He made one wise ass comment and the thin skinned, ever suffering Buffalonian's will never get over it. Buffalo still upset over blizzard of 77 jokes.

It's kinda ridiculous to think that a player missing a year of hockey, having a risky neck surgery was expected to be the savior of a team, joining them after the new year. He played mostly well and then hit a wall the last bunch of games, not totally unexpected. The team was inconsistent before he suited up, and not much changed after. Lot of key injuries all season.

How would anyone not realize that if they've been watching games?

yeah, but look at how much we paid KO over the years with very little production. I'd say overall, Hall has been better value. KO has had one of the worst contracts in Sabres history, fortunately, we are finally getting something from it.

3.) sign him this summer , it will help reach the cap floor if necessary. Show of good faith to the rest of the team. No idea how much , how long. Might as well get him to age 30.

Portillo's rights are not worth much unless he agrees ahead of time that he will sign with the team that trades for him. And why would Winnipeg trade hellebuyck?

Leafs fans should be excited, Matthews' amazing shot reminds me what an incredible shot Bossy had. Natural goal scorers, both of them.

He just posted a picture of Brett Hull scoring. He's such a loser.

He's already crying... Leafs play down to their opponents level....

and we lost a third doing that. it was a dumb move.

Would you trade for someone that will be a UFA before he ever plays for your team?

are you downplaying Kane's very good season because his linemates are playing well?

I doubt he's close to washed up, statistically, he's having one of his best seasons this year.

Hopefully things are better in the future, but how many players have spent a decade on the Sabres ?

What do you think?

possibly, but i guess that would be like trading a player with a NMC, lowers our leverage to about zero.

Tim Murray is no longer a GM, not sure if any of the current ones would trade assets for basically a UFA.

Have we heard anything specifically from Portillo? any mention of " I'll sign after next season."

One can be a Sabres fan and still respect someones decision to stay in college. Usually fans complain about greedy athletes, now some complain when they delay a nice contract to continue in school. This is why athletes shouldn't listen to fans and only to close friends and family.

Are you just here to ask stupid questions?

God forbid someone goes to college and plans his career path on how he would prefer it to go.

You were the first and the best.

Yep, no idea what she said at all last night. She could have been great, I'll never know.

Darcy was our most successful GM since Punch. To single him out for the teams failures is ridiculous. To say he allowed losing to be acceptable is an absurd statement. We never had consistent, high expectations and results with any other GM. He told it to us straight, Golisano wasn't going to spend what was needed for a quick fix, he knew that and he said that. Not his fault.

I'm not advocating a trade , I like VO a lot, my point was that we need to get a upper level goalie for next season and might need to trade some quality for quality.
