There is?

This was a waste of a third, no matter how bad a third projects to be.

Yeah. At least Botterill had a good reason to take a chance on Sheary.

Not quite a clone, but effectively as ineffective defensively.

Defensive nightmare. He's like Sheary's doppelganger.

Third line.

Any relation to this guy?

With our current D roster...you do this trade all day. There's no way this is real.

What happened to Johansson during the 2017-2018 season?

From this: 52) Patrik Berglund Former NHL player Patrik Berglund, who walked out on the Buffalo Sabres in the middle of last season, is exploring a return the NHL. According to Fox Sports Midwest’s Andy Strickland, there are several interested teams.

I think any rumour involving ERod and McCabe will be inaccurate at best, and more than likely fabrications from uninformed Twitternauts.

A masterful look at last season and the Sabres' present situation. Very nice. I like the ERod love toward the end of the first video. All season ERod not only passed the stat test, but the eye test, and now that what I was seeing was compartmentalized, it's even more obvious his offer better have been a good one. I think this also put a stake in the heart of Phil's already dead coaching tenure and confirms some of the criticism he received by some about being too simplistic. It also confirms what we already knew stat and eye-test-wise, and that is our middle 6 is woefully lacking talent, or capability in lieu of talent. It's too bad RK will likely never see this, because he really, really needs to. It's also too bad that it's clear the Sabres organization seems to have missed all of this. The strategic habits ought to have been discerned by December and Phil ought to have tried to address it. If it weren't for the fact that the team's on-ice performance is his direct responsibility, I could excuse Botterill for not doing something with the roster mid-season because without changes to the coaching, what good would it have done? Of course, this off-season is where Botterill will have his chance to fix this mess. I agree, firing Phil, adding another decent D man, and signing Skinner are a start. The middle six needs some serious attention. RK, what a gamble, I hope he's smarter than dudes hanging out on a message board.

He did get lifted off the ice on a hit. It's not like the injury came from eating popcorn.

As my grandmother would say..."God love him..."

Oof. That thumb looks...not good.

You don't have children?

Don't damage the merchandise!

DiPietro is an invite? Sign that boy.

Kind of like what I'm seeing from Ruotsalainen, too.

Same 'old Tage.

Oh man, it's just dev camp, but I'm glad to be watching a little of this.

Attendance looks light. Perhaps they should make tickets available to the general public.
