I agree. But then again they don’t need another high priced player making some serious cash with little results. Just look at ROR, Matty Mo, Bogo who can’t stay healthy. It’s like they need to blow it up again and start over. It’s gonna be years before this team is actually decent. I think Buffalo should look at their scouting staff and actually get scouts who can find players past the first round.

Once Jason trades some of these players they will start producing on their new teams. City of Buffalo must be cursed.

I don’t even watch them anymore because it’s like throwing 2 and a half hours away of your life watching a god aweful effort. All my years watching this team I thought it was bad when they started the tank but after the picks and some free agents what’s going on this year is totally unacceptable. I just can’t believe he handed Jack an 80 million dollar contract. He’s not worth that kind of money. Jason Botterill has got a total mess to fix

It’s obvious their scouting department isn’t good either. Any of us could have made these picks in the first round the last few years. I don’t see much in the pipeline besides maybe 3 players. This team is an absolute mess. I didn’t think it would get worse from last year but this team is just as bad as when the tank started. Crazy because they have some players that can play. They just look so unmotivated when you watch them. Kinda wondering if these players don’t like Housley’s system or they just aren’t good enough for it.

Ive been a fan since I lived there. We moved in the late 80’s and I was still a diehard fan but now that we have a team here in Vegas my love for the Sabres is fading plus how many more years do we have to go thru seasons like this before they finally get it right. They have become a joke. I think the scouting department needs some serious help. You have to hit on players in other rounds in order to be successful and maybe they have recently but we won’t know for a least a couple of more seasons. But to me this is unexceptable. I don’t mind losing if the effort is there but you can’t tell me these guys skated their off. Plus every loss is the same excuse from this team. And then at the end of the season the first overall pick still won’t be won by Buffalo.

I don’t get that either with the lines. It looks like Housley is in over his head. Plus Okposo looks like whatever affect him last year he is definitely not the same player.

Another team that is going nowhere. Jets had the game plan to beat them and did. Saints did the same thing and destroyed them at home. These other teams will use that same plan for Buffalo. At least management and coach wise seemed to have it figured out. I don’t really watch much of the National Felons League anymore anyways.

This team is a joke and for anybody that wants Kane traded he’s the only guy playing hard.

That is exactly what I have seen from him. Yes we know he only finishes some of the time but at least he works his @ss off compared to a lot of the players on this squad. The problem with giving 2 players big money is if your a player making less and playing better then you feel you deserve that same type of money. Lets face it Jack isn't worth 10 million right now or even going forward. As much as I like O'Reilly he isn't even worth the money they are paying him. This team is a disaster right now. Top 3 pick here we come unless they finally figure it out way too late like always.

Me too. Starts from the top. But I look at 2 major spots for both squads. The GM, and the scouting department. If you have good scouts you can find the talent and then if you have a good GM who can make the moves to acquire these players. Yes I know I left off the coaching department which plays an important role of this as well.

Totally agree with this

Maybe he seen the writing on the wall with this squad. It's a mess. Plus Buffalo isn't too high on a lot of people wanting to play there.

Does anybody think they are going to beat Carolina? I don't, this team is worse than last year. And you would think they would be better. Like I have been saying for sometime now, when somebody wakes Jack up and tells him the season started and it's time to start earning that paycheck then and only then this team might go somewhere. But Jack just seems like he's going thru the motions. I would hate to be GM JB right now. He's inherited a mess when it shouldn't be.

I agree.

Pegulas have a mess in 2 different leagues. The National Felons League has become boring and stupid to watch and the Sabres are never gonna figure it out.

Who gives two shits about D Lo and Nolan. Both are 4th liners who really do nothing for either team. This team is a mess and is worse than last year and I thought they would be better. Jack is laughing all the way to the bank. He’s a big problem in this.

Jack has been a major disappointment in my books. It’s like he’s going thru the motions. This team has dug themselves a huge hole and won’t be able to climb out. Another wasted year.

Face it this team is garbage. Worst thing is we will still lose the lottery. I agree.

They are absolutely boring to watch. I thought they would be better but they are just as bad as the Coyotes. Jack got paid and it’s like he hasn’t shown up yet to play. What a joke this team has become. All those picks wasted and they are still bad.

He’s needs to play like he actually cares. A lot of coasting. And it’s called being lazy. For a guy that got what he wanted he sure seems like he isn’t worth that contract.

So most likely another loss. Someone needs to wake Jack up and tell him the season has started and that did he forget he just signed a huge extension. He needs to stop pouting and start earning that paycheck.

I don't think they should trade Kane either. He's the one guy that show's up nightly. Yes he doesn't have the finish as other high end guy but at least he works hard when he's out there. I understand about the contract but trading him for picks will be taking this team back further. I mean they are already close to the bottom but don't get why so many people want him gone.

Pathetic. Eichel doesn't even seem like he wants to shoot the puck as much. I think this team doesn't like the system that Housley wants to play. Botteril has a mess on his hands. Plus as much as everyone wants Kane gone I just don't get it. All the games I watch him he plays hard. Yes he isn't that pure finisher but trading him and waiting more years for a player to develop if they even get that right player is even more concerning at this point.

Believe me Randall I'm upset as much as you with Buffalo. They should be better. Their Defense which I thought would be better doesn't look good at all. Eichel seems uninspired and the Reinhart experiment on the 3rd line isn't working. Put him back with Jack. The Powerplay which looked dangerous last year has seem to falter. This team is a mess. Plus it looks like many draft picks squandered on garbage. Very Sad state this team is in.

Randall they are better than Buffalo and are playing a simple game but they have players who can skate and they work hard. It’s okay if you think they aren’t good but at least they work hard for one another which is more than I can say about Buffalo. And Bellamare if you were to watch him closely like we do in Vegas is actually a pretty darn good 2 way forward. Yes he’s not gonna wow you with offense but his defensive game is solid. You have to know that a lot of these players have gotten expanded roles and are making the most out of it. Karlsson hasn’t been in the league that long and is a solid two way player. Plus a career AHLer in Brad Hunt has been playing solid defense. I will tell you this much we have a better defense and better goalies then Buffalo.
