Problem not only is the defense but the lack of goal scoring! This team doesn't have many games with 3 or more goals do they. And when they do finally start scoring more the other team seems to put more in the net. I still think whoever they draft will get 10 games or less and then sent back to their respected league. This is the new management style to develop these players. I don't know about you but as bad as this season is we have to be just as bad next year to have a shot at McDavid.

Whoever they draft will still be in juniors. And most prized free agents ain't coming to a team in total rebuild mode!

You don't want to be to much better next year the key is McDavid. He has been pretty hyped for some time now. Bad thing all these late season runs hurt this squad for the future. We could have been top 3 last year in a great draft class. Now we might be picking 1-3 in a mediocre class. It figures that's Buffalo's luck. We still need to endure one more $hitty season to get this team better.

Problem is you need some key veterans around to build this young team. I don't know if it's smart to trade Ott or Moulson as much as some people want them gone!

Stafford has been playing really well since Nolan took over as coach. Still not worth what Darcy is paying him. We need him as tank commander next season. We need McDavid!

They need to keep this up for one more season. Yeah it sucks but if we land McDavid it will be worth it!

Like I said before at least Edmonton and Calgary win. Gives us more room.

Weber is terrible. End of story but we have to keep him around for at least another season to keep the tank rolling.

We'll the good thing about this lose in regulation is that both Edmonton and Calgary won tonight! If Enroth feels bad it's only going to be worse next season when we have to keep the tanks going for McDavid!

If Buffalo drafts a defenseman with their 1st pick when they are offensively challenge I think people will be pissed. We need Reinhart or Bennett with that first pick if we have a top 3 pick. Also It all depends on what New York does with that pick they traded us. If I'm another team wanting Vanek I don't plan on giving up a lot for him since he's going to test the market. Plus watching Vanek in New York is he's been very lazy. I'm not spending big money on a player that isn't going hard all game. To me Tavares is worth every penny. I'm sure management and teammates are pissed since he turned there offer down. The message it's sends is so bad. He knows he's going to get paid bank. I still think he goes to Minny after Heatley is gone at the end of the season.

Well at least they lost! Keep that tank rolling for another season and I will be a happy man if they can land Reinhart or Bennett with McDavid. That would make all this suffering worth while.

I agree we need to lose tonight. We need some separation between us and Edmonton. No reason why we have to win these meaningless games the rest of the season! You want to get better we have to keep losing the rest of this season and carry it into next season.

We need offense. We don't have much up front scoring wise. They are taking offense you can count on that!

I agree that's why I said awhile back I don't see this team making the playoffs for at least 3-5 years. Even if we draft top 3 yeah that's a start but we really need McDavid. A player like him only comes around once in awhile. Not many players draw comparison to Crosby numbers wise. You want a Stanley Cup in Buffalo you do what you must to get him. The plan was started at the beginning of the year and should continue for at least one more season. If we don't land the 1st overall pick next year I would trade my whole draft next year just to get him. Call me crazy but he a franchise player u build around. Plus I still don't see Grigs being the answer for Buffalo. His skating needs a lot of work.

We still need him around for next years tank job to have a shot at McDavid.

The only thing he provides is toughness and not much of that. He's terrible!

McDavid would make all this suffering worth while.

Problem is we have to suffer another full year and win the lottery to get McDavid. We need a player like McDavid in the worst possible way.

Colorado will be a top team for awhile with this solid young talent.

This game is over. Keep the losing going Buffalo. I want a top three pick! All these years of late playoff pushes have doomed this squad from picking up some serious talent. The question is how does Buffalo suck next year so we have a shot at McDavid. A top three pick plus McDavid would make this suffering all worth while. Plus should be interesting what the islanders do with their pick. I still think they finish in the bottom ten and draft this year.

Vanek isn't coming back end of story. I still think he replaces Heatley at the end of the season. Buffalo actually has a better chance at Heatley since Murray and Danny were both with Ottawa. Not that I want Heatley but Murray is going to make some sort of moves or the fans are gonna be pissed if it's the same squad like this season. I'm all for one more. $hit year if we have a solid shot at McDavid. But that's just me. A player like McDavid doesn't come around that often.

I agree if we trade Moulson who in the heck is going to put the puck in the net and you lose another solid player for what a guy that might make the team in 3-4 years. A team that's gonna trade for Moulson is going to land you probably a 1st rounder in the 20's. We can't lose every veteran on this squad. I would like to keep this same $hit squad for one more year minus miller so we have a solid shot at McDavid. A player like McDavid doesn't come around that often and I would like to get him! Then after next season it's all about putting together the best possible team.

I'm all for one more year at the tank job and a solid shot at McDavid. We know Leino sucks but we still need some salary on this team so we don't fall below the league minimum. Even if we land a top 3 pick this year we could use at at one more to help out. Players like McDavid don't come around that often. Right now we have one second line and 3 fourth lines.

At least Edmonton has won two in a row hopefully they can put together a few more and put some separation between them and us. Same goes for Calgary. I just want a crack at Bennett or Reinhart! Plus it should be interesting with the Islanders. Do they keep that pick and give us a shot next year. I highly doubt the Islanders are going to be much better next year. It's not a free agents priority to go there.

It's going to be interesting to see if other teams make a move on either of them before the Olympic break.
