No approval from me until they actually play meaningful games next March

I want Tampa so there is a chance of Toronto and Ottawa in the first tound

They traded away their top talent at the deadline, along with many other moves, dropped like a stone after realizing a miraculous run to 8th was not worth it (and probably was not going to happen.) I don't see how that is luck, it's an organization pulling the plug at the exact right time.

Bruins make playoffs for 100 years in a row, tank for one year and will draft their future #1 center. must be nice to have a an organization that operates like a well oiled machine.

I am not expecting Levi to even be on the big club next year. Maybe he gets a few games here and there but if they are relying on him as the starter, it's gonna be 16 years of no playoffs, or whatever the number is.

Just add one more absolutely AWFUL contract to Adams failures. 4 more years at 4,750,000 per year. I don't even want this guy as a backup, so how in the world can they trade him? Are they allowed to pay him that to play in Rochester? I am guessing that Levi is the starter in Rochester next year in hopes that he can make the team eventually. Ideally, they trade for a true #1 and have Reimer/Levi as a backup. I don't see anything on the free agent list so there absolutely HAS to be a trade for a true #1. Buffalo has the prospects and draft position to make this happen. What team has a legit #1 that is still a couple years away from making the playoffs?

Trade a top prospect, and your first rounder this year for a # 1 goalie on a team that is still a couple years away. How in the world can someone be a GM of an NHL team and not realize you HAVE to have good goaltending to even have a chance at competing. GO GET A FREAKING GOALIE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benched UPL 2 months too late, oh well

Reiner going to earn his pay the next 4 minutes

Ummm, yeah. That was supposed to be a little sarcastic.

The best part about finishing the season strong is that it will definitely carry over into next year! #screwthedraftpick

If he is not on this team next year, forget being fired, Adams should go straight to the electric chair.

If Reimer is playing net, that's all I need to know. What are they still trying to get a playoff spot?! Can we at least find out if UPL is as bad as we all think so we can get rid of him over the summer...

I suppose threads like this work for me to voice how far the organization has fallen and that it is hard to believe that such a thing could ever happen to a fanbase as rabid as Buffalo is. I don't see an end in sight and maybe part of my hope is for someone who matters in the organization to catch wind of how deep the rot has travelled throughout the fanbase. If this is Phoenix Arizona, that 's one thing, but to have an organization wither into nothing in a market like Buffalo? Pegula has stolen joy for 14 years and crushed a lot of great moments that could have been with kids who are now going off to college without ever see what an incredible experience a hockey game could be like in Buffalo. I'm sorry, but the whole thing sucks.

I guess what I am getting at is that at least Eichel gave me a reason to see something special each and every night. This team, eh.

Compared to what the hype was when he was drafted, he is nowhere near it (in my opinion). He is a top 10 defenseman for sure, but once again, it seems like he still has not reached that potential.

I think we all know by now that Buffalo is consistently one of the worst teams in the NHL every single year. That alone will never get any headlines around the league. What I do find surprising is that there is not even a player on the team that is ever mentioned in the news either. Usually, on the worst teams in the NHL, there is at least a rising superstar that gains momentum as the team improves. I think the tough part for fans is that there is no hope in the team overall, there is no highlight reel player to get you to watch, and there is absolutely ZERO identity to the team overall. I can't ever remember a Sabres team that was void in all 3 areas. This, to me, is why I see no hope in next year as well.

When games matter and they are not 20 points out of a playoff spot, we see how Buffalo plays. The unfortunate thing is that we still have no idea what the actual potential of this team would be if they ever had to win a game that mattered. We still have to wait a whole year And hope they can get somewhere near eight in 2026

Ovi!!!!

Can we now officially say that we have the worst defense, goaltending, and power-play in the entire NHL? Anyone who thinks this team is close to competing is delusional

Finally, our real crap team shows up again just in time for the draft.

And the 13 game losing streak, and the 6 game losing streak, and the 3 game losing streaks, and the goaltending, and the defense, and the power play… But other than those things, they might have been good enough for 8th.

Yup, the most depressing part of the season every year.

How can you not just admire Crosby to no end, the guy is ageless.

Which is why these wins piss me off even more than the losses. Same goddamn thing every year.
