So what needs to happen based on the outcome of the Carolina game?

It made no sense to me. It was a downright steal for Anaheim both in cap hit and talent returning. Just baffling that Rutherford would make that deal. I know he has two or three associate general manager's under him, but man that was an epic fail move.

He plays both sides of the puck well, he can play any of the three positions, is above adequate on the draw and clearly has 70 point ability. I'm not saying, wow but he's what this team needs now and in the future. He's 23 going on 24. He would be a huge upgrade to the roster and help rebound this team quicker. I find him eerily similar to Stastny and he got 7.5M on the open market and was 27. I think they're right in the same wheelhouse. Call me out if I'm wrong.

I want McDavid, but as long as their in the top 2 I'm going to live with it. Ultimately, I will pray that Toronto doesn't get him in any facet (Winning lottery, trade).

Carolina has been very consistent since getting their depth back. I would say that they have to be favored. However, who knows. Just start Makarov or Hackett for the clincher.

Wow that was brutal. Miller just got back from injury recently, did he not. Ouch! Go OEL, the true anti-tank weaponry. Man is he #Beast!

Lulz.

That's completely true, last year there were a slew of interesting prospects available in the late second to early fourth rounds. Drafting a goalie is like picking up a lottery ticket from your local gas station. They range from winning, to completely wasting your time! :)

Lol, warts and all, someone needs some healthy CoHo lovin!

Where was the C: Both? For the right price I'm sure Hodgson can be had easily enough.

What? Is this anti-logic Monday. Where are these magical players coming from. To his credit Nolan has done an admirable job with the talent provided. You're telling me you'd rather give up a 1st and other assets for a pending UFA like Vermette than keep those picks for the ability to have flexible cap spendings for this offseason. What are Matt Moulson, Brian Gionta, and the others he's signed or Tyler Ennis to a contract extension. Is that not committing to players who are able to play now. What are the trades for Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian. Please explain. I'm baffled by your irrational thought process. Bashing on Murray is fine if you have a standalone well thought out point. This is just rubbish.

Lulz, at the responses in some of the cases. So his team sits in 30th, and while it is not impossible for them to fall out of the slot, as of now they are locked in. The lottery is what it is with the 20% crap shoot, but I don't see what the issue is with stating what Connor McDavid is. He didn't say he wants him and that's his guy or anything outside of that.

As good a coach as he is, nothing. If he wants to coach in Buffalo he will make his intentions known after the playoffs. When he can negotiate. There is absolutely no reason to pay anything for a potential head coaching vacancy. Trading for head coaches is beyond asinine. The times it has happened, I just chuckle.

Woot! Cannot wait!

Ristolainen is definitely gaining confidence. I love his unabashed honesty during interviews. He always says he's going to continue working. Love his motivation to get better. Go Sabres.

I'm all about clinching, but that cannot happen until at least after Monday nights game is over is that not true? At that point should we lose both, Arizona would conceivably be 8 points back, depending on their other outcome this weekend. And Edmonton is already 9 back with their win against Dallas last night. Richard Bachman, man of the hour.

Sweet!

Love everything about this statement, its downright quote worthy. Chicago was a joke for quite a while until they drafted Toews and Kane. Then sprinkling in the other areas of the team. It's life and it's time for Buffalo to do this.

With as much video as you can watch, it just seems that McDavid has an extra gear. Not to fault Eichel who is more of a natural north south skater, he has more power to his shot. They're both talented and different players. They create scoring chances, see the open ice well and finish emphatically. I don't think you're disappointed in one or the other. It all depends on what you prefer. McDavid does something once or twice in a game that few can. He's so special. I went to Erie to see him play and was blown away. His speed and ability to change mid stride while creating are unparalleled.

First off, what in the blue moon, are you smoking. There is no way that Don Maloney would ever bend over and take that kind of butt hurt for one player. Might they consider, 2015 1st, 3rd, and Dvorak or Lessio to move up to #1 for McDavid. Sure. But seriously, this post just continues to go in hand with nonsense fantasy hockey trade proposals.

Honestly if the fans want to pay their hard earned money and cheer for them to fail for McDavid, I'm all for it. Had I had the time and $ to drive up to Buffalo, I would have been there last night. However, I had to work a double shift. LOL. It is what it is, I get the players side, but to get better we need more of Ennis and less of Kaleta. We'll find the Pat Kaleta's of the world. Between Larsson, Deslauriers, and several others in their mid 20's we have a good cast of grinders on the team already. It's the skill that this team lacks to push them over. I really loved how Grigorenko has come along with Foligno and Gionta. He's not getting the results, but he's fitting a niche that he didn't have before.

Zadorov bear hugging the Yotes players. Lets us be friendz.

That shot from the point by Ristolainen was so beautiful. OEL has always been impressive. Good for Moss bringing that down to their 3rd goal.

Really good hockey play on that by Moulson. He's really been hot lately. I love watching Ennis play. Now if we only had Girgensons back. :/

Szwarz gets goal one, of this snoozapalooza.
