    Bylsma's lines are terrible and he is too loyal to the vet players. When the Sabres gave him a job Pens fans said his biggest flaws as a coach were that his lines sucked and he was too loyal to vets. So, he's consistent. On the flip side the Sabres usually give good effort and have been pretty good about going the full 60 mins most nights. They are also very disciplined far as taking bad penalties.

    Stafford and Myers were the reason the Jets made the playoffs last year. Vanek to the Isles was basically the start of their climb back to a respectable franchise, and Vanek was great in Montreal until their coach stopped using him on the top line. For most habs fans that was a huge signal that they had a major coaching problem. I think all of your examples are giant reaches, aside from Vanek and Poms in Minn. They also have two guys on 100mil contracts though that are bigger targets than Vanek and Poms.

    I just spent the weekend sick and binging on WWII in HD and Vietnam in HD on the HIstory channel. Drafted at 18, average age of an enlisted soldier in Vietnam was 22. Watching that puts age and maturity questions into perceptive quick. 24 is an adult.

    If the Hawks were 28th place in the league, hadn't been to the playoffs in 5 years, and PKane was 210th in the league in scoring instead of 1st, they would have traded him. Not exactly Apples to Apples. And the Bills should absolutely trade McCoy. You don't think they should? The issue with McCoy isn't whether he should be traded or not, it's that he can't be traded. Nobody would touch the guy now. Philly saw it coming and jumped off the bus before it crashed, that's why they traded him before it got to this point. That's what the Sabres have to do with Kane. All the warning signs are there. Jump off the bus. It's only going to get worse and they'll end up getting nothing for him.

    He's not young. And he's already had enough adult problems that if he hasn't learned by now it points to a bigger issue with him. Sabres would be better to get rid of him now before he has a chance to rub off on any of the real youth on the team.

    Kane is not under investigation for sexual assault? That is news to me. Do you have a link about the police calling off the investigation because i missed it.
  7. Bruce Smith
    Can you elaborate? I don't understand your point. Kane was thrown off the team. Kane is currently being investigated for sexual assault.
  8. Bruce Smith
    You would think being thrown off a team and investigated for sexual assault within the past year would be a good enough wake up call. What a dummy. Murray should get out of this mistake ASAP and trade him this deadline. More than enough proof by now that it's not going to get any better.

    Bylsma's fault. Lehner should have been out after the 2nd period.
  10. Bruce Smith
    Worst trade in Sabres history? Yes.
  11. Bruce Smith
    Terrible goal. Lehner needs pulled again.
  12. Bruce Smith
    Not much to argue about. No reason Johnson should be ahead of him.
  13. Bruce Smith
    Get Lehner the hell out of there. Terrible.
  14. Bruce Smith
    Nuts to that. Lehner returned a first while still out from a major concussion. Tim Murray just needs to find another Tim Murray to trade with.

    Not that it's a real question but the answer to the hypothetical is that the Sabres could absolutely use him back. If just for drafting if nothing else. Murray's drafting looks about as impressive as Lowe / Sherro so far. Ruff should have been fired by 2003 at the latest. He was fired in 2013. Simple math, Regier carried Ruff for a minimum of 10 years past his expiration. Last thing you can question about Regier was his loyalty. Loyalty was his A#1 flaw.

    Hit up NHL.com and watch some of the highlights of goals against from games from a few weeks before he was injured. He's in on all the bad ones either being in the wrong place or getting shed. I think he's been terrible since he's been here. I think playing with Risto is the only thing that has shielded his terrible play from a lot of people.

    All things being equal. Gorges' current play isn't better than anyone else. He's makes $4mil though and he cost the Sabres a 2nd rounder, so he gets my vote for worst Dman.
  18. Bruce Smith
    Gorges very clearly the worst if you consider salary, term, and the 2nd rounder it took to get him. Couldn't trade him for a 7th rounder a year later.
