Well he made me feel a little bit better about this trade.

I know its completely and utterly irrational, but I have this nagging hope that Marner will take his love of the Bills and Josh Allen to the next level and sign with the Sabres. I'll see myself out.

Technically no, but wasn’t the Coyotes basically expansion level at the end? lol

This has merit for UFA’s (for instance, no way in the world Marner or Ehlers signs here) but generally does not with trades, unless the player has a NMC, which most do not.

Oddly enough with Doan, his father, set us on the path of a rebuild by re-signing with Phoenix back in 2010/2011

Ok, ok, smart guy, I'm call a bench minor.

The 2 firsts and 2 roster players; most likely cap dumps like the spare parts we got in the ROR trade.

Hmm... I'll lean yes.

Talk about apples to oranges Harrington. Fans have wanted to dump prospects for real NHL players for years. Fans also wanted to move especially from some of the Smaller forward draftees. What fans didn’t like was getting a 3rd line forward for a top 10 draft pick. This is completely different trade. We gave away the better player, an emerging elite forward for decent RHD and a young forward who doesn’t score goals and may only ever be a 4th line forward. We didn’t get good value for a 23 year 1st line forward. Also for all Adams moves last year, the team regressed even if McLeod and Zucker played well. So could this work out? Sure it could, but the team trading away the better player rarely “wins” the deal.

That’s how I’m taking this trade as a wait and see approach. I think Kulich has an elite level shot as well and will earn more playing time now that Peterka is gone! Let’s all get one thing straight, if Peterka didn’t want to be here then getting rid of him is something that has to happen but the return on the trade is where fans get pissed. Buffalo isn’t a major destination where players want to go and if you don’t know this by now you need help!

Can't believe he and Levi were teammates.

Just do what you should have done 2 years ago: make the kids earn their ice time and surround them with people who live to that standard on and off the ice. Thought struck me while watching the Kesselring/Doan videos: those are two kids who have fought through some adversity to get to where they are, something that too few of Kevyn's kids went through.

Albert Kesselring was the General that led the very successful German defence of Italy during 1944 or so.

I think there is a curve with most Sabres transactions. Big time negative reactions out of the box, then once folks analyze what happened, it calms down. But I do recall a lot of "WTF are the Sabres doing" right off on social media over trading Savoie.

Seems like a cool guy. His description of Doan is interesting.

Funny how different people take things differently. I didn’t get the sense that Harrington was telling anyone to shut up. Instead I took it as let’s wait a bit and we might be just be surprised again.

I think they are waiting for February 30.

When a guy named Kesselring wants to be part of "the solution"

Yep that’s what we’ll find out. Not sure JJ will continue at a 14% shooting rate either or put up the points he did last year with a C not as good as tage??

Not sure how you can watch the cup finals and want to add Rossi. Team needs beef

IF this guy is ####ing Smehlik-Clears-it-Not-Out fire him into the sun right ####ing now. (Pretty sure he ain't. But if he is, ftg.)

Not sure he is a 2nd line D man and not sure on Doan as a 3rd line player. I hope it turns out differently and both play important minutes to push the team into the playoffs.
