This rebuild obviously started before today. The actual date could be left up for debate. But this past week the team was stripped bare. With tons of draft picks, FA market, tons of $$ and tons of cap room............ this day should be considered rock bottom. Right? It should only get better from here, albeit slowly...... right? RIGHT?

I'm not flabbergasted. I think the fact that this is even an issue is just silly. He either gets the number or he doesn't. There is no in between. Some people are putting Miller on too high of a pedestal just because he had a decent season. Had he been shipped out at the deadline last year after the crowd booed him off the ice, jersey numbers wouldn't even be an issue.

So are they supposed to wait a week? A month? Until the end of the season? Is there some kind of statute of limitations for jersey numbers? Is Neuvirth supposed to come to BFLO and proclaim 'Out of respect to the recently departed I hereby withdraw my request for the #30 for a period of one month, or 15 games, whichever comes first'? :unsure: After seeing Miller in the post game interview on the ice last night, I'm pretty sure he couldn't care less.

OK

Don't forget to subtract the 4.5 mil for Leino. I'm sure he'll be bought out.

What's that got to do with his jersey number, or this trade?

He's only started 11 games, the sample size isn't big enough.

A team full of 21 year olds isn't going anywhere no matter how talented they are.

Thanks. ;)

Anybody have a list of the Sabres draft picks in the next two years? I'm trying to make a list and I know it's not right.

I have to agree as well.

It is possible to evaluate a player regardless of W-L. Hell, even WGR is talking about Neuvirth being 'our guy' already. I don't want them to lose, but at this point they might just end up being one of the worst teams in NHL history so losing will be a given. And let's be honest, Enroth won't be given the benefit of the doubt.

Rochester does.

It's not for me. But in a season where wins obviously aren't important, I think it would be nice to see if Enroth can carry a full workload. Normally I would like to have a Halak or Neuvirth.

Isn't the whole plan to stink it up?

I don't want somebody to come in and compete for the #1 spot. I want Enroth in 60-65 games.

:wallbash:

So................. playoff contention in 2020?

Unreal................

How can people in the media get duped by fake Twitter accounts? It's not that difficult to tell them apart.

Yes, and certainly not worth giving up picks as well. Especially not two of them.

It was a joke. Look at the rest of the posts. :P

Are you going to complain about everything?

Don't read my posts, it's pretty simple. I didn't know one of the rules of the forum was to agree with everything that happens, smile, jump up and down with glee. There is an ignore feature. Use it and get off my back.

I don't know which two 2nd round picks, but basically this trade is Leopold, Regehr and McNabb for two prospects. One that won't even be ready for 3-4 years. Nice.
