  1. The Sabres mean quite a bit to me; in part as my great-grandparents were part of my original reason for becoming interested in the team.
  2. Oh I'm furious but would never want to lose my team; no matter how bad it may be. Buffalo loses far too much and losing the hockey team would just be another knife to the gut.
  3. If we sign our guys I doubt the apparent internal cap will play any part in it. Pegula has shown plenty of times he's willing to pay out the bucks to players. He just hates paying anyone not to be here and/or will look for contractual circumstances that may have a cheaper way of paying it.
  4. Maybe its because you aren't in Buffalo anymore but for those of us still here its location is also paramount.
  5. I doubt we survive another dumpster fire season; they've burned every last bit of good will into ash then shoved it into an atomizer.
  6. Wouldn't consider it a meltdown tbh They gave up 1 goal on a triple deflection then their PP did absolutely nothing until they gave up 2 ENGs I do however agree that it was certainly a winnable game
  7. What a ***** joke, never be aggressive with this team; they are incapable of doing it right
  8. Seems like they have no default option in those cases. They like putting their D in jackpots
  9. So let's see; we had at least 4 sticks broken in the 2nd 1 or 2 cost us a goal against 2 cost us good scoring chances VAN's goal was a pure lucky bounce Where's Zucker?
  10. There's a few players who seem invested in the Bills Tuch is an obvious one Dahlin has really become a fan with his friendship with Dion Dawkins A few other players definitely have a passing interest
  11. The biggest thing with Pettersson would be what else do they want with it. I wouldn't give them Cozens, Byram and our 1st for him.
  12. Frankly I'd trade it if said player was out there; but I personally don't believe it exists. Plus I don't have any interest in just throwing it into a larger trade for the sake of "value."
  13. As per always, when our teams can be screwed; we most certainly do.
  14. And yet anyone with a brain knows that won't be the case. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell we'll get anywhere near the value of the 1st overall from anyone we might acquire using it. And as we all seen tonight, if we can be embarrassed by unusual and/or rare situations we tend to. Plus I really don't feel like endless Mahomes-like talk when referring to the Sabres trading the 1st overall as said pick tears up the league. Not to mention I wouldn't trust Adams to use it in a trade to begin with.
  15. Muel did go to him but the ref wouldnโ€™t let him get even close
  16. What happened to Muelโ€™s brain? Heโ€™s made two baffling plays in this game and he also fired a puck off the back board in an attempt to clear on the PK
  17. You don't have to hold onto everyone but I wouldn't just go trading everything for random extreme short term vets. Plus our 1st is to be protected; the last thing we need is to trade our 1st and then actually win the lottery. We'd only add to our misery
  18. Very unlikely to be worth it If there were a team out there looking to unload quality middle aged players for futures I'd open my asset accounts; but I have zero interest in trading our 1st/highly touted prospects/Helenius for any rentals or 35 year old 3rd liners. Frankly our 1st should be all but untouchable at this point; barring a rapid climb in the standings the likelihood of getting any player worth a Top 5 pick is miniscule. Since most teams with players worth that sort of asset are rarely in the market looking to trade them away to garner high draft picks.
  19. I'd at very least be tempted for sure. That being said his stats this year in the NHL weren't good by any metric
  20. Krebs has far more range on if he's good or not than Benson. Both fulfill many of the effort needs of their position but where Benson excels is in fewer dumb plays or over-playing the puck. Krebs will play great for a handful of games and then usually drop off a bit by trying to do way to much and needs to be pulled back in. Benson isn't perfect, but he seems immune to overconfidence driven gaffes.
  21. They had played "ok" up until that freak goal by Slavin, then they turned into terrified children.
  22. At the moment NHL.com says its Thompson's goal while their own media piece talks about McLeod's hattrick
