  1. I understand that getting young players back will accelerate our rebuild, but teams are much less likely to part with them than draft picks. We all would like to think the Sabres have these great players who will net us stuff in return, but if they were so great, why are we on pace to shatter the single season shutout record by a mile?
  2. Sabres with another statement game. One after another...
  3. Great teams have a continuous stream of good players in development at different stages. GMTM isn't looking to shape a great team for the 2015 season, but for the next decade or two. That steady stream of players come from the draft and the more picks you have, the greater the chance of hitting the jackpot (considering the draft is a huge crap shoot). I'm not even adverse to trading Stewart for 2016 or even 2017 picks. I can't honestly say trading him for an actual player is going to net the type of player we need right now or next year. Our system is already packed with 2nd and 3rd liners.
  4. I hope the NHL steps in and somehow screws Carolina. Such a waste it would be if McDavid went there.
  5. If I were Teddy, I'd TiVo this one and later sit down with our team captains tomorrow to review how big games are won.

    Zadorov?

    So, has this been resolved yet? Is he staying or going? And to where?
  7. Agreed. Is there a way we could send them Stafford & Ennis for one of their washed up scrubs?
  8. I wish I could get automatic updates pushed directly to my iPhone. A dedicated app would be great, with notifications and a widget.
  9. I'm making Sabres voodoo dolls as I type this.
  10. Maybe this thread should just get pinned now. Regardless where he ends up, he's going to be an ongoing topic of discussion all year long. That, or we get new Samson threads popping up every time he gets a goal.
  11. He has an equal chance of ever making the Ranger's roster as he did with the Hawks. Looks like the decision not to sign with the Hawks was a spite move.
  12. Every day of the week I'll pick delayed gratitude in order to achieve greatness. I don't want a good team, I want an elite team.
  13. I'm not too concerned either. I think we all have bosses in our chosen fields that we respect, but whose professional opinions differ than ours. Still, they're in charge now and we can do things differently when we are the boss. I'm sure TM never had the final say in Otawa, but he is a professional, so I trust him to make the best decisions for our team now.
  14. Bad website, but has me salivating. Tank on! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2143692-hockeys-future-mcdavid-eichel-and-the-race-to-no-1-in-2015
  15. Like him installing a Joe Battista into the Bills FO? He's injected cronies into the Sabres organization, so I'd expect no different with the Bills. The real question is whether Whaley would tolerate it or role over. It seems like it takes a strong personality, like what TM has and PLF didn't have, to deal with it. The 2nd question is whether us fans even care, as long as we aggressively pursue a Super Bowl.
  16. Geez, he must really hate Wayne Gretzky. Otherwise, I think this is a high risk, high reward hire. The guy had been out of coaching for a while, but was great when he was.
  17. This: http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/24/justice/arizona-execution-controversy/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 ZFG
  18. I know you had to cut it off at some point, but did you leave out Dennis Persson & Marak Zagrapan on purpose? These would have been players hitting their prime right about now. Then: Ennis is no one to be excited about - 3rd liner, Myers may be turning the corner after 6 full years. Zack Kassian = garbage pick. Armia...I'm certainly not going to hold my breath. The rest, I agree, too early to tell, but none are likely to be elite talents, which is what the 1st round is all about. It's really hard to get that excited about our prospects when we're talking about 2nd and 3rd line ceilings. I do love our blue liners though...and Sam, of course.
  19. Well, my point was that it was a really dumb thing to say. But anyways, what does he about all the wild animals (squirrels, rabbits, birds, etc) that ###### in his yard? And no ones following behind them to clean up after them either. Must be rough on him. Pretty friendly guy. That was a fine gesture.
  20. This is a good write-up. Appreciate it. Makes me feel better about our future then just seeing a list of the invitees (which isn't that impressive in itself). I just wish we had a better hit percentage for our 1st rounders over the last few years.
  21. Don't worry, he's a mild-mannered gentleman off the ice who turns into a madman once on it.
  22. We can trade them Myers for Reinhart plus their 2016 1st. In fact, as long as Snow's their GM, they should automatically give us their 1st 'cus we own him.
  23. Should we start a petition on Change.org?
  24. No ###### given? States botching executions of unremorseful criminals convicted of brutal murders. Like that guy in Oklahoma. Absolute zero ###### given. If someone told me that, I would've told him to be my guest. I would've then filmed it and uploaded it to YouTube and said who's the ass now? No offense, but that was a really strange thing to say. Plus, last I checked dogs can't ###### in toilets and it's not like they're shitting on your front porch or walkway.
