I wouldn't be surprised if we sign a couple. We have cap space and god knows we have could put a guy or two on the roster.

Connor McDavid - he's this good ....
SabresBillsFan replied to SarasotaSabre's topic in The Aud Club
He's the reason why the tank needs to go on for one more season and then it's all about rising to the top of the league! -
The Tank is Done (Now we're just bad)

I think it's going to be one more really bad year and then the excitement begins! -

SabresBillsFan replied to Johnny DangerFace's topic in The Aud Club
I don't understand why people care about the Bills anyways. There front office doesn't have a clue, way too many coaches and player changes. Face it when it comes to players it's a revolving door. Develop that player and as soon as his rookie contract is done he is gone. Bills will never be good until they and I mean management gets their $hit together and really build a team. I have a feeling Snow is going to defer the pick and let us pick this year. He will have a solid shot at McDavid with his $hit team. I hope I'm wrong but the other plan could be is he uses this years pick and go after whatever UFA they can get. I hardly doubt many players are gonna want to play there. -

And I have a strong feeling that is exactly why Patty wasn't on board with this. That's my guess. I can almost bank on that he wanted to keep some of these ufa's and the rest of the staff and Murray weren't on board. And that's where I believe the fallout occurred. Just my guess on what I think happened. -
Buffalo HAS to bring in 1 leader for next year (with talent)
SabresBillsFan replied to CallawaySabres's topic in The Aud Club
We just got to hope we are bad enough next year and we can win that lottery for McDavid. I know they have to get to the cap floor and I laughed at what someone said by giving Tallinder a 1 year $25 million contract. Now that's damn funny! -
I'm thinking the isles will try super hard in the off season to sign a few ufa just so Snow can keep his job. Yeah, I know your kidding but I have to admit the guy is just lucky to be collecting an nhl paycheck.

I think our goaltending will be fine. Murray also said they will be looking at college free agents. -

SabresBillsFan replied to CallawaySabres's topic in The Aud Club
I also think Nolan isn't going to accept his extension I hope that's not the case because he won't have hardly anything to work with next season as well. I said this last season when they started the first part of the rebuild that it was going to be 3-5 years before we see playoffs and I was leaning more towards 5. Does this suck? Of course it does a lot of fans don't want to wait that long. But this team was far and I mean far from competing for the cup with last years and this years current squad. -

What people don't realize is that the complete gutting of the team will buy more years of Murray running the ship to get idea of how he wants the Sabres to be built. Part of me thinks the total gutting of the team is why LaFontaine resigned. I think he still wanted some key vets around and I have a feeling Black, the scouting department and Murray wanted to rip it all down and start the total rebuild. I'm not worried about Buffalo's goaltending. When was the last time we had some serious goaltending issues. We always seem to find a quality goalie unlike teams like Philly -

I'm super excited for the draft we should have a top 3 pick. We have enough extra picks to move up and grab another player or players that Murray likes and then who knows what the Islanders do with their pick. -
What Murray is gonna do like he said at the press conference is he wants to create competition at all positions. With all these picks coming up in the next two years there is no doubt this team will be stack plus u have all the picks from the last two drafts as well. I know people don't want to hear patience but we need another full year of being at the bottom to complete the overhaul.

I'm sure Murray knew about Hudson off the Kings as well. To me people are making a big deal of McNabb. To me he had two chances to stand out for two coaches and couldn't with either one of them. I'm not sold on his skating anyhow. You look at the Hawks defenseman and those guys can skate and move the puck.

I actually like all the moves he made. With the trade to LA I think Murray had Hudson on his radar and didn't mind giving up a couple of 2nds. No big deal it's not like we don't have enough already. Moulson gone for two more 2nd rounders. Decent move. Goalie who fell out of favor with the Caps and still only 25. Let's see if he can turn it around. Buffalo always manage to find solid goaltending. We have a lot of prospects with a lot more coming and I have a lot of faith in Murray to get guys he wants. The key is the Cup plus you don't think he is gonna want to show his family that he can build a winning squad. You better believe it. I'm fine with that. Buffalo always seems to find good goaltending

I think Murray has a set of players he will want and will move picks or whatever to get those players. You build thru the draft. I have been saying that for years. Every time Buffalo had a chance for a top 5 pick they go on meaningless runs to screw their draft position. We land a top 3 pick this year and next the turn around of this franchise will be quick. Mark my words. Plus you throw in the Islanders pick which could be another pick in the top 5.
-
That's fine as long as he gets his offensive touch back. Like Murray said he a complimentary player. If I'm Murray I'm going one more year of the tank especially with McDavid sitting there plus who knows what the Islanders do with that 1st they traded us. We could possibly have 2 picks in the top 5. Not many teams ever get that. I think it could be a fast turn around if that happens.

I said this before and I will say this again from last year that the rebuild was going to take a few years and that it would be 3-5 years before we seen the playoffs but leaning more towards 5 years. This team wasn't going anywhere with Miller, Moulson, Ott, and whoever former sabres you want to throw in there. The big picture is the Stanley Cup and lets face it with Pom's and Vanek and the previous players I had mention they were still a long way from being a team that could contend.

McNabb, Two 2nds for Hudson Fasching & Nicolas Deslauriers
SabresBillsFan replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Agree, People are down the deal because of McNabb and the 2 2nd rounders. McNabb couldn't even make the worst team in the NHL twice with two different coaches. He had chances to shine under Rolston and Nolan and couldn't nail down a spot. Not worried about McNabb making much of an impact. His skating isn't the greatest anyway.
