7+6=13

I will never understand these type of comments. There's new people making the decisions, so they're not responsible for how long its been and all the other promises. So a portion of the fanbase (not necessarily you) that wants JBot to do what we want, or we won't go to games. Then we're just as fragile as the team itself. They are a reflection of us and then we get upset. He's not going to pander to the fans just to get them to come to games and he shouldn't. Build the team how you want JBot and those knuckleheads will come back when we're winning.

I'm indifferent. I think he's a poor puck handling defenseman and I think he turns the puck over far too much. However I do like that he gives us some physicality. Part of the problem is a little difficult for me to assign to him and I wouldn't create a hole to get rid of him. However I do think, if we're ever going to get to a point where we're good, he can't get top 4 minutes.

Is it possible to not see McCabe in a Sabres uniform again?

Except he's none of those things.

Where can we ever find a player like ROR for 7.5 mil with his offensive prowess? He's one of the most skilled players in the league and he's a natural leader.

He really does bring this team down. I mean his lack of effort, his bad temper, lack of leadership, can't play with others and salary. Boy I wish ROR was still here to lead this team and Jack was the one gone.

Our fanbase could use a little toughness too. We've gotten as soft as some claim the team is.

Eichel is showing me a lot of good things on and off the ice. He's a 22 year old kid, handling himself better than the questions by these middle aged knuckleheads asking them.

This contract situation worries me. I think I understand the importance of Skinner to the team and I also understand the crippling effect of overpaying players.

I haven't done any research yet but that's usually a good spot to get the first one drafted. I think we have to identify one for the future. I don't see Ullmark as the answer.

I see a goalie being drafted with the later first round pick.

If Pommers wants to continue playing, I'd have no issue bringing him back. At a much reduced number of course.

He's a turnover machine.

Jack really needs to work on his forecheck. He just sticks out his arms.

Every player we've called up has stunk.

Oh Lou, don't

You can basically afford 2 or 3 top paying offensive contracts. If Skinner wants 9 mil or even north of that - I'm not sure JBot thinks he and Eichel are enough to compete with all the other duo's. It's not an easy decision. That Okposo contract is a real killer.

It'll be interesting to see how JBot gets treated around here if he decides not to sign Skinner. Which I think is very possible.

It doesn't bother me. However what should bother you is we're going to be very good, very soon and you're not going to enjoy the ride. Of course it's your right to follow your own directions. I'm just trying to help you take the better route. See you there.

Yet, you want to discuss who we'll draft.

Flop

Hutton comes out way to far out of the net, a lot.

God Kyle, get the puck to the net. Instead he turns it over.

I wish he'd act like a captain.

Sign this young man now please.
