  1. I say hell no to Vincent Lecavalier. No buying players that are up in age.
  2. I believe Darcy is here at least for another season. I think Pegula and Black with there make mistake learn from it mentality really is the only thing saving Darcy's ass. I think we all know we need some top end talent here. But with the draft it isn't all Darcy. These scouts watching these kids have to be held accountable. Yes I know Darcy has the final say but a scout has alot of influence as well. If I'm Darcy I load up on offensive players this draft. Unless Florida gets number 1 pick I don't see Seth Jones going first but I see him falling to at least 3-5.
  3. Wow just wow thinking Philly gets 2 points and will pass buffalo in the standings and then the Sabres go win a meaningless game tonight. Not to happy about that. Buffalo blowing draft position for a meaningless game.
  4. I still believe if u look at Millers Vezina trophy win is he really wanted to be the starting goalie for team USA and worked his tail off in the offseason and was mentality prepared for each game that year until after the Olympics and then he went back to his normal self. Just my 2cents. I think Miller is a good and sometimes great goalie but no where near elite. I have never seen Leggio play but looking at stats I believe he should get a shot. Remember Craig Anderson was a backup in most places and ended up in Rochester and Portland. Buffalo always seems to have decent goaltending. I wouldn't be against trading Miller as long as we get decent return to speed up the rebuild.
  5. Is it me or does Chad play a damn good positional game. I think he was a solid pickup.
  6. Who knows if Miller and Vanek want to be part of the rebuild both have been around awhile and the way the league is u only have so many shots at the playoffs or Stanley Cup for that matter. If neither wants to go through this there is no choice but to unload them and get what you can for them. It should be a really interesting off season. I want Minnesota to miss the playoffs that way it will give us another shot at a decent pick.
  7. Work on getting some quality offensive players. I think we have enough defenseman in the system. Load up on the offensive players and please no goalies. I'm even up to trading Miller as long as we get alot back that can speed up the rebuild. Use a two goalie system that way they can push each other. Enroth, Leggio who they should give a look and Hackett.
  8. I guessing with this signing I would use my first and second rounders on skilled offensive players that have size and that can skate
  9. I thought he looked real good especially for how fast everything happened and that he didn't get even a practice in with the team. To me he looks like a solid addition. I don't want to hear people jump on this kid it's still an adjustment to the NHL level but I like that he getting some games in that way he will know what to work on in the offseason.
  10. Oh and by the way yes I'm one of those that want Buffalo to keep losing and the same with Minnesota.
  11. Sorry but you are losing 4-0 and getting outshot badly. Sorry Otter I like you as a player but this team deserves to get booed. And it's not just about the players but the boos have alot to do about the management of this team!
  12. I have to agree with this. If u continue to put a good team on the ice year after year your ticket sales and merchandise will go through the roof. Remember when the Bills were actually really good tickets were hard to come by and merchandise was all over town!
  13. The thing with Brian Burke is he is an aggressive GM. If their is a guy he wants he will go after them hard. That's what this team needs is a guy that can pull those trades off. Say what u want but people can say the Kessel deal was crap and it was but he got most of the younger players back the following year in the Kaberle trade. JVR trade is working in Toronto's favor just like the Phaenuf trade. Yes he's had misses on players but at least he's aggressive to make those moves unlike Darcy.
  14. Here I will give you my takes. I think he did very well in trades dating back to the Hodgson trade. You can't blame Darcy for all those picks that didn't pan out some blame has to be put on the scouts and some on that player. What I do blame Darcy for is the contracts he handed out. No pass there. But I think the scouting staff might have learned something with all the bigger players they have been drafting. Me personally I'm a Brian Burke Fan and I would love to give this guy a shot at GM. Yes we all know about the Kessel deal and some high price contracts but he has got the Leafs to where they are today and getting no credit. I know the Sabres won't fire Darcy but we are stuck with him and if he can't right this ship soon you all know he will be canned. If I were him I would be studying junior hockey players hard the next couple of years because his job depends on it.
  15. For those that haven't seen this I thinks it's pretty darn awesome! Enjoy
  16. Yeah I think Terry and Ted need to see this and say to themselves this is a GM that has balls to make trades like that because no way in hell could Darcy pull off these types of moves. They better take a good hard look at the entire front office and make the necessary changes if they want this team to be a top team year after year!
  17. Well this should be the tell tale sign to Terry and Ted that Regier has no clue on how to make a winner. Wasted Terry's money and 1 year of grigs entry level deal. Then u trade Brennan for a worthless 5th rounder. Unbelievable.
  18. I bet u Terry and Ted have to authorize all moves made by Darcy as he might be on the way out at the end of the season! At least that's what I'm hoping for. Clean house and do a total overhaul of the hockey department. Team lacks forechecking, defensive toughness, size, skill and the list goes on and on.
  19. I met Danny Gare at Wayne Gretzky's fantasy camp(no I wasn't in the camp) and again at the NHL awards a couple of years ago. The guy is a class act. Genuine nice guy. I would love for him to get more involved with helping this team get where Terry wants them to be.
  20. No one will argue that Hecht shouldn't be on this roster but this team is a lost cause this year and Hecht only has about 30 something games left in his NHL career.
  21. Yes Columbus is bad but they just hired a new President in John Davidson who I think is a smart hockey guy and then hired a new GM that is solid at scouting young players. He has 3 first rounders to work with this year.
  22. If I were Pegula and Black I would make sure all moves have to get their approval before Darcy can make a move. But right now this team has hit rock bottom. Only thing worse would be finishing last overall and not get the first overall pick!
  23. Trading Miller and Poms means you set yourself back way further with them two in your future. Problem I see is not much help on the horizon with our current pool of prospects. Not liking how this organization is built. And I'm talking player wise and prospects.
  24. This mess is going to take years before the Sabres are good again even with all the money Terry has. It's looking more like hockey hell than hockey heaven!
  25. They should this team is scary bad. They need new players and some new assistant coaches. I have never been a fan of James Patrick as a player or coach.
