  1. If his current assistants suck (which they do), why hasn’t he stepped in to fix some issues? Are we supposed to believe it’s more on them that it is on DG?

    KA sucks all around. Can’t get a good coach or assemble a roster.

    I've been wonderig lately...what would happen if KA said, "I guarantee we will make the playoffs next year, or I will resign."  How do you think the team would respond?  How would the fans respond?

    Players who are up for contract will play great. Players who already got their contract will suck. Fans will eye roll.

  2. So we’re all on the same page, sell means everyone except the top nine forwards, top four defense, Levi, UPL, and all of our prospects. 

    It’s ok because our garbage players will still land us a top four dman, number one goalie, and about two middle six forwards who play a physical game.

    Besides we could never trade TNT, Tuch, Skinner, Cozens, Mitts, or Power. They’re so good on paper 😂.

    Yes, I'm against the move.  Dump someone else who doesn't play two-way hockey and doesn't make his teammates better.  Start with Skinner.  

    If KA thinks he can't afford Mitts, he hasn't analyzed the deadwood on his roster.  He is currently paying KO, Z, VO, Bryson, Comrie, Jokiharju, Krebs, and EJ 20 million.  

    Trade Skinner and recover probably $6 mill per year for the next 3 years.  That will go a long way to paying Mitts.  

    Moving Skinner would require salary retention or taking in a bad contract. He’s overpaid when you consider how one dimensional he is.

    None of the other players you mention will return anything of value.

    Fair but can we talk about Dahlin's play?
    KA added Clifton and EJ on the blue line and they have been as advertised / expected. Very nice compliments. (toughness, physical, and veteran leadership)
    Dahlin has been a huge disappointment.  He is the single biggest problem on the team.  I don't know what the solution is, unfortunately it's looking like he's Risto-esque.

    Congrats! You win the most uninformed hockey analysis.

    The Yellowstone Caldera will erupt, plunging what is left of life into decades of Winter, reversing global warming.

    The Sabres will be on the cusp the season prior.

    Less teams in the league would increase our chances.

    We will put people on Mars

    This is actually possible to happen before the team does something meaningful.

    Why would we bring in a guy who can’t win us a cup? Makes no sense.

    Because this team is far away from winning a cup. They need someone to create an environment of realistic expectations and hold them to what it takes to achieve those expectations.

    Going from the DG era to cup contender will take time and the right coach. Then they will be physically and mentally prepared for a run.

    I would definitely not want him back, he has only made the playoffs 3 times in 7 seasons after leaving the Sabres and has not advanced passed the 2nd round. No thank you!

    Not about making a cup run. It’s about bringing in a guy who can hold players accountable and set a standard.
