Personally I think the play of the entire team went downhill after the covid19/devils fiasco. But even those first 10 games It always feeled he was a step behind the play.
That is no excuse, that excuse contains all teams and not just Sabres.
If Eric was used correct, within a team that was coached correctly, he would have produced well enough.
This is all about the coach, i will never bend for any other comment on this. -

Yeah but he done ***** all this year - and looks really slow.
And what is your take on that? give me your honest opinion. He was traded to make change u know. He has been hot last 4 seasons.

If they called for Jack, Dahlin, and Dylan, I'd say "be prepared to pay more than you want to, or there's no point in talking." I'd add Sam, Linus and Jake to that list if I knew they were going to re-sign.
There are others I'm fine with keeping, but I would trade any player on this team for the right return.
You do that, maybe you would trade for Ralph Kreuger aswell? you sure was on fire when he was hired. Now look at you.
No offense, but we just dont agree at any certain point when it comes to trading. -

If you see Carter Hutton there, tell him I said hi!
I can’t believe Linus will be in top form after all this time off, but who knows
Probably not, he is not even responding to my messages now 😛

Last time he was on the ice were winning, and looking to put together a winning streak! Since he left the ice that cold day in February, we have not won a single game.
He has to be Hasek tonight or we lose.

Not sure what you are referring to here? Other than O'Reilly, what core players have we traded since the tank? Myers?
I'm not specifically talking about core players. Key players, it doesnt have to be core players. A core player is Jack Eichle, a key player is Victor Olofsson. That is how i see it anyways.

I'm in between on coaching or player chemistry as the problem. We have talent that don't seem to mesh as a team. Question is is it only a matter of coaching? Combination?
If your trying to sell a product and your missing key ingrediants its still gonna sell, just not as good as a good product would, eventually.
My point is, i strongly believe that a 'perfect fit' as a coach is the only thing that can turn this team around, it's been a decade now without playoffs. Trading players back and forth for this team does not make the trick as for other teams, aslong as we dont find the once again 'perfect fit', that will stay here for more than 2 seasons and progress to be so successful that it eventually mindfu-ck the illusion of that "this team never will win anything" to the degree that people start to believe again.
We still gonna keep trading key assets to this team, i'm sure. I just dont think its the way to approach this situation right now.

Just now, dudacek said:
I don't know about Victor fitting here, but I think you have to be seriously looking at trading some of our key players who have experienced too much losing. Give your new coach a canvas with a little less baggage.
Like we have last 10 seasons, and how did that work out, not so good yea?
I do not agree with you at all. We just see this completly different. -
1 minute ago, dudacek said:
Same reason you trade most players: you think the players coming back might make your team better. He's one of the few players we have that might net a good return.
(Don't get me wrong, I'm not pushing to trade Victor.)
As long as you dont find a coach that is good enough for this team it doesnt matter what players u trade for does it.
That is my point. I would not trade key players to this team. -
Just now, dudacek said:
Seriously, there are some I think are just plain bad, but is there anyone who wouldn't be better elsewhere right now?
I guess so but that wasnt the point was it. Olofsson has shown to be the best powerplay weapon we've had in a decade, why would you trade that player if you had a team that was performing well?

I think Konecny brings an edge dat Olofsson doesn't have. Ghost flipping for Montour balances out the defense for each team.
Salaries pretty even.
Olofsson on a team that is working properly is way better.

I’m taking dat quote as pretty much what you wanted. Color me confused.
Dont you think it's taking it to far by Kev saying dat, like he has been a leader of a broken team... Ralph broke him as much as rest of the team.

I never expected more than a 3rd rounder for him.
3 hours ago, pi2000 said:I'm surprised they got a 3rd for him actually. Not sure what Montreal is thinking here, he's dat bad.
What u boys saying? I rly dont get it.
Over the last 4 seasons Eric has stood for
240 points before joining Sabres, he has ton of experiance and can for sure score atleast 20 goals a season easy if used right. He hasnt even missed a game, he is a pure professional player.
We got a 3rd for him, its a steal for sure. I would be very glad if i got him dat cheap as a coach. He was used so wrong by idiot ralph.
Never the less, what Kevin said is utterly pathetic and it pisses me off.
Instead if beeing honest and saying "Eric staal did his best but was not a perfect fit for Sabres. We wish him the best and thank him for his service"
He says dis.. its PATHETIC. Fu kev!

Still people expect immidiate change, i read so many comments on facebook about this and it is utterly insane how stupid people really are.
This is a group that has zero confidence, a group of players that accept losses because they are doomed what so ever and there lies the challange, the mental challange. A interim coach wont change that ofc, there is no way that is happening. I just hope they for once hit right looking over past 10 seasons, get lucky and find the right coach for these players.
Look at biggest loser as a comparison, a group of people that has totally lost their faith in them self to make a big change and they need expert help to do so, some cant and some will but as a group they usually succeed with the right equipment. Same sh1t with this group of players, they need expert help.
It is so so sad that we most likely will lose Jack, with the right coaching staff i still believe he would be the perfect fit for this team. But he obviously dont believe anymore, who does? not a single soul.
It's been 10 seasons without playoff, this team need a miracle coach, for me that would be Rickard Gronborg
This man is one of few that could possibly turn this mess around. To bad Pegulas didnt go with him instead of this tripple moron Ralph.

I had set the game to record, sat down to watch it and it wasn’t there. History said “Recording cancelled due to error”. WTF?
Damn Directv. When the NFL takes Sunday Ticket from them, I’m done.Guess I didn’t miss much with another 3 goal loss.
So what is Granato doing different that they’re giving up so many shots on goal?
Not his fault. Their souls are way to shattered to be restored this quick. I think last 10 games of this season will show.

Glad we traded this bum away

By the time this team is “good” again the majority of the players will be gone. That includes the majority of the core players. A few of them at best will be part of the transition.
You can’t change the culture without changing the players. They are a big part of the problem. In fact, think they are the biggest part of the problem.
So be it, Ralph has destroyed this team. 2 years ago we were ready for big change and then they hire Ralph the useless to destroy the team so below rock bottom.
Ofc its the players now, Ralph destroyed any confidence there was in this team. And they need a new coach, not someone that has been with them since start that also are broken. Interim coach isnt a good solution, it is a plan c.

Do you have any idea what this would do to @MODO Hockey?
He'd likely test the board's ability to embed Peter Griffin GIFs in a single post.
Haha.
Well, my friend. You know me to well

Some people, some people.. jesus christ.
There is actually people that believe that just by fire the coach will make the team start winning againWhy is this ? just becuase you realise that you need to lose weight doesnt make you ripped the day after does it.
Ofc we needed to fire Ralph, worst coach i've ever watched in my adult life. 100 %. He has literally destroyed this team from top to bottom with his lame practices and crap system.
But,
This shi_t will take a long time to heal, and they gonna lose alot of more games this season. But there is light in the tunnel, this org somehow need to
find a coach that can try and push some confidence into these lost souls and then do his best to maintain it until this season is over, then you do some radical changes from top to bottom and start over, once again. For the 11th time in a row....
It is the only way.
