Jesus Leino really wants this team to tank
-
First game seeing Stewart. First thing I noticed...size. Second, some speed. Third, some grit and uses his body to shield the puck. I like what I see so far

lol i went through that GIF 5 times before i even saw Ovi. Thats amazing

#Sabres acquire a first-round pick in the 2015 @NHL Entry Draft and a conditional draft pick in the trade with @StLouisBlues.
Maybe if miller signs we get a 1st or 2nd in 2016?
-
How good of a prospect is Shane Prince? I had never heard of him until a few days ago (not saying that negatively I truly just don't know). Is it realistic to get him for Ott, which is like a 1st round pick at least probably if as many teams as advertised are interested in him? Or would we give up Ott plus a few draft picks maybe like a 2nd and 4th for him. Whats would his value be you think?
-
Just listened to Steve ott on wgr...he said that during the whole Marchand-Myers exchange, he talked to the red who said that just prior to it Marchand tried to pump on the breaks in front of Myers and take out his knees which started it all. The ref said if he didn't do that, none of the altercation would've happened which is why he have Marchand the only penalty. Dirty rat
-
Lucic Marchand and chara all have goals tonight. Go figure my three most hated players in the league. I'm now fully expecting ville leino to score now :/ poor enroth
-
If they trade Ott at the deadline he probably doesn't come back. Not many players resign with a team that just traded him!
I think in this case ott knows the sabres would love to keep him but business wise it makes sense to trade him. Considering he's said he wants to stay in buffalo I think there's actually a realistic shot we could sign him at the end of the year if we can convince him the rebuild won't be too long
-
I read on twitter that zadorov had 3 assists tonight. Love it
-
Could that ###### enunciate "P" any harder in the KFC pot pie commercial?

Hey Ryan kesler wants out of Vancouver...maybe they miss cody hodgson!! :)

I'm not trying to direct this specifically at you but I've read a couple times already about trading up to #1 next year. This will not happen period. If we end up at #1 would you consider trading out of acquiring an absolute franchise changing player? No way I or any other team does. Colorado was loaded at centre last year but wouldn't trade out of taking McKinnon. No chance anyone trades out of McDavid, even for Eichel. I really hope I don't have to read 5 million posts about trading up to #1 next year because it will not happen.
also agreed. no chance. wasn't there a story a few years back that some team (CBJ?) offered their entire draft to move up from the 3rd spot just to 2nd and it was rejected? and that wasn't even for a 'prodigy' prospect like mcDavid. Only way i could possibly see it happening is if we had #2 and offered our entire draft to move to #1 and the other team liked eichel enough to do it

Carey price injured on the first shot taken in practice this morning and will not return to practice. Could be a huge blow for them if their Olympic hero is out long term
-
The ONLY thing I am looking for out of the games for the next week is for everyone to stay healthy. Especially miller/ott/moulson/stafford
-
You know what's also frustrating? Being a pretty decent goalie on a team for years that has been blown up by your GM.
No arguing that I don't blame him one bit for wanting out if he truly does
-
its so frustrating to know that this all could have been avoided had Darcy just decided to trade him in the offseason. Even more frustrating that this was the obvious thing to do. Everyone here knew that once the season began his value was only going to diminish. Amazing we could get a first for Paul freaking Gaustad but may not even get as much for Miller
-
Im curious to know why the NHL hasn't added in a compensatory draft pick system yet for this very reason. In the NFL if you lose a high profile free agent for nothing, at least you will most likely be awarded a 3rd round pick for it
-
Anyone else catch the discussion this morning about what could happen if the NHL does expand into Seattle for the 2015-16 season, as recent articles have suggested could happen?
An expansion team usually gets either the 1st overall pick or a decided advantage in the lottery. That could mean that Seattle may have the best chance at McDavid.
I brought this up a few weeks ago but got shot down saying there's no chance the nhl adds a team that soon....hope that doesn't happen. that would suck but I could see why the nhl would want that to happen. Screw the sabres, and get fans excited in Seattle about the next great one. Kill two birds with one stone
I think 2016 would be the earliest you would see a Seattle Team. With McDavid in play TP won't be the only GM not thrilled about adding a team next season. Also the sheer logistics of setting that up and getting it approved would take at least 2 years. You have to have the expansion agreement, the money, the building, how the team will get players, they would need to hire coaches and a gm... it is just too much to be done in roughly 16 months.
I hope you are right

More fun: Boomer Esiason (yes, that one) reported that something is coming for the rangers and it will be huge and surprising. Has been responding to people denying certain players and whatnot.
The original tweet:
Its coming and it will be huge. Surprising, shocking, inevitable, and all about business. $$$ #NHL #tradedeadline
— Boomer Esiason (@7BOOMERESIASON) February 23, 2014
It doesn't seem to be about Callahan, because he said separately that Cally is definitely getting traded. The fun is back, ladies and gentlemen.
Boomer is very reliable even though he doesn't come from a hockey background. He broke the lockout news and had the details on what the Rangers were getting back from Nashville for MDZ first.
People are speculating Callahan for St. Louis but I don't see that happening. Hopefully something happens though. Such a let down last year hearing about the huge trade between the sabres and caps minutes before the deadline and then nothing at all going down

BUFFALO SABRES
UFA in 2014: Matt Moulson, Steve Ott, Cody McCormick, Zenon Konopka, John Scott, Matt D'Agostini, Kevin Porter, Henrik Tallinder, Alexander Sulzer, Ryan Miller.
RFA in 2014: Tyler Ennis, Marcus Foligno, Jamie McBain, Brayden McNabb.
Top Prospects:
Rasmus Ristolainen, D, Rochester (AHL)
Nikita Zadorov, D, Rochester (AHL)
Joel Armia, RW, Rochester (AHL)
Jake McCabe, D, Wisconsin (Big 10)
Mark Pysyk, D, Rochester (AHL)
Others of Interest: Drew Stafford, Mikhail Grigorenko, Johan Larsson, J.T. Compher, Matt Hackett.
No-Trade Clauses: Christian Ehrhoff (modified), Ryan Miller (limited).
The Plan: New GM Tim Murray gets to put his stamp on the organization and has a challenging position to take right off the bat if he's going to deal G Ryan Miller, who has clearly been the Sabres' best player this season. But, Miller will be an unrestricted free agent and is attractive enough that he should bring a quality package in return.
There are several other Sabres veterans that could be moved, including LW Matt Moulson, C Steve Ott and D Henrik Tallinder, and it's easy enough to look at the Sabres and shed all veterans as they build for the future -- expecting that they are still a few years away from icing a competitive team -- but Buffalo will have to keep a certain number of vets around if only to reach the salary floor next season.

Drew Stafford prospect of interest???

Do people think Bylsma is a good coach? Or overrated? I mean he does have Crosby/malkin/fleury in Pittsburgh. Don't think even rolston could do bad with that...
-
Pathetic performance. If it weren't for the Russians everyone would be laughing at us
-
Quick never seen the shot. Would be shame folks put the boots to Quick now. They playing in game that most just want to get over, not get injured and get back home. No chance do these guys see themselves as bronze medal anything.
Even if quick hasn't been stellar, NOBODY can blame him when the offense scores exactly zero goals in almost two full important games now
GDT: Buffalo at Tampa Bay 3-6-14 at 7:30 PM EST

I thought I saw girgensons twist his ankle at center ice in the first and I said there I'd b surprised if he didn't sprain his ankle so I'm guessing that's what it is
