I always find it interesting when two reasonably fair and intelligent people can hear the same thing but not hear the same thing. I'm not saying you are wrong and I am right but I felt as though TPegs was telling TM to be patient and that things don't happen overnight.

GDT: Flames @ Sabres, 12/11/2014, 7:00 pm, MSG
tom webster replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I am starting to feel the same. About him and Ennis actually. -
While the NBA recognizes the Clippers as the successor to the Braves through San Diego, it was actually a complicated business transaction where John Y Brown and the Celtics owner actually swapped franchises allowing john y brown to own the Celtics and their owner(Levin??) to get the San Diego franchise
-
What about Antoine Walker? He spent most of his pro career with the team formerly known as the Buffalo Braves( Celtics) and appears to have lost all $110 million of his career earnings. Surely we can help this guy out.
-
I'm pretty sure the stat is when the other team scores 21 or less against his team, not average 21 overall
-
Me as well.

First, I agree with the argument that they don't necessarily have to end up in the top 2 to complete the full rebuild, but ..,, Second, I still see too much "giddiness" over the talent level of some of the prospects. I am very optimistic for the future but it will go down as the greatest four years of drafting in any sport if half the guys careers march the level projected for them by some on this board .

Again, a voice of reason

I would agree, excellent question. I may use it myself once I can confirm the exact numbers.

Game Discussion Thread Rangers at Sabres 11-21-2014 postponed
tom webster replied to spndnchz's topic in The Aud Club
No, just making decision before Rangers getting on plane. -
Beat me to it. And how about Peter Chiarelli winning it 5 years after being hired. I'd take that from TM
-
In fact, Ray Shero was hired in 2006 and won Cup two years later. Of course , most of tanking happened before he was hired. Likewise, Stan Bowman was promoted just one year before winning it all.
-
He is only talking about players drafted or signed as undrafted free agents not players acquired via trades
-
I wouldn't disagree with this
-
The Sabres were at or near the top when the past core were all prospects and Miller, Biron and Norenon where in the system. They were at middle of the pack or below once that group made the NHL
-
Just putting their record in perspective. The reality is if you eliminate the top two or four teams and the bottom three or four , the difference between the rest of the league has a lot to do with schedule and timing of critical injuries.
-
Their division is fearing on NFC South and Browns three non division wins Saints Tampa Oakland
-
I only know because I saw it tweeted earlier
-
I would guess that the first and last you listed would be the only ones that would stump most with the last definitely the toughest
-
How about this one since six was the number of choice. Six Sabre head coaches actually played for the team. Can you name them?
-
That is because you didn't see some of those guys play. I got 4 immediately, remembered Berard and actually Erik Johnson took me the longest. I'm just too technologically challenged to know how to post them without ruining it for everyone. I do admit that I read your post about Lawton before thinking about the answer but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered him as well.
-
I couldn't have said it better but then I am as big of anti TN as anyone here. I will be very surprised if he is behind the bench next year.
-
I know you do and I'm sure you can provide some statistical analysis to show the microscopic differences between the first and twentieth receiver in the league to back up your point but then we would just get into as discussion about statistical relevance in a league with microscopic differences and I'm not up to it right now.
-
I, too, am surprised this hasn't got much play. However, I don't think it indicates a desire to return to Ottawa down the road but rather him thinking he let his Uncle down by not being there for him. At first I was surprised he said it even if I understand his feelings but thinking about it some more, that's the kind of guy he is, just saying what he feels without any self editing.
-
While I don't agree with your premise either, my biggest complaint is with your analogy which I think portrays a lot of what is wrong with the anti trade sentiment. Blowing your money on strippers is an impulse buy with no residual gain. Watkins is here for a long time to come(pun intended) so a better analogy would have been blowing your money on a 50" monitor when the rent money is due.
