I don't think it hurt St. Louis one bit--they didn't know what Thompson was going to turn into--to make the ROR deal. Those deals do happen once in a while. I just don't think the Sabres can afford him.

Obviously, from my comments in the Dallas game thread, I am of the opinion that the Sabres have an impending salary cap problem. If the Sharks want to do a rental deal as if Meier was becoming a UFA, I'd consider it, but I don't think SJ is up for that. I don't think the Sabres can afford to pick him up.

And a goalie, too.

Although I think the D was the bigger problem on Sunday, this former grocery clerk does a nice job of breaking down what was wrong with the O. Starts about five minutes in:

I already said it once today...

Now that is interesting. What's SJ up to?

Maybe? He's got the right build.

And 35 years later they and their contemporaries all voted Leave. LOL.

Oh you have to be kidding with some of this. "If she's still alive"?! Her daughter, the Bills, the Sabres, none of them would have announced it if otherwise? It's just trashy.

***** Boston.

Ah ok

What has this to do with Tyson Jost?

I'm not young.

I will try to articulate better next time. EDIT: This is sincere and not being a dick.

You're not getting it, my man, and you know that I'm on your side. But things, even feelings, aren't static.

It isn't an argument. It's a way of looking at the state of affairs. Think about your life ten years ago. I don't mean vis-a-vis the Bills, I mean your life. Are you happier now? (Yes, you are.) Similarly, are we Bills fans happier now than we were before? If not, we're ungrateful shits who should be happier.

That trade was a Regier-level robbery.

I think everyone needs to remember 2016 and before and take a deep breath.

Nice marmot.

Some people develop later than others, even just as a matter of biology. Some,. emotionally. Some just need the right environment to succeed (I, myself, was this way.) I see him as a DEVELOPING Hecht. But if you want to look at every glass you see as half-empty, I won't get in your way.

DEVELOPING.

I think he's a developing Jochen Hecht and I'm fine with that.

Hey, if they can turn him into something useful, I'm all for it!

Ralph Krueger probably made them wear helmets to team meetings.

I don't want to distract too much from the point of this thread, but you are neglecting four other Vezina winners (three as Sabres), two Calder winners (one as a Sabre), Desjardins (who would have excelled if not for the eye injury) and just about the rest of Sabres history before the current misery. This team has ALWAYS been known for goaltending. Even Ullmark was a Sabre.
