The Rangers window for a Cup will be closed in about 2 years I believe so I am a little surprised they would be shopping him (rebuilding on the fly I suppose)?

Buffalo is 2 years away (if everything goes right) from taking a look at a trade like this. I don't care how good the player is, stick with the youth plan and let's watch this team grow together. O'Reilly would seem like a perfect fit but obviously Z is the main piece there. Do we stock the top 6 or do we hold on to what we hope to be a young, nasty D with the youth? Those are the questions that good GMs get right so we'll see.

Ridiculous

Only a guarantee for a Cup would make that worth it and we know that's not possible. Way too big of a risk especially since next year's 1 will probably be a lottery pick.

At MOST, Sabres are giving up 1st, 2nd, 3rd and most likely, just a first and a 3rd. For 6 or seven strong years out of Saad, I have no problem with that.

Saad is a no brainer right? I have been watching him closely and he is making things happen on his own.

That arena has been dead to the world for 10 years so I'll take anything.

It really does though...Toronto with all their fans vs Buffalo and more importantly, the Canadian coach who left us in the dust for the bigger, flashier Canadian city. I can't think of a better game than the first one to fire that one up.

I'll be happy to get that one going

I'm goin' with Lieutenant Dan

Dan sounds very smooth. I love how he whispered the person's name who was asking the question most times. It was like... hi john, I'll be butchering you down the road

17.5 mill over 5 years is my guess.

Never easy in Buffalo is it....

I like the stats talking about winning percentage over the 2 years Crosby missed 100 games. Dan still got to 106 and 107 points.

We bring this guy in for a lot of our client entertaining events like the Masters.... http://www.cigartainment.com/

I liked what Dreger had to say about Bylsma this morning in that he is a real teacher and very communicative during practices. That practice bit may not go over well with a lot of veteran players but it sure sounds good for all the young-ins that will be on the roster. Just like it took a few days to get over losing the draft, I am totally fine with Bylsma after hearing some professional opinions.

Giving up a first would be absolute stupidity.

Heading to Newport Folk Festival end of July and they just added Roger Waters to Friday list. That festival has come a loooong way in the last few years.

I'll be the first one to admit that I was pretty pissed yesterday but it was not because we did not get Babcock, it was because the perception was that buffalo came in 2nd AGAIN. That anger has subsided and it really feels as though the fan base and management alike are going to be on a ,mission with this team. I don't care who the hell they get as their next coach as long as he is on the same page and REALLY wants to be here. Big name, new name...whatever. I am so ready for that next step and I think we can agree that there is no wrath like a TM/TP scorned. Buffalo has always loved the us against the world mentality and I think that will more evident now more than ever. As a season ticket holder, I am fired up and absolutely cannot wait for the opening lineup announcements as well as those Toronto games. People seem pretty fired up in these parts and I like it. The next chapter is unfolding and it is going to be a freakin' hell of a fun ride. The fans are ready to back this team and with the youthful, talented group that has been collected, these names should grow with us for a while. Time to close this thing boys, time to go get that first prize!

Pretty sick and tired of Buffalo sports coming in 2nd. I hope this diss lights a forest fire under Terry and Tim.

The King showing way too many chinks in the armor, wow

My vote goes here. Man I can't wait to go to that first Toronto game.

Sabres were planning on holding a news conference this past Monday because deal was in place.......man they have got to be VERY pissed off right now. Toronto is going to be bullseye #1 for TM and Pegula.

A lot more POd than I thought i would be. For absolutely no reason at all, my hatred towards Toronto has sky rocketed and those games in our barn are going to get awfully heated over the years.
