    This team is 3 years away from making an impact FA signing like that. He would have to be willing to waste the next few years of his career
  2. ddaryl
    That would be awesome. He's a great player and he liked it here even though we were tanking. He'll get overpaid but he is a great mentor.

    Yes and those offers did nothing to offset the penalties that could of came down the road. It is that simple.. WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND IT. Nobody was offering enough or what it would take to offset that potential penalty. Murray rahter have the cap space in the future guaranteed. I have no issues with that because we have a plenty of assets in our system and plenty of firepower to add more in the short term

    No Murray is just mopping up Reiger's messes.... nothing mis-managed by Murray.. just dealing with the what he was dealt. Obviously nobody wanted Ehrhoff with the contract Darcy gave him

    You take Ekblad and you only trade the pick if Edmonton or Calgary completely overpay. But if that was the case Florida would of made the trade already.

    this is my fantasy draft. Reinahrt (@#2) is the play-maker, and Draisaitl (@#3) is the immovable big man that sets up the screens works the offensive boards and knocks in those rebounds We have Plenty of ammunition but would a team like Edmonton, that is pretty much not ready to compete, want to give up their high draft pick. I think they would be smart to do what the Sabres are doing. Blow it up, tank, and rebuild. We have Ehrhoff Stewart Meyers Stafford and 2nd round picks to dangle. If a deal can be done ahead of the draft and we can land a pick in in the teens or higher we might have a chance to repackage that pick and move up some more.

    So... Can the Sabres pull of the miracle and pick up both Reinhart and Draisaitl? We have lots of assets to do something real big. But would it be worth it ?

    If St Louis in in the Conference finals we get the 1st. That should happen before June 1 OR if Miller signs a long term deal

    excellent !!! then we simply must lose to ensure us the highest percentage probability

    Don't forget in 2-4 years when we need to bring in some experienced talent to further our push for a Stanley Cup other teams will be tanking and we will have a pipeline of prospects to trade

    I would rather have a pick and a prospect because this team won't be going to the playoffs for another season or 2 and Moulson will be on the downside when we finally do. I want ot see this team stick with the plan they started. Tank and load up and then revisit UFA's and trades when the teams youth is coming up and making an impact It would be massively dissapointing to see this team just trying to make the playoffs instead of building a true championship worthy team

    the last thing this franchise needs is undersized forwards. We tried that route plenty of times. It don't work. Big and fast and young, with emphasis on BIG AND FAST is the way to win championships

    Key Arena is very small and would require the loss of seats to make it NHL rink size.. It would be by far the smallest venue in the NHL 15,177 for ice hockey games ""The sightlines, however, benefitted the SuperSonics at the expense of the junior Thunderbirds, with a scoreboard that was significantly off-center in a hockey configuration, hanging over one blue line instead of the center-ice faceoff circle."""

    Ya build through the draft, and in the NHL the only chance you have at offensive studs is to have the #1 pick.. Just ask Pittsburgh And no other NHL team is going to trade away there very top prospects. You're going to get lots of upside guys but you're not picking up a 100 points a year guy or a 50+ goals a season player, which is what this franchise desperately lacks That is why the tank is on. No way does this team compete for the playoffs next year without sacrificing the plan they are on now. Too much youth on the roster, and even with the vets we have now they still aren't capable of winning regulalry

    I agree.. the thought that this Sabres team will even be in the conversation regarding playoffs in 2014-2015 makes me chuckle.. This team will be ready for playoffs only when all there prospects mature to the point they are capable of winning on their own.. Then the UFA and trading other prospects for top players could put us over the top. BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING NEXT YEAR... We have another year of serious pain at minimum.... the only joy will be watching prospects develop with the occasional ellipse of what could be
  16. ddaryl
    the lineup will be a bunch of inexperience and B players designed to tank the rest of this season and the next. Hopefully by 2016 will be making a big splash with some top UFA's to compliment our up and coming young core. Until then there is no salvation, just tank and reload
  17. ddaryl
    Once the trade deadline comes most of the players that can keep us winning these meaningless games will most likely be gone and we will fulfill the tank
  18. ddaryl
    our drafts where weak with Reiger. Lots of undersized forwards and never any real scoring prowess. He made the occasional splash trade but overall his vision for a championship team never really produced, and the time when it did we had to get rid of some of the players that took us there, but those players were not drafted.. players like Breire and Drury that being said our recent pipeline has improved but it was too late for Reiger, and I don;t think any of us trusted him to be able to complete the transition properly

    Canada has pretty much dominated the play Team USA reminds me of the Sabres in this game.

    More of a "Holy **it he hung like horse" look

    By the time this team is ready to compete again Millers days in the league will be numebred. There are some solid goaltending prospects in the Sabres system.. but Enroth just isn't #1 material... Ya have to trade Miller and maintain the rebuild IMO. Way to late to turn back now. Your also not going to bring in any top FA's with this team... So until the youth they've brought in starts to show promise and the Sabres are a playoff team with the youth movement in place... going fishing for high profile players is a waste of time. Hopefully Miller can be traded for solid youth assets or picks or both to a team who is trying to win it all now and willing ot part with those assets for that chance.

    Pegula's only fault was sticking with Reiger. I would have to manufacture something to complain about in regrds to our new FO additions. Now hopefully the Sabres just don't do something really stupid like come in 2nd last place this year
  23. ddaryl
    Pegula is completley on board with this rebuild... so No Reiger is not being held accountable for this otherwise Pegula woulf of fired him bvefore the rebuild
  24. ddaryl
    I haver to laugh.. After last years fire sale I find it funny that any Sabres fan wouldn't be talking 2014 draft. Are there really a few of you who expected this extremely young team to win ? It was beyond obvious we were in full rebuild mode... I'm just hoping we don;'t do something real stupid like win to many games and not get the 1st pick overall The Vanek trade was a decent trade, 2 high draft picks and a temporary replacement player..........Miller is next.
