    He’s better than Clifton, Joker, and Power which automatically makes him a top pairing on this team anyway. 

    Yeah, I see that, but it should not be.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer.

    Baring no changes I can see Byram with Dahlin.  Power with Muel and Cliffsie with Joker may not be terrible.  Or maybe Clifton with Power.  What's his name is looking like a good #7 too.

    Other than 97 and 29 on Oilers Byram was the best player on the ice. Very impressed.

    Good point!

    Your OP was not exactly wrong either.  The new kid is really trying to impress his new playmates.  He has had 2 very good games and it has taken him no time to clue into the 'system' here, which only shows to go us all that there really is no 'system' here atoll - just go play, boys.

  3. Wholly crap, yous guys.

    KA likes Girgs in his own right.  Terry likes him, I like him, everybody likes him.

    I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream (and Girgs).

    He is what he was when we drafted him.

    He has been a very good soldier and leader of this team through the bleakest period in team history, which has nothing to do with him.  He did nothing to make it so and he has given his all to this team.

    A 25 year old 2nd/3rd line centre for a 22 year old top pairing dman. You make that deal everytime. 
     

    Byram will be the better player long term.

    I think it is a good trade for both teams, but I think it's a bit early to put this kid as a top pairing Dman.  The future looks good for his development, but he isn't top pairing yet as far as I can tell, even on the Sabres.  Same is true for Casey - he is developing nicely, but he is not a 2C yet, even on the Sabres.

    Therefore, a reasonable *hockey trade* for both teams.

    Girgensons - Adams; "I'm really glad we're keeping him, because there is something special about him."  It must be his offensive output.  Those 7 goals in 47 games this season are something very special.

     

    You know what he means and deep down you agree with KA on that.

  6. I should have watched it before reading this thread.

    I just watched it and it's nowhere near as bad as reading this thread would indicate.  Of course, many would look at it the other way and that is fine.

    That drafting Krebs thing is head scratching for sure, but whatever.

    I like that he got emotional in talking about KO.  He may not have the heartlessness to ultimately do well as an NHL GM and I would actually be fine with that so long as they bring in a stone cold hard ass to be GM and KA can be a ceremonial head of something or other at some point when the Sabres are on another cusp (hey there @PASabreFan).

    Dahlin will be captain next season if not sooner.

    I think things will be fine.

    I’m going to Canucks game on 19th and it’s the second of back to back games. I’m gonna get Comrie aren’t I

    Probably not.  I think 6K will get every game until Sabres are officially eliminated from the playoff.  In that case by the 19th you may get Levi.

    You might be right as long as one of the idiots wasn't Darcy. There are certainly many prime suspects to choose from. The Pitt Gang. Black, Sawyer, Benson, Battista!

    I don't know for sure, but I assume from his *it's up to Terry* comments back when Darcy and I have to say Ruff would have been dead set against the tank.  All the others listed had more influence and I suspect all of them were fully on the tank train.

  9. An afternoon delight ??  Let's hope so.

    Just in case - it's one of the National Games on SN today up here and on *pirate satellite, orbiting your living room* ...

    MUST WIN !!

    GO SABRES !!

    AVENGE ????? (THERE MUST BE SOMEONE ,,, )  OH, YEAH .. FOGOLIN !!

    SWORDS !!

    For those not keeping track - Connor Clifton has turned into the Sabres shutdown stud D.

    Come on man.  The historical level of losing should be proof enough.  Look at the experience and quality of the leaders he selects to run the team.   Do you know how this franchise is viewed across the league? 
     

    Maybe he hasn’t abandoned them, but he hasn't done anything to make this team better in any way.  Almost every decision he makes is worse than his prior decisions.  By far the worst owner that the Sabres ever had, and his record is the worst of any NHL owner ever. 

    Mr. Pegula's one glaring error was to listen to the idiot(s) that advised him to authorize the damn tank.  

    The better approach would have been to do a rebuild.

    That one fatal error has lead directly to where the team is now.  I know most say by now the tank does not matter.  I disagree with that.  With no tank there would be no GMTM no JBOT no Eich (very possibly Marner instead) ...
