    Note to  Fans in Attendance:

    Hockey is emotion. This team must dread home games because of the continuous booing, which is really embarrassing to the home team and gives the visitor the edge. I know it's been a looonnnng twelve years (and Pegula sucks!) but I ask the fans to try to forget the bad history and to not to be so quick to boo the team. They are young and fragile and need the crowd behind them. Not to be continually kicked in the ass. Otherwise , bad plays cause booing and booing causes bad plays, over and over again. The next thing you know, it's another loss. So rally behind them if at all possible. Booing only gets them down and makes them play uptight and worse. 

    What’s next? Blame the fans for not spending their money on tickets because an empty arena hurts the player’s feelings?

    If ever there was a post that needed to be rethought.

    Absolutely not. If they suck they get the boos. The fact you insinuate the justified fan reaction is part of this team’s problem is laughable. 

    How about they stop being fragile pansies and give the fans a reason to cheer.

    Skinner has a full NTC so he isn't going anywhere. Which of Tage, Tuch, Cozens, JJP, Quinn, Mitts, and Benson are you willing to trade for defensive help?

    Which of those 9 are you trading?

    Skinner, a top goal scorer, has a complete NMC and a huge contract.

    Tuch is an excellent all around player when healthy on a bargain contract with a M-NTC.  He is also the poster child for “wants to be here.”

    TNT is the team’s top center, top goal scorer and on a reasonable to cheap contract.

    Benson, Quinn and JJP are on their ELCs and are already among our better forwards at driving offense.  

    So that leaves Cozens and Mitts. The Sabres lack centers. They don’t have any near ready in the A.  Would they ditch young DC one year into a lengthy extension?  Would they trade away Mitts, who is their best 2 way forward, most versatile forward and possibly their best playmaker? 

    While I agree that something has to change, I think it’s much more likely change come from moving on from picks and prospects being moved for help.

    Depends on who brings the best return, at that specific time, with the least negative impact offensively.

    If you want something of value from another team you need to give them something of value. What Sabres asset that is not in the top nine or named Dahlin would fetch a return the team needs?

    Thats assuming you agree the team needs help in goaltending and defense beyond a tweener backup and third pairing guy.

    Where do you see Greenway playing for Buffalo next season?

    TNT, Skinner, Tuch, Cozens, JJP, Quinn, and Benson are all top 9 forwards under contract.  When Mitts is re-signed that’s 8 top 9 forwards.  Now if one of Rosen, Kulich or Savoie make the Sabres, the 9 top 9 forwards.  That relegates Greenway to the 4th line.  Is it worth paying Greenway $3 mill to be a 4th liner?  

    What if trading Greenway helps get us a 2 way center or a top 4 D, I think KA would have to consider it especially if he believes Greenway to destined to be a 4th line player next season.

    That’s assuming all of those nine will be on the team next year. Defense needs to be improved. Some of those nine could help.

    This exchange got me to thinking: 

    Who's the geezerest person on Sabrespace?  If you want to play along, post your age.

    I know for sure I'm not the oldest guy around here; I'm 61.
