Everyone is a "good" defenseman.

Not sure many people want to go there because few want to let go of any forward on this hugely successful team. You included. "Reinhart is untouchable" Skinner needs a center" Larsson is Selke material" blah, blah, blah.

Sam, if the price is right and it helps the makeup of this team, no freaken doubt. Larsson, I never knew he would get so much love on this one site.

It's fact that he had a center for the last 25 games the year before and he sucked, it's fact that he played without topline centers in Carolina and sometimes produced and sometimes didn't/ It's fact that Brindamour wanted his butt out of Carolina, it is hoped that he will produce with a better center and be productive next year before faltering again.

Can't, you didn't say it. Had you, I would've made a nice print of it and hung it on the wall.

I inferred it from your passion in defending him and every trade proposal is not good enough. Just like your inference that Rivet outwardly said every D is good.

Sam will hopefully get us first rounder or a top prospect or a player that needs a change of Scenery..

Still think we could swing a deal for Nico or keller

Honestly this franchise is such a joke.

We will keep the same goalies who have sucked. The same "#1" D man who is bad, actually wants to be traded, won't do a damn thing about Okposo for the 3rd straight year, won't get a legit 2nd line center.

But hey, I'll enjoy that week our 8th overall pick plays in the WJC before he inevitably underwhelms us two years from now

skinner had one bad year in carolina--2014-15 when he scored 18 goals in 77 games...he had 30-goal seasons of 31, 33, 37; 20-goal seasons of 20, 28, 24 and had 13 goals in 42 games during the 2012-13 lockout shortened season which projects out to 25 goals...

just sayin

Boss, I hate the Raiders, Cowboys, Patriots.

I’ve gone as far as saying I think the Bills should win the AFC East and win a Wildcard game this year permitting we get that far.

I believe Allen’s ability as a runner does add a dimension to the Bills offence that defences have to game plan and respect however I still see the same mechanics leading to poor accuracy that I have seen from him repeatedly in the past.

As long as he doesn’t turn the ball over the Bills have enough talent to go up against the best of the best in the NFL but at this point I don’t think he’s ever going to be confused with the elite of the game as a passer.

Manage the game, don’t turn the ball over, don’t put the elite defence that the Bills have in unfavourable situations, Bills will have a successful season.

The Titans and 49ers were two of the remaining final 4 with Tannehill and Goroppolo at QB. I don’t see any reason why the Bills can’t be a contender as long as Allen doesn’t shoot them in the foot.

Good post flacco

Elite passer vs. Elite qb are a bit different in the current nfl.

Lamar is absolutely an elite qb
Lamar isnt quite an elite passing qb (yet)

Allen is young and had accuracy problems in college .

Big arm, big legs, big competitor and exciting.

Also a winner.

Denver ran the ball decent and played great d.
Still got the L.
Please explain how they lost

I like Keller, don't think I'd be super upset if that happened. I'd hope they would have to add as Samson is the better producer right now.

That being said though, the Sabres tend to ruin potential as well. We have a pretty long list of top prospects that went POOF once they played here. Are we really different from AZ in that?

I've went from really not liking Reinhart too much to not understanding why you don't just lock him up long term and let him continue to help Eichel in transition and defensively, while scoring 20-25 goals and 55-60 points.

He's good. Not a world beater, just really good.

Yeah on the keller train ...

AZ is just way worse the highest total is 45 points the last 2 years and highest was 67 in kellers first year ..

They just suck the life out of you

There is a lot of up and down there, not much consistency and he had a 40 goal here and a 14 goal here. A 14, 18, 20 and 13 goal season that may project to 25 or less depending on if he was in his on year or off year, just sayin.

Bad clock management on both the offence and defence.

They had two drives up 14-13 to take time off the clock and did nothing with it, we had to punt and only killed a minute after starting a drive at midfield with a few minutes remaining leading to their ensuing go ahead score.

Fangio should have used his timeouts earlier on the Titans last drive to give us more time at the end of the game to try and drive for our own game winning field goal.
