I would be just as satisfied... Although I'd miss my college graduation, so that might be a tough loss.
We can pause for major events and holidays.

It is early in the week. Lol. You know i think i truly am sick. Last night i went to bed anxiously awaiting some news in the morning. Woke up and immediately reached for my phone on the nightstand. My wife says " your already on your phone". Just checking for an important email dear.
Little did she know i tossed and turned all night because of two dudes named Rabi and Straw. Anyone want to join me in therapy?
Sure, I used the excuse "just checking work text messages honey" this morning
I just wish there was a "simulate to the trade deadline" button. I just want it to all end.
Can we also fast forward to June 26, 2015 as well?
-
If it's from the Kings, it might as well be 2014. They're probably not going to be a draft lottery team next season (and certainly not one with a great chance at winning).
Good point,however based on TM's Comments the 2015 Draft is much deeper. I would rather have a few extra firsts in that draft.
-
My prediction after surfing pages of uninformed internet speculation and gossip:
Moulson to the Kings for a first and Kyle Clifford.
Hopefully any first is from the 2015 Draft.
-
More speculation on Miller. This time involving the Wild.
-
Damn the Sabres should trade for SEKera.
-
Another 4-3 loss?

Varone does not look out of place thus far

Where is Doug???

Interesting interview with Murray by Pierre Lebrun.
Talks about potential trades.
Murray has also brought in his own scouting system, which was introduced to the scouting staff last week.
The day after I got hired, I wanted to bring in my own scouting system as far as Rinknet and rating system," Murray said. "We got that done about a week ago. Now our guys have to learn that and I know the numbers aren’t going to jive with my numbers right off the bat but I told them that we’re going to be talking numbers, 'If you told me you went to watch Pierre play last night, is he a five or a four-plus?' That’s going to be the lingo and the culture here. So it’s going to take them time to get on to the system, but I think that was important to get everyone on the same page right off the bat and let them run with it. Scouting is everything. Scouting is where it’s at. You can’t improve unless you evaluate well, whether it’s pro, whether it’s amateur, whether it’s staff, they say you’re not supposed to judge but that’s all we do."You just get that feeling that the Sabres have hired well here.

At least we can take solace in the fact the Coach and the GM who made the decision are no longer with the team......right???

Convince the islanders to let us draft this year.
We take Reinhart/kapanen - bennet . resign ott + Moulson
2015 if we are lucky we take Mcdavid or eichel.
in 2016 we could have this line up, work your magic murray :P
Moulson - Mcdavid - Reinhart/kapanen
Bennet - Grigorenko - Girgensons
Ennis - Hodgson- Foligno
Ott - Larsonn - Flynn
Erhoff - pysyk
Ekblad myers - Mcnabb
Zadorov - Risto
x Mccabe
Enroth
Hackett <--- don't think the kid will make it. Ullmark and makarov will be breathing down his neck soon.
btw have been looking up on bennet a bit, i wouldn't mind taking him over ekblad and reinhart.
then again i might even consider taking Kapanen over ekblad and reinhart if you want real speed on your wing.
Why do I get the feeling that either Crosby or Malkin will miss a significant amount of time with an injury next season causing the Penguins to finish in 14th place and out of the playoffs. And with their 0.5% chance they win the Mc David Sweepstakes.

Dan Marr from Central Scouting Service was on WGR 550 talking about this years prospects. Seems high on Bennett. Called him an "elite scoring warrior"

With the front office overhaul and TM's comments about trading players at the deadline to manipulate draft position, here's hoping it's today :)
:thumbsup:
-
I get the impression that Tim Murray's strength is in player evaluation. Oster looks like a contract/CBA-oriented guy. Could be a good fit, and one that doesn't necessarily replace the functionality of Kevin Devine. There's no convenient list I was able to find, but I think a few teams have two AGM's, notably Boston (Jim Benning [player eval, trades, FAs] and Don Sweeney [player development]).
I think in keeping with the model of dumping money into the front office, there's no reason to drop Devine, unless it's a bad fit or an insurmountable personality or philosophy conflict.
Sounds about right
-
Uhhhh
@FriedgeHNIC: Aaron Ekblad has four goals in the first 33 minutes tonight for Barrie.
I know the Sabres need forwards, but that size and scoring ability might be too good to pass up.
-
I still trade him. He's testing free agency no matter what at that point. Regardless of whether he's choosing between us or a contender as a FA, we might as well get a little return for taking that risk.
I would as well. If a second rounder is the best the Sabres can get, make it one in the 2015 Draft, which TM said was deeper.
Another option would be a conditional second rounder that becomes a first if Miller resigns.
-
Good: We should introduce the new personnel to the crowd.
Better: And show some interview clips on the Jumbotron.

Feels awesome for once to have an open checkbook like Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder to make whatever you want to happen, happen
Without the meddling... ;)
-
Devine was sitting in row one and Murray said his first job was to talk to Devine and get acquainted with the scouting department.
He also complimented the organization on the quality of its prospects.
I suppose the meeting could have been to put Kevin on notice, but I think it was more about "let's get down to work."
I could see the final decision on Kevin Devine's Future with the Sabres waiting until after the draft in June.

Mike Harrington @BNHarrington11m
After main presser, LaFontaine says #Sabres definitely interested in keeping Miller if he wants to stay.
-
Man, LaFontaine has really transformed our hockey department into arguably the best in hockey. Craig Patrick is a huge addition.
This and an owner willing to spend millions on the team, the future is certainly bright!!
