I wouldn't be terrified at that thought. No matter what team he gets draft by he probably be looked at as it's savior. I would rather get drafted by a city that knows and loves hockey. Not like Carolina or Arizona. The Sabres have players coming it's just going to take sometime. I like Myers but what he is missing that would put him at a different level is he needs to get nasty. I watched him close in his own end tonight and it's sad to watch because if he would just lay the lumber on opposing players or clear out the crease I think he would be feared. Too me it's like their toying with him because they know he won't do $hit. Sad very sad. He has the tools on offense but in the defensive zone is where he will never be Chara. Probably 3000 Sabres fans at the game in Anaheim. Off to Los Angeles tomorrow night for another loss. Yes this team is worse than lasts year squad. They can't score and don't shoot enough.

Just came back from the Ducks game. My takes on the game Hodgson works hard but doesn't have good players to play with. Myers needs to get a mean streak is actually really sad to watch because opposing players know he ain't gonna do ######. Stewart- doesn't do much for me and I can see why he was moved twice. Gionta- like someone else said the game has passed him by. Now I see why Montreal let him go. Gorges and Girgs- best two players on the ice I thought. Both block shots and they looked good. Risto- I like where is game is developing into. I really think they need to give Zadorov a game or two. I watched Reinhart every shift and he played okay. He just needs to get stronger. One to two seasons and he's going to be a really good player. I really think Girgs is really good. He works hard, knows where to be, blocks shots. He is captain material no doubt about it.

No thanks please. Schenn has never lived up to his expectations. We don't need another player like that in Buffalo. I'm not trading Myers unless some team grossly overpays.

Problem was Buffalo wanted to keep Drury and he didn't want to stay unless Briere stayed whom they didn't want or should I say didn't want to pay him what he wanted. Then throw in a handful of finishing in the teens to acquire centers or should I say Darcy didn't acquire any centers to fill the void left by them both leaving. We are back almost like an expansion team and it's going to take sometime. These scouts and Murray should be scouting in their sleep with this upcoming draft. To me this years draft is crucial. I agree with the injuries. I thought Connelly was playing out of his mind when he was blasted and that was pretty much it for his career. Let's face it that core couldn't get it done. Should he dismantle the entire core. Probably not but it's too late for that.

All in all we as fans know this sucks going thru and I have to admit if we don't land McDavid or Eichel in this draft their will be a lot of disappointed fans not happy about going thru this. Right now if the roster stays the same until the trade deadline their is absolutely no way they don't finish last. Yes Reinhart will be sent back but Kaleta should be back soon to fill his spot. Yeah I know u don't want to hear that. But give the kids time to develop in Rochester and theirs no need to recall any of them until the injuries start mounting. Let's finish what Darcy started complete the tank. This organization is too far into this to change course now. Plus I think Murray who was a scout and the rest of the scouting staff can't wait for this draft. This draft is one of the most crucial in order to turn this team around. What sucks for us fans is that these players are still gonna need time to develop. I still think this team will be bad in 2015-16 season as well because no matter who we pick unless we get McDavid will still need more time developing.

If that's the case we are in big big trouble but I don't think so. You see as part of the blue and gold series it seems like players/picks are talked about collectively at their meeting with his scouts and hockey department.

Colorado is in trouble but their be fine. As bad as Edmonton is I expect Nail to be traded soon for some defensive help. We are by far worse than last year. I know it's still early in the season but if Buffalo keeps their current roster all year their is no way they don't finish last. Enroth hasn't been bad, some of the defense has and let's face it right now the forwards aren't scoring much because they ain't taking many shots. Hard to win games when your getting outshot by 2-1 margains most nights.

Problem with Edmonton is on the backend. Their isn't much too talk about on their defense and goaltending remains suspect. Plus throw in Nail Yakupov who seems like a bust right now. I see them moving Nail for someone on defense and I think they make a trade real soon. Their a mess just like us but actually have a few talented players. Plus they aren't getting outshot by 2-1 margains either. Carolina will be fine when they get their key players back from injuries. Winnipeg competes hard as do Calgary. I can see us finishing last if they continue to keep this current lineup. They look worse than last years squad.

Complete smokescreen by Murray that's why he's a genius. I still think this is the main reason why LaFontaine left. I think he wanted to keep some players and the rest of the organization was already sold on the total rebuild.

It's too late these guys are hyped like any other really good players in the draft. Crosby,Tavares, McKinnon and others were hyped for years. Unfortunately last year u didn't really hear so much about one guy standing out besides Ekblad and it's not like he was a force just a solid defenseman. I still think more players especially the ones with expiring contracts are gonna get moved before the deadline for a roster player, prospects or more picks.

I agree it would do some of the other players a favor by getting out of Buffalo. I think if anyone gets moved it's going to be players with expiring contracts. Stewart, Stafford, Mezaros, Benoit. Possibly Hodgson. It's looking like the rebuild is going into 2015-16 season. Even if u get McDavid or Eichel their is no guarantee that Eichel comes out of college early and the rest of the players we draft are gonna need more time to develop. Plus now with the draft being hosted by Buffalo in 2016 I think their is no way Murray moves that first rounder.

Serious about what. He's all for finishing at the bottom. Yes this team is unwatchable and worse than last season but why change now. It's McDavid or Eichel getting closer in the picture.

Murray the Tank Commander is a genius! This team is scary bad. They can't get enough shots to score and they are worse than last year. I actually thought they would be better but it obvious they are much worse. I can't believe I spent money to watch them in Anaheim and in Los Angeles. I don't know if they will even score in either one of those games. So here's my question to u fans. Who is the first roster player to get traded? That's why Kim runs the show ! I thought they would be alittle bit better than last year but I was wrong this team is worse than last years squad.

That's true I just thought they could have unloaded some players earlier if this was the game plan. I just think Darcy realized this too late after the players he brought in didn't perform up to their expectations.

Problem with this whole tank started one year to late. Like others have said it would have been nice to have a guy like McKinnon or Droiun on this roster. We tanked on a weak draft class and still got the player we wanted. And it's obvious he needs at least another season or two to get stronger and to be more assertive in the play. Reinhart seemed really sound position wise but never really took control of the puck and made something happen. It will come but he needs to develop like the rests of our prospects which is going to take sometime. This 2015 draft is huge for us and a lot of it depends on who drafts #1 and #2. And after watching these first 5 games they look worse than last years squad. Plus what does Murray have in store with some of our current roster players or prospects. I just hope Murray didn't see the players he brought in as solid ones but more to help the tank. Because the only one that looks like is a keeper is Gorges and Moulson(even though he isn't looking so hot right now). Gionta looks washed up and Cody well is Cody not gonna expect much out of him as a 4th liner. Then u throw in Myers trade rumors which I hope he doesn't get moved for more prospects unless it's Mantha. Someone needs to overpay before I move Myers. Then someone said move the 2016 first rounder? Really when you are gonna be hosting the draft. Don't think that's gonna happen.

Nail Yak to me is a bust right now. Players are being thrown in without much development and they lack defense and goaltending. Like I said before u can have 20 1st rounders and if u don't give them time to develop your in trouble. Plus some picks are busts. Plus throw in last years weak draft and it's a big mess. This years draft is the most important. Let's face it we lack star players and picks 1 and 2 are going to be players you build around. I like Reinhart but it's so obvious since preseason that he needs more time to develop. It could be 1 season or 2.

I have tickets to see them in Anaheim and Los Angeles thinking they would be alittle bit better than last year but let's face it their worse. Murray is a genius this team should finish last and I have a feeling some current players are going to be moved by the deadline.

It's starting to look that way. The problem I see they can have 20 1st rounders and all are going to take time to develop. Plus who knows if some will be busts. Right now Grigs and Armia aren't exactly tearing up the AHL. Plus throw in a weak draft last year and that doesn't help. It's obvious that Reinhart needs more time to develop. 1 year possibly 2. And even this draft 2015 I don't expect anyone to step right in unless u land McDavid. Then throw in rumors about Myers being moved this could take awhile before we have a decent team.

I'm pulling for the tank but Murray might have to start unloading players for 2016 1st rounders giving fans something to cheer about because it surely ain't coming from this non goal scoring team.

God I thought we would be better this year but after these games they are worse. Carolina when all their key players are back from injury are a ton better than Buffalo. After these 5 games barring any teams trading key pieces I just don't see how Buffalo doesn't finish last again. This team is getting badly outshot in most of these games and they look aweful. I know Edmonton isn't much better but I think they move Yakupov for some help and I'm thinking it's going to happen soon. As much as I hate all the teams from Boston this Sabres team is pretty darn bad and I think they are worse than last year. Their was a reason why Montreal cut ties with Gionta. I know we picked him up for leadership and to get to the cap bottom but he seems washed up to me.

I would have signed Ott over Cody.

Keep the tank rolling if they get dominated in the third I think last place will be pretty safe for this team.

Buffalo will get badly outshot again and I don't even think it will be close!

He's the only reason why they are still in this game . This team is scary bad

Wow another game getting badly outshot. This team might be worse than last year.
