Normally, NHL teams that tank take 4-5 years (or even more) to start reaping the rewards. It seems that Tim Murray is hoping that it will only take two years. Murray already has Evander Kane lined up with whoever he drafts (McDavid or Eichel), plus the Sabres have the most cap room available out of all the teams in the NHL, so I expect to see Murray busy signing players to make the team better in the offseason. I like Murray's philosophy of trying to get something in return for upcoming UFA's instead of letting them walk at the end of the season for nothing. I also like that Murray will use the draft picks he obtains and is willing to use them to acquire players/prospects instead of just waiting until the draft. Right now, the Sabres have nine 1st and 2nd round picks over the next three years, so between the cap space and all the draft picks, Murray is setting the Sabres up nicely to be a long term contender.

I don’t get people’s obsession with Terry Pegula not speaking to media frequently. Is he mandated to talk to the media like NFL players are? No. Is Pegula supposed to speak to the media every week, every month? Did Ralph Wilson talk to the media frequently? No.
One thing is for sure, Terry & Kim Pegula are not Dan Snyder, meaning they do not make snap decisions by firing people in a short amount of time. They’re both smart business professionals and will make changes when they see that what’s in front of them is not working. They like to give people a fair chance to make things work. IMO, a lot of Sabres fans are a bunch of cry-babies as they feel Terry Pegula owes them something… “Uncle Terry didn’t fire Ruff and Regier as soon as he bought the team;” “Uncle Terry doesn’t talk to the media;” “Uncle Terry promised me the Stanley Cup in three years.”

I'm not expecting the Sabres to be the worst team in the league again next season, then again, I don't think they'll be a playoff team either. I hope the Sabres will be able to land either McDavid or Eichel, but what are the chances the Sabres could land both? If they win draft the lottery (either with their pick or the one from the Islanders), would the Sabres make some moves (trade draft picks and or players) to draft both McDavid and Eichel?

Sweeping the Bruins in the first round of the 1992-93 playoffs.

It appears that the Islanders will defer giving up their 1st round pick (for Vanek) until 2015 since they will be picking in the Top 10 this year. So, with the Miller/Ott trades, that will give the Sabres three 1st round picks, and three 2nd round picks in 2015.

Just read half of Bucky Gleason's article about Pat LaFontaine, I wish I could get the time back that wasted reading that confusing, piece of crap of an article.

It sucks seeing other teams in the Conference finals. It seems ages ago when we were watching the Sabres playing against the Hurricanes & the Senators in the Eastern Conference finals.

The charge: meddling. I'm more than happy to lead the prosecution. I'm serious. I think it could be fun. We'll pick jurors, have opening and closing arguments, deliberation, a verdict.
Anyone want to defend him? Throw your name into the jury pool?
P.S. We need a judge. I've never seen chz in a black robe, but if anybody could "clear a courtroom"...
Where were you years ago with Ralph Wilson. You could have started this back in the 1960's with him and every decade since.

How many times can one team blow a big lead in a season?

Are you kidding? Why don't you post this on a Bills site? Of course they suck! Why in the world are you surprised? Did you just fall off the turnip truck? Did you finally realize that they have a history?
I just realized why you posted this here...no matter how bad the Sabres get they will NEVER approach that level of incompetence and ineptitude. Thanks for the reminder.
Go get a straw and SUCK IT UP!!!!

Boy if those aren't some convincing reasons to stop being a Bills fan.
It's amazing the Bills still has it's fan base.
