The Sabres taking my mind of the Buffoons at One Bills Drive.

Shout out to all of us laboring on this day!!!!!!

He has been very calculated when it comes to this roster. I know some believe he has over payed in some cases, I think he has done a real good job as GM. Doug Whaley, and Rex should take a look at this management team and learn a few lessons.

I am rather glad that he is focusing on the Sabres, and getting his game back into top condition.

If Lehner can play a full season, he is easily a top 5 goaltender. I hope he does.

DD said " 95 + points, and a playoff spot", I am going with that...... The Sabres are the only FO in Buffalo sports that I trust. What numbers should I play this week?

Love me some Chz...

Anyone ever gets in a bind, you can PM me here and I sell my tickets for face value if I am not able to go. I have two seats in 304.

I thought intersex took part while sitting at a computer. This is really getting confusing. That is probably one of the more well thought out posts on this subject. Very nice.

This PC world makes me nauseous. That statement alone hurt my feelings, I am so confused

I agree Thorny. I fell much better having a proven free agent in Okposo. Jimmy's loss.....

I would have loved to have Vessey in blue and gold. Fact of the matter is, he is an unproven player that generated a lot of hype. Our team does not get any worse with him signing in NYC. We still have a lot of pieces that will make this team better waiting in the system. GMTM did his due diligence in trying to add another piece, I applaud that. I bet Chicago isn't crying about him not signing there. We are fine, probably better off he didn't sign here.

Thankfully that is over. The Rangers are not going anywhere, anytime soon. Good for us, now makes room for Nylander. Good on GMTM for taking the risk and trying to improve the team.

Precisely the reason I am so looking forward to Hockey.

Not at all. That's why I said it was from hockeybuzz.

John Jaeckel from Chicago is reporting the below rumor, take it for whats it's worth, read it on HockeyBuzz. I am hearing now from three sources (two in Chicago, one in Buffalo) that there is a strong possibility Jimmy Vesey will sign with the Hawks Monday or soon thereafter. "Strong" as in more than just "they are on his list." All that said, I am not hearing enough, or from the right source, to say it's a done deal. I won't pretend to know much about Vesey's mindset or decision process or the "analytics" of his joining various teams. I do know the "pitch" is: "you will get to play with Jonathan Toews and likely either Patrick Kane or Marian Hossa on your opposite wing, in an Original Six city, for what is one of the top 2-3 high profile teams in the league at present." And with Vesey, the Blackhawks are the only team in he market for his services, other than Pittsburgh, who offer a realistic shot at a Cup this year. If Vesey is thinking primarily about his second contract—which I have been told he is—versus just playing in his hometown or in the same organization as his brother, then that is a compelling argument. Monday could be interesting. Like I said, sources saying it points to Chicago right now.

I honestly think it comes down to Chicago, or Buffalo. I think (hope) he will sign with us due to our cap space, our front office, and the fact he will get a chance to play with Jack, and Sam. If he signs elsewhere, Whatever. Go Sabres!!!.

I lived in DC, and spent a lot of time in NYC. You can have them both. IMO, nothing beats BUFFALO.

Should have been, us mid 40 people are being discriminated against.

I trust the Lehner pick, he watched him play enough. GMTM knew that his health would be a wild card.

I would give a 2017 1st, and a Conditional third to have the opportunity.

Driving under the speed limit. What's with my WNY people? Stopping on a merge? Merge with speed people, do not stop dead on the thruway to let people merge in. Texting and driving, WTF stop it. You are holding up traffic, and endangering everyone around you. People standing in a single line when there are multiple cashiers. What are you doing? Make two lines people....

Agreed. Although, DD or Disco has a great ring to it, and should always be used when referring to Dan.

I definitely think if Vessey falls through Nylander is who he potentially sees as the winger for them. agree. We still have Ennis, I forgot about him.

I think Guhle, and Nelson are close to full time regulars. I was really impressed with Nelson last year.
