[GDT: The Lottery (Eichel is OURS)]

All things considered, it is best for McDavid to go out West if he isn't in Buffalo.  I'm fine with the Oilers getting him instead of the Leaves or Carolina.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly.  We can play against him in the finals...not inside our conference.

[The "Stupid Threads" Thread]

The every thread has turned into the same thread thread.

[Sabres fire Ted Nolan]

Here's the thing kids, I don't need Tim Murray to stroke players egos, or blow rainbows and unicorns up Pegula's ass, or tell the fanbase the truth every day so we know what's going on, or to coddle the coach or coaches in an effort to make them feel better when he terminates their contracts.  No I don't need any of that although it appears some of you do.  I need Tim Murray, General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres to do one simple task, win the Buffalo Sabres a Stanley Cup by whatever means he deems necessary.  That means he has to have a plan he can not only execute but also adapt to changing circumstances.  So while some of you will mourn the passing of Ted Nolan, quite frankly I don't give a damn.  I don't need Murray to explain it to me or to hug me so I feel better. I simply need him to continually demonstrate he has a plan going forward and is executing it.  So far Tim Murray has executed his plan.  When the team bombed in January he altered his plan to maximize the assets from what then became a lost season.  When the season ended he fired the coach who clearly was not always getting through to his players.  Only Buffalo fans would lament losing a coach after the season we just had and honestly I think it is nostalgia more than anything.  Enjoy your whine and cheese kids, I'm going to enjoy a GM who is a big picture kind of guy.  Tim Murray isn't the General Manager to make everyone all warm and fuzzy, he's the General Manager to win a Stanley Cup.  

I couldn't take any more.  This is the post to end this thread.  Well stated and agree 100%.  Too may youth soccer players in this thread.  You know, the entitled to happiness and a trophy just for showing up without putting in the time and effort to actually "WIN" anything.  Oh, sorry...a little about me.  Born Dec 1960.  Grew up with the French Connection, Duds, Rammer, Luuuuuuuuuuuce, Spinner Spencer, Danny Gare, JK, JS, JG, LC, LF, BH etc. and every Sabre since.  Went to bed listeing to RJ.  Retired AF currently living in South MS...last stop for the AF.  In the big picture, 1.5yrs is light speed for the tear down GMTM had to do.  Let's revisit this thread at year three A.T.
