7+6=13

The only thing we haven't seen a GM try, is this way, and I'm not done wanting to see it through.

It's got to be more than that. I suppose it's possible but I think there's other challenges and they've not always been the same. Given that, I think this is the way. Keep developing and drafting and wade through some of the bad hockey especially when injuries are rampant.

Why haven't any of our GM's done well in the last 15 years?

This highlighted just isn't true. It would be great and I wish it were true. If it was true, the players you mentioned that should be in Roc would be great.

Ok, let's get another GM in here to get your 4 excellent players, a true number one goalie and keep every player you'd want to keep. Good grief.

Exactly. We're kind of stuck. A non healthy roster most of the season has been difficult to overcome. Yet they're 9-10-2 with all that's happened and playing really bad when it's been bad.

This game is an outlier. So you have been meaning KA watching this type of game and doing nothing.

We've tried that with more players than either one of us care to remember. It didn't work. Over the last 3 seasons? No, unless we'd like to count Clifton and Johnson. Mmm, not good. To get players better than them, we have to massively over pay and KA isn't doing it. I agree with him.

I mean I feel the same towards you. 4 players and a true #1 goalie actually makes me laugh out loud. You can think it's KA not wanting that all you'd like. We don't need top end talent necessarily, we need those guys that are good and fill your roster out. Those free agents aren't coming here unless you give them years and millions more. You aren't trading our prospects until they prove worth. That means they have to develop in Roc, etc. That time isn't now to maximize their trade potential.

You're dreaming bro. You're not bringing 4 players to Buffalo without taking a bath with money or picks vs value. You can choose to ignore it if you'd like but this is the only course. We had to woo Erik Johnson to come here.

I know right and he should have been bringing in free agents at reasonable prices because they just want to play here. He also should have traded all our prospects for those solid excellent players with term, that every team wanted to trade.

Totally agree. This isn't the Sabres "roster". It's what we had to roll out and as you said, Ruff easily prepared.

Well when you said he's watching this roster game after game, I didn't realize you meant from 3 years ago.

Because people can't comprehend tonight's roster isn't the roster they wanted playing.

I'm not sure there's another choice.

That's a different take, then how does he watch this now and not do anything.

There's young, then there's too young.

Well it's just ridiculous to say something like that. Straw man? Spare me. You want him to bring in 3 free agents make a trade? What? It's a lazy statement to make and you know it.

What other teams have addressed their issues at the 20 game mark?

Just disappointing watching games like this, even when it's expected.

Right before the goal I was going to post UPL sometimes freezes. I hope he doesn't here late.

So sick of Pittsburgh teams, I want to crush them.

Let's go boys

Totally unacceptable loss
