"PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills co-owner Kim Pegula showed significant signs in her recovery from a debilitating cardiac arrest by being escorted to the field by her husband to help break the post-practice team huddle on Friday."

they have spent millions of dollars to turn her from a bed vegetable to a walking vegetable. You hope the best but I don’t see a person in there.

I can only imagine going through this with someone but at what point are you keeping them here for yourself?

Addition by subtraction.

Skinner played half a game and when he was not scoring he hurt the other half of the game. To keep him around just to keep him around was pointless.

Again, we were not winning with him here. Try something different instead of wash, rinse, repeat.

Make trades - oh, not that trade.
Make changes - oh, not that change.

Creating a problem when one does not exist.

You sure? I imagine she’s hooked up constantly at home. Her head was rolling around like a person with sever brain damage, I can’t even believe they walked her out there like that and filmed it.

We are so desensitized as a culture.

This is exactly what they did with the BO.
He is sooooo horrible that he was a -2 last season in what was a drop off from +15 the year before.

-2!
The actual results are different than the eye test.
Will be fun watch him and Savoie skating with the SC next season.

Well maybe, but also need to replace what you lost if you do it. Big ? Marks if the Sabres are going to be able to do that.

Edmonton is the favorite for next year even without those two. Nice filler but not the reason they will win.

Also, isn't Savoie projected to be AHL bound next year?

I'm ready for Adams to make a Block Buster trade to bring in proper leadership. I'd be fine using Tage as a major piece to do so....add to it as necessary for the right guy.

Skinner, in a down year, would have been 4th in GF on Edmonton....playing with scrubs here. With better QoTm, I suspect he will bounce back nicely.
1 more G in their last game could have yielded the Cup.
We can agree to disagree.

Savoie absolutely should get significant time in the AHL, then perhaps get the call up around the TDL.

Skinner, Kane, Savoie all skating with the Cup..who can't see that.
Meanwhile, we'll be finalizing our draft research.

Well if the Team fails again, there probably needs to be a huge shake-up

Cap should be No issue for the Sabres. Adams has locked all these long term contracts with nothing to prove they were worth it. Any good GM would have No problem with the Sabres Cap

Byram, Peterka, Quinn, and Levi need contracts next year.

Try doing the math on those contracts on top of the current core

It doesn’t add up.

Cause he has tied his hands in some ways on giving out contracts know. Way he's going they will have 1/2 a Team on long-term contracts that have never sniffed anything.

Gotta buy in to what Lindy is selling, and can't afford a bunch of injuries.

assuming levi is the backup so that should not be too bad

quinn will probably miss another 45 games this season to drive his price down

peterka will be in the dog house and get max treatment from 2008 and byram will be demoted to third pair by mid november


they have a plan
