Tyler Ennis is a great player. Once this team can get a solid first line and he's actually on the second line his production should go up.

I don't know if I put McDavid over Crosby. Crosby has Mvp award, Stanley Cup and Gold medal in Olympics. McDavid isn't even in the league yet.

Thank God!

I wouldn't worry about the goaltending situation because this team has always found solid goaltending through out their history. I do worry about not finishing last and end up picking third. If we do I think their will be tons of pissed off fans for this total tank job and not getting one of the big two. To me it will make Buffalo a laughing stock to all hockey fans that they tanked and couldn't end up with either of the prizes. Now that being said if we do land one of the big two then next year will be much more entertaining to watch and we know they will go thru growing pains but it will be worth it. This team hasn't had a bonafide superstar up front since the LaFontaine days. You have to figure that Pysyk and McCabe will be full time next year and the defense will be led by Bogo.

I still think if I had kept one player from that old core it would have been Pommers! He shows up to play unlike Vanek even though Vanek had more skill.

Time will tell on the Kane deal. It looks like it's paying off for Winnipeg right now plus you have Armia, Lemieux, plus the first. But on the flip side of that we have Kane who could be pretty dynamic himself on a new team and Zach is a beast compared to Myers. I thought at first he overpaid on the Fasching deal for McNabb but I look at the deal and say we won now. Both look like we could have solid players for years to come in Buffalo. What I have learn about Murray is he doesn't mind overpaying to get the players he really wants.

So it's safe to say Neuvirth is a fan of the tank!

I can agree with you on that. If this team wasn't close to finishing what the team had started which was landing one of the big two in the draft he would probably still be here.

This is spot on. People that are wondering about Stewart's game. This is just my opinion. You are in a great position to get paid if you perform at your highest level as an UFA. He didn't. $hit he was benched on the worst team for not playing hard. The guy is 6'3" 230. He should be using his size and strength to the fullest advantage and he doesn't. He had one good year and he's been on the down swing since. You think St. Louis would have unloaded him if he was still a consistent 20 goal scorer. Highly Unlikely. Do I think GM Murray could have gotten more for him tough to say. I still think when you go out and say that the UFA's will be moved for whatever sends a message to other GM's that we shouldn't overpay because he wants to unload them anyways. I just hope nothing comes out saying Tanking between Us and the Coyotes. Just sayin it could happen and the league could crack down on it.

I could care less about Mitchell or Flynn. Those are filler guys.

Like I said awhile back. Everyone knew Murray was going to unload the key UFA's and made it known. If your another GM why would you overpay? Plus our UFA's weren't great to begin with.

I agree with you on that but Darcy signed him. Another Darcy Blunder that another GM has to live with.

Really Hodgson! I don't know if I give up on him just yet. Wait till he has some talent around him before you come up with that conclusion. Yes he's not great defensively and isn't physical but you don't get rid of him now when he has no value.

People that don't know about Vermette he plays a 200 foot game, good at face-offs and is an all around much better player than Stewart.

If it wasn't for the prizes in the top 2 of this draft I think neither would have been moved.

Yes Murray didn't get great return on these players he moved today but what did you possibly think he was gonna get? These players are garbage. Stewart had one great year, we know he has size but doesn't use it to his full advantage, plus he was in the coaches doghouse on a last place team. Mitchell and Flynn who cares. Nievirth got a decent return but not to thrilled about him anyways. This team always tends to find goaltenders. The question I have about Murray is overpaying or not getting enough during trades. Yes Darcy was good at getting max value but was too afraid to make a bold move. I'm okay with giving him Murray time and see what kind of players he wants to bring in.

Now that's funny!

I thought are UFA's wouldn't fetch much. Let's face it besides Stewart and Nievirth who are mediocre at best what did u think you would get.

This is very true

I could see it happening it's the life of the Buffalo Sports Fan! Not saying it will but hey you never know.

It is kinda funny

This just in NHL investigating Buffalo and Arizona about losing on purpose. Both teams surrender picks 1 and 2!

I always thought that Buffalo need to keep one of their two goalie's. But I have faith they will find goaltending. That is the least of this teams worries. Plenty of goalie's out their and we have plenty already in the system that just aren't ready yet.

The Sabres have always found goaltenders thru-out their history. That will continue plus we have others coming plus you have the two in sweden. Then the talk about the possible BU goalie.

A total rebuild wasn't going to happen overnight but face it folks this draft was key. Last year was the start as we got the guy we wanted and now we need one of the big two. Reinhart and one of the big two should be ready to step in next year. Finishing with the 3-5 pick will probably continue another unwatchable hockey next year. But at least they would be more fun to watch with Reinhart or McEichel on the team.
