    I have to say I agree with your point but not your choice of words. Risto and Nikita could be their Keith and Seabrook and should be going nowhere

    If TM had only one plan then we, as Sabres' fans would all be in a world of hurt. No good executive creates a business plan without preparing for every possibilty. Building a sports team is a fluid situation as you never know exactly how things are going to unfold. Will player X develop early, late, not at all? What impact will player Y have on overall plan? As others have stated, its way too early to know how this season will play out but I am confident that TM has a plan for every scenario.

    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.

    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.

    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
  16. tom webster
    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
  21. tom webster
    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
  22. tom webster
    How about this one since six was the number of choice. Six Sabre head coaches actually played for the team. Can you name them?
  23. tom webster
    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.
  24. tom webster
    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.
  25. tom webster
    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.
