet nothing improved in the present?

Man I hope the Sabres get Trouba. Nothing like they have and everything they need. Just what the doctor ordered
- Hatboro_Swords

Buffalo already has a ton of bad players though?

You missed a mess.

I learned today that the panthers are. A slow hockey team

Lawson crouse is the best skater in the world

And Okposo was fast

And the oilers bottom 6 don’t look like road kill
