Dahlin is taking a leave of absence to return to Sweden
PASabreFan replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
It's amazing how "journalists" and fans fall into line. He practiced with the Swedish team. Period. If there's a quote from Rasmus explaining why he's there, can we see it? Give me the facts. -

Make the change permanent? So you want him to try to break the contract? You think we would be better without him? -
Some people have been calling for McD to be canned ever since the "13 seconds" game. Others have been calling for Beane for quite a long time too. From what we know Beane tried to upgrade this team and it didn't work out, probably because the players targeted were playing for division rivals. Probably because he has no cap room either. Under Ralph C Wilson I have seen winning Bills organizations break up in almost every decade since their existence. There is not one time that I can recall when blowing up a winning Bills organization has immediately produced a better one. It always went the other way. A winning GM/Coach leaves and the team degrades and becomes a losing team, often for prolonged periods of time. I have ZERO confidence that Pegula can fire Beane and replace him with someone that can do better.

I don’t have any answers, merely commenting on what many are saying. I can say this much, there wasn’t a lot of love out there for Beane and McDermott before the season started given the past 4 or so seasons of failures, a couple of them in spectacular fashion (13 seconds, Diggs playoff game winning dropped pass), and the trade that sent Worthy to KC and Coleman here. Allen needs help, not just on the field, but the play calling. That should be obvious to all by now. Allen, Cook, we have the tools for a balanced 1 - 2 punch offense, but lack in wr speed and, as it stands now, the inability of the OC to use the talent he has in a game plan. Just my view is all.

Since Liger corrected me on my assumption KA’s contract was going to expire this year we should be looking for the best qualified GM (should have already been doing this) and pull the trigger when one is found. Never thought this roster was playoff capable and only the goalie performance has surpassed my expectation. Obviously would love to be proven wrong. I haven’t heard any pundits thinking this was / is a playoff team.

I’ve slowly been coming to Dahlin’s defense throughout the years. Maybe he’s great and it’s just nit picky stuff that mouse potatoes like me like to needle. I just want a number one defenseman that we can count on in all situations. Not one who I’m terrified of on the ice in OT because he decides to do some low probably stuff in his own defensive zone consistently.

The shelf life of a mobile QB has never been the same as the true pocket QBs.

Uncle Terry is packing up Rasmus’s things now to speed along getting the $11 mill off the books ASAP. -

Im sure he’s just staying in shape. Nothing to see here. 👀 If I was him, I’d make the change permanent but I doubt we’ll be so lucky. -
I get your point... and I will address below. However, UPL is not Marleau and would never command a 1st round pick. Naturally I cannot name the teams who would add that contract. But let's look at the threads about the players the Sabres have traded away who have become successful. We all talk about it on here and yet when we talk about trading someone like UPL people flip to the opposite argument. He's useless, why would anyone want him? Well, the answers lie in looking at other former Sabres having success and GMs believing (and players saying it, etc.) that the Buffalo Sabres organization is trash even at the levels we, as fans, don't see. It's easy to believe there's a chance that some GM who needs a goalie is willing to take the chance because: 1. Goalies are quite unpredictable. A lot depends on what is in front of them, the goalie coaching, etc. 2. Buffalo is seen as a place that destroys players. I would also be fine sending him to Rochester. Then again, any team who acquired him could do that as long as they are good paying him for AHL time. There is always the "refusal to report" option as well.

Yes. I’ve been hearing it. who do you bring in? You fire Beane and you hire who? And this is Terry Pegula doing the hiring. Let’s remember that. Since 1960 the Bills have had maybe 3 or 4 good GMs.

I'm sure it was posted somewhere along the way, but I can't remember which thread it would be. So here it is as a reminder: the impact of the Pegula era on the Sabres win percentage. And yes, this is true .500, not NHL .500, because OTLs are still Ls. source: https://www.reddit.com/r/sabres/comments/1mmj615/oc_50_years_of_sabres_performance_tracked_via/

They have 14 out of 30 points, 0.466 %. It’s disheartening to hear that they have to play .612 hockey the rest of the way to get to 96 points. That means winning 3 of 5 the rest of the way. It will be a challenge for this team as it looks right now. They need a big winning streak to improve their odds. I want the playoffs now AND I want Adams fired. I don’t think you build a winning culture by deferring winning to the future Adam's does, and he needs to go. Clean house Terry. Drill that *****in well.
