Craig Button did an updated list of prospects currently under NHL control but not playing in the NHL. Domi was first. Reinhart was the only Sabre on the entire top 30 list at 2.
To be fair, Buffalo has three guys that should be on the list but are already playing in NHL and only 5 teams have more then 1. Winnipeg and Philly with three and all three of Philly's are defenseman. It will be interesting to see if they can be patient with them.

No argument here with regards to McAdoo's talent. I just don't think he's in the discussion since the Braves were only here for such a short time.
But what a time in Buffalo sports history.

OJ and
McAdoo

One of the main reasons I'm not worried about the defense: Mario Williams. I believe he could play 4-3 DE or DT or 3-4 DE, OLB AND take a few snaps as a bull-rushing NT in the 3-4.
In the 3-4 we will likely need to add another DE. Marcell at one, Kyle in the middle and xxx at the other DE. Williams and Hughes rushing with Brown and Kiko in the middle. I'm sure Rex has a relationship with somebody that he could bring in to play the other DE spot.
Oh no. This defense could be historically bad.
Sorry, couldn't resist

I have many great memories about Hasek's play, was told many off the record stories about his off ice antics and never blamed him for leaving.
The best memory however, was very personal. I was fortunate enough to take my son into the locker room after a Sabre victory. Hasek could not have been better. He talked to my son for almost ten minutes, signed his jersey and posed for pictures. it was one birthday my son will never forget.

Sure, but what is a QB coach worth if he's getting the bare minimum out of his position?
I get that the players are what really matter but if it's so black and white why even hire position coaches? It's too easy to just say "they suck."
I'm not not saying that coaching doesn't matter but I am against saying that he's no good and just listing who played for him. Maybe he does suck but I need more info.

He was here for one season and it was the year that the wheels started to fall off for Fitz here... He was the Jets QB coach the last two seasons. He was Chad Henne's QB coach in Miami and they drafted Tannehill in the first after he left. Not excited about that move either.
On Schwartz: I don't think he'll want to stick around. Rex wants to bring his defensive coordinator over from the Jets so why would Schwartz want to work in between them?
So Lee couldn't make Fitz, Henne or Smith to play like Andrew Luck, what s bum,
I think Schwartz stays, Ryan and the Pegulas can be pretty persuasive. Besides, his best chance of a head job is continuing the success he already has had here.

Tsyplakov...... but we got him from the Kings, so easy goof.
Exactly, thanks
-
RIP
... He may have been the worst player I've ever watched in person
In today's possession stat era I think he would have fared well. He was very good along the boards. I remember him as a more talented Matt Ellis.
I am getting old. Thinking of someone else. You are right, Ink.

TODD GURLEY!!!!!!!!!
The analytics people will explode if a year after trading an extra number 1 for a WR they use a premium pick on a RB. On top of that, this year is supposed to be to RB's what last yewar was to WR.

With Roman coming, add
Gore
Crabtree
Vernon Davis and Tank's favorite
Mike Iupati
as free agents or soon to be free agents in play and maybe Kapernick.
-
@viccarucci The #Bills have "every intention" of keeping DC Jim Schwartz, just told by high-ranking team source.
Huh?
He is also reporting that they want Roman as OC

Yesterday's game was a choice between two evils or devils for me. I despise the Ravens and hate the Patriots. We were dancing in our house when the Ravens threw that interception. I was convinced they were going to win. The Ravens were the scariest team in the playoffs IMO. Flacco is a big time playoff QB and he showed it yesterday again. I agree that was a crazy decision to go for it there. Too much time on the clock. But you know, that is what the Ravens do. They throw more deep passes than any team in the league. They usually get a catch, TD or PI out of them, Flacco's arm is really strong and most DBs can't believe he can throw it that far and accurately.
Now I'm all in on the winner of Manning/Luck.
That WR Option pass NE pulled off was legendary. Big stage, big time, big momentum. What a call at that time of the game. They suckered and I mean suckered the ENTIRE Ravens defense on that. Nice call by Josh McDaniels.
And Ryan it is. I, for one, am excited.
Trestmanan OC?
Thurman DC
Revis and Gilmore cornerbacks?
Sanchez QB?
-
John Harbaugh doing his best to prove that Super Bowl coaches are just as bad at clock management as guys who never see the postseason.
The genius trumped him.
Why? I thought that was pretty smart. If he calls it earlier, then they run a play and run the clock out.
I really hate Tom Brady. He's really good, but he's also a pampered, cheating, whiny bich. I can't wait until I don't have to see him play anymore.
He wasn't talking about that possession. He posted after the time out with 2:14 left

Roger Goodell rocking a Buffalo Bisons hat at the Pats-Ravens game.
Rex Ryan second interview tonite per Shefter
-
Luckily he can't. Rob is staying in New Orleans.
Story goes that Payton only kept Ryan because he didn't want to be seen as guy who can't hire a DC. He'd drive him to the airport if Rob wanted to join his brother
-
No way Ryan keeps Schwartz. It wouldn't make sense for either of them.
Which is one of the levels I was talking about. As long as Rex doesn't bring Rob......
-
Ryan has apparently aligned himself with Trestman. Wouldn't mind a Ryan, Trestman, Schwartz team although I doubt it happens on a couple levels. I would interview Trestman just to get his thoughts on Cutler.
-
Constant pointless snark from you aside, I read it wrong. But agree with what you're saying.
This time wasn't snark. You said you hated responding to rumor garbage and I was saying I hate responding to what you already hated responding to.
-
I hate responding to your response but that was supposedly what TM was asking, not what they were offering. I think Detroit would do Tatar but not the other two at this point. I would want nothing to do with Tatar. He's just Ennis on a good team. The other two would be no brainers but Detroit's only going there if they think Myers is a top pairing guy that would put them over the top and I don't think they are there yet. Who knows what happens around the deadline when teams start thinking they are closer then they are.
-
Shanahan and other offensive coaches were said to be upset with interference from top personnel guys. In fact, it was reported that he was sent a text message during games regarding play calling.
On a side note, Pettine is getting a reputation for leaking stuff to the press that serves his agenda.
-
I don't think Rex wants the job. I think he's using us as leverage for Atlanta and/or ESPN.
That is probably correct but there has to be a part of him that wants the chance to beat the Jets twice a year.

Deadmarsh is a natural as is Titanic.
Sorry, just realized that we were only picking goalies and dmen

Butch Deadmarsh
And of course Tom Webster although he technically never played for them

It is possible that you are overvaluing the ability of the NFL Player/Personnel Manager Development system to create strong managerial hiring practices. The NFL General Managers didn't go through GE's Manager Development School.
These guys don't get their jobs because they are awesome at interviewing and evaluating coaches. They get their jobs because they are good at finding and evaluating great on-field football talent. Because, like you said, on-field football talent is more likely to make a coach, than the other way around.
I agree with most of this except for the fact that the Pegulas are in the room. If it happened once, it would not happen again. Of that, I am certain.

I'm not disagreeing with you but its funny when they predict one and two years down the road when they can't even predict this year's crop. Guys like Big Ben and Phillip Rivers were mid round projections till their senior year on in Rivers' case, till the Senior Bowl.
