time to trade milleR?

Another one who could have that impact. It doesn't have to be a big name, just somebody that will bring it every shift and hold his teammates accountable.

Chris Drury---before we got him

Seams we might have them but some on the team are bringing it down. Head of the core maybe ?

A simple outsiders opinion to what would make the Sabres turn it around quickly, coupled with a coaching change. The team needs a leader, one that is a sparkplug that brings it every shift. The guy needs to have some talent but doesn't need to be some kind of star. You could probably use two of them and it would do a whole hell of a lot to wake up the rest of the team.

I'll just use a couple of names from our team that could step in and have this impact. Kesler and Hansen, they just never quit.

Agreed and the coaching change needs to come first.Lindys hit a wall with this team and its expected after 15 seasons.Not taking anything away from Lindy and whats he accomplished but the well is dry.

I am sorry to see that Buffalo is having these problems....they have always been a solid franchise in my opinion. All their fans are knowledgable, passionate, and fair at least from what I have seen. Since I am not a Buffalo fan what do you guys see as the issue? Have Ruff and Regier been there too long? Stupid contracts (Lieno not withstanding?) Have the players given up? I will continue to root for the Sabers in the East....sorry guys, I am waiting for these days to hit Detroit (and they will.)

well done

Thank You. I totally agree. I would trade you my life for Kesler?

Everything this guy has accomplished is because he works his ass off non-stop, including during the offseason.

I really think its Miller, they have no faith in him and everyone is waiting to be in a 2-0 hole. It sucks the life out of a team. I could be wrong but it sure seems that way.

woah woah woah.

This article is bogus!

Ville Leino FAILED to score on a great chance? Ville Leino? The Finnisher?

Nice try Lao Che

You can blame their borderline retarded owner who came in and wanted to make a splash and overpaid guys that arent worth it.

Leino and Ehrhoff are terrible contracts.

I could see a team like Columbus being a taker on him.

You can change whatever or cut fire and trade whatever you
We do not have a center on this team.
We cant match up.
How many good teams have worse centers than us.
Its been the same for 5 years.
We had 2 good centers we won.
Now we have zero we lose

We are not detroit .but their goalie coome pretty cheap. and there are a bunche better than the bologna we are paying for. Love how everyone notices the team plays diferrent in frony of Ewok vs miller . Maybe it just that Enroth is making the saves and being in position to make them.? I dont know really. But imo it seems it .

Identify the chief culprit and package them in the deal. You can't look for fair value, as you're basically trading baggage for fire.

You guys wanted Leino. I do agree Ehrhoff is making too much.

Blame the gm for evaluations of these players and others as well like Stafford over Macarther now in Toronto

To be honest with you I miss Mike Grier and his leadership.

No they wont Detroits the model we need to get to.
- buffalo 1

took Jimmy D 15 years to win the cup when he came from the islanders, it helps when u draft a hall of famer in 83 but seriously, buffalo would have to change A LOT and that would take A LOT of time.

MacArthur is just as much a joke as Stafford.

please note ewoks stats when miller went down and enroth was the go-to guy...

took a pretty good drop
