If they are trying to piss off every fan base, ESPN is doing a bang up job. Welcome back to NHL coverage, go (frank) yourselves.

I mean, yeah I've said nearly the exact same thing the whole time. The track that he was on was a positive one though, and my only comparison to McCabe was that they both would have came into the league around their 6th year.

And idk about Borgen not showing much. He played very well for St. Cloud through his whole career, and has been pretty solid in the A the majority of his tenure. Didn't look out of place during the callups. But yes, moot point now.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

McCabe was selected in the 2012 draft.
His 1st year would have been the 2012-2013 season
Year 2; the 2013-2014 Season he played 7 games
Year 3; the 2014-2015 season he played 2 games
His 4th year, 2015-2016 he played 77 games, marking his debut on a full time basis.

Where is Year 6 coming from?

Still need another one… I’m not throwing UPL into this mess.
- Gr8daygo


Agreed
No need to rush UPL into a situation where we are just gonna stink anyways

I’m sure we’ll find someone
And even if it’s not someone good, I’m ok with that
I want a high pick next year (and in ‘23)

No one was taking either of those two scrubs. And ullmark and Borgen are being way over valued. Ullmark can’t stay healthy and probably wants 5.5 mil minimum. Borgen hurts a little bit let’s see what we get from risto (if we extend him I will punch a wounded kitten) before we get too up ina frenzy

The bills dealt with worse and people forget quickly once you start winning again. If that bothers you I suggest you grow some thick skin.

“How embarrassing”- it must be to be part of that organization. Hence the “ha ha” bookending that observation which suggests a distinct lack of being bothered.

The Bills and or Sabres could have losing records til I’m 6ft under and I could care less. Sports are a wonderful distraction. That’s it

Fowler-“so, Ron, how’d you settle on player X?”

Ron-“we thought about it, and picked him”.

Silence.

I'll take it.

- Powerslave

Yeah, we aren't getting him for risto, let alone him plus a second.

If Adams pulled that off, (frank) borgen, I get why they kept risto.

If you could care less then you shouldn't be embarrassed, seems contradictory.

Or are you suggesting the sabres organization should be embarrassed?

If thats the case how can you be sure they are not?

- Carubba-Kaleta


All I’m suggesting is that any reasonable and prudent person associated with the Sabres organization hopefully were embarrassed during that introduction.

As a former player, I know I would be.

Montreal is loaded with LD prospects, think they have like 5 in there top 10, they need a RD, probably won't be him but that's who I would be shooting for.

I cant believe this is the team they are picking, literally no trades, these are their honest to God picks.

Francis you are out of your element. At least you learnt your lesson from Scott Darling and didnt go after Dri....wait nm.

I'm sure they are embarrassed I hope so at least. But being embarrassed doesn't suddenly make them smart. Rather the opposite it probably makes them feel incompetent as an organization.

I would rather them be pissed off and make it known that's its unacceptable to be the laughing stock of this league from here on.

But I get what you're saying now.
