Don't like to see a spear. Punk move.

The Foligno experiment has run its course for me.
-
Really? And where did that get us? Talent and hard work is what I long for. Unfortunately both are noticeably absent.
-
It is hand injury. McGahee and Lattimore suffered MCL and ACL knee injuries. I don't see the connection.
-
I think we can get a prospect and a 2nd for him. I kid I kid.
-
Gionta is horrible. How can he have fallen so far so fast?
-
Oh boy GoDD will be on fire.
-
What drop pass! My lord that kid has eyes in the back of his head. Neuvirth had no chance.
-
Risto has a knack for getting the puck on net. Whoa there big fella...lotta game left.
-
The logjam is what seems problematic.
-
Don't really see that. While both are snipers, Eichel brings more vision and grit. Both can score.
-
So the idea that Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste and Lemieux joining the Amerks for the playoffs could be a bit of a stretch?
-
Can someone familiar with AHL roster rules enlighten me regarding late season additions? Do they get roster exemptions for junior players whose seasons have ended to join the roster or do they have to cut or waive players? I assume they must be under an ELC. Much appreciated.

Centers - What the Sabres think all Wingers can play

http://www.tsn.ca/button-projecting-canada-s-roster-at-wjhc-november-1.124839 Interesting that Reinhart is projected as a RW. (soory for the duplicative post in the Roster thread.) -
Interesting that Buttons is projecting Reinhart on RW with McDavid at WJC's. Would think he would be at least 2C. http://www.tsn.ca/button-projecting-canada-s-roster-at-wjhc-november-1.124839

I don't think most Sabres fans would be able to tell the difference. Most wax poetic for the Ott days and promote ham and eggers like Cody McCormick. Some genius here even wants Rheinhart in the Ice Follies. The best of the league has superior talent. The hardest working team will still lose to hard working talent.

Uh no. Nice try though. Chicago was old and held on to its core too long. Tallon was brought in and realized he had nothing to trade with. Pittsburgh, pre cap, tried to be the yankees and bought every free agent on the market and had to pay Lemieux in stock. Whenthey all got old fast there was nothing left. And yes they tanked knowing that they didn't have to worry about a lottery. DFL meant no. 1. Boston sucked in order to get the picks and prospects to make the trades everyone is clamoring for. Again what did we have that anyone wanted? Zilch. Expiring ufa contracts were moved for assets. It sounds like you would have rather re-signed Vanek, Miller, and Pommers to market deals. Yeah another run to mediocrity! In order to trade or entice free agents you need assets. We will have them soon. The myth that there was another option is tiring and debunked by the fact that nobody is lining up for what's left. We couldn't give Stafford away to the Wild.
-
So if Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, LA isn't the way to go give an example you would emulate. Ground rules first. No original 6. No NY market. After that we get a little thin. Vancouver? Oh yeah they drafted brothers after being atrocious.
-
But too few on defense. Take comfort in that.
-
But it was a conscious decision nonetheless. He knew how bad we were, he played against us.
-
But TO is doing exactly what you espouse. Make trades, bring in FA's and yet you and others dismiss them. I see it as evidence that overhauling, while disteful, is a better way to build. +1
-
We tried the run at fas. Ott is a journeyman. Miller wasn't enough. Vanek was as good as gone. When you have nothing you have nothing to deal with. Saying PLF wanted to get good fast is not a plan.The reality is poor drafting and player development for the duration of DR's tenure left very few options but to start over.
-
Gorges waived a ntc to come here. It is the equivalent of a fa decision. Gorges knew the situation and chose it over Toronto. Hmmmm
-
What possible plan could PLF have that would have worked? In particular from a guy with minimal Front Office experience and limited player development experience? Trades? Did that for picks. Draft? In progress. Make "HOCKEY TRADES"? Yeah we saw the elevation Ott brought. Seriously, when your core is not capable of contending how do you proceed? Enlighten me, please?
