Miller couldn't give two craps, he knows he is out of here soon. There is a reason you have basically seen zero emotion (win or loss) this year from him - he checked out mentally at the end of last season....

What in the world did people want for Vanek? No way were they going to get blue chip prospects with a posible MN team in play. If they would have waited until the deadline they would have gotten less, MUCH less. Put the hatred for Darcy aside for a moment and be glad this happened when it did.

Well reading Isle fans reactions, they ALL feel like they got raked over the coals. I'll take that as a pretty good measuring stick for now...

So glad this is now done. That whole MN thing was scaring me. Vanek lost all interest in this team and the youth has been carrying any good play so far this season. Get Miller on the next train outta here and call it a day. I can finally breathe now that the TRUE rebuild is now underway. Get a power forward for Miller, draft top center and off we go.

Stafford represents EVERYTHING that is wrong with this team. He gets outworked every game and not because he is smaller and less skilled, it's because he does not put in the effort. I'll take Gerbe on this roster a million times over instead of this gutless player.

I don't care about anything other than the eyeball test and when I see a player like Stafford do what he did last night that's all I need to know

Please spare me the bashing Stafford stuff. This guy has been INVISIBLE for 2 years and the ONLY time he showed up was for his contract year. Fck Stafford and his lazy ass agenda

Last night's effort from Stafford is EXACTLY why this pansy needs to get off this team sooner than later. When I see that he can put forth effort like that from start to finish and be a real difference maker within a game, it makes me sick to my stomach to think about how many game this free loader just mails it in. I have NO doubt in my mind he is thinking "I'll play hard for a few games, get my value up and maybe they can trade me to another team where I can mail it in all over again." There is NO explanation that he can give on why we can see a game like that ONCE every year. Knowing that he has the talent but NO heart makes me hate him even more. Play hard Staff because nobody would love to get your trade value up more than me.

Miller will NEVER go to Edmonton, come on. If you want to talk to a team right now, Washington is it. I see them as a Miller away from being very good.....

I could build a contender with 3 more "losing heavy" seasons. This pathetic bunch of hockey people is paid to make moves that actually help the team instead of setting them back constantly. If they rely on top draft picks over the next 3 years, they have already given up......

Hugging the post tighter than a mouse's ear..

ECF - Montreal over Detroit WCF - St. Louis over Chicago St. Louis over Montreal Sabres - could not even begin to guess.....

nice work

These idiots are too afraid to even mention the jersey, so predictable.......

Gilmore out 8 weeks - Well, QB and DB positions are overrated anyway........

Myers said he was getting a lot of mental training this off season (first time ever.) I think I am going to need the mental training if I am really going to attend 22 games this season......

Just watched episode 1 season 1 last night. Can't wait to follow this bad boy. I am officially hooked on Breaking Bad (finally), Sons Of Anarchy, Vikings, Bates Motel and Million Dollar Listing NY (something about that show just motivates me in a good sales way).

Ahh, so basically it's just a more polite way of coming across as a chump?

Not quite sure what that means........

Forget about making Buffalo a destination spot for players OUTSIDE the organization, the brass here needs to figure out a way to keep the top players already here without overpaying them. Until this team is comprised of a solid group of players that win consistently, why in the world would star players WANT to sign here when their contracts are up. Signings like Leino are happening because it is the ONLY way to get the tier 2 players to arrive in Buffalo. Terry's pitch to Ehrhoff and others worked once because everybody thought the Sabres were heading in the right direction (or were overpaid). They are back to ground zero and everyone knows it. The only thing we can hang our hats on right now is that this youth movement has the right mix of players in it. If Buffalo is not a destination spot right now, it is Ted, Terry and Darcy's job to make it one - they have nobody to blame but themselves. Winning is the only solution and that has been a problem far too long. I really think the future of this organization hinges on what the returns are for Miller and Vanek. Is that why they are still here (not traded yet)? Does Darcy know this will be his last chance at GM in the NHL? If he blows this one, you might as well add a couple more years to the rebuild. Having said all of that, I have a strange feeling that when Miller and Vanek are traded, it will be worth the wait and if there is ONE thing Darcy has been fairly good at recently, it's getting a good return. There are some players here that I am pretty excited to see in a couple years but the returns for these two are going to be just as important for the immediate well being of this team.

exactly,get pissed about last year or the previous year's FA - NOT this year's. This is the correct path with the youth movement.

I hope they don't go after ANY free agents this year (unless they are around 25 years old). Throw the team out there and hit FA next year.

I would think Ray Emery could build upon a really nice season he just had.

If Miller wants a long extension at around 6 mill, I think he has another thing coming. I think the Isles have some pretty good and MUCH more affordable options.

Now we just need the Hernandez arrest!
