Maybe no one else wants the job?

Can’t this also be said about Power? Samuelsson, Clifton etc….

They are trading the wrong player, but they couldn’t keep both Power and Byram. Oh well. Now what can we get for him?

That’s the million $ question isn’t it. Is it because he thinks he knows something about hockey? It is because the NFL guarantees him a profit so he can afford to be more hands off? It is because the NHL lead him down the incorrect path to start and he feels the need to go it alone? No idea. I just know he has run this franchise into the ground.

Your question was too limiting. No one knows what the value of the pick is until you see what the offers are. However, the Sabres need to re-think how they do everything and that includes piling up picks and prospects like cord wood. Adams traded former 9th overall pick Matt Savoie for McLeod and McLeod turned out to be a solid two way middle six center with more offensive upside than he was given credit for. If we can get a middle six center for a former 9th pick, is it to far our of the realm of possibility that we could get a solid stay at home D to pair with Power?

Sure why not.

To answer my OP question, I’m just about done. If they don’t make major moves to fix the roster and management, I’m done.

Rigged against Buffalo

Because he does what Terry tells him to do. This is the classic yes man. Competency doesn’t matter.

Because we need change. We can't just keep doing what we have been doing and expect a different result. Any player we draft 9th isn't making an impact in the NHL for at least 2-3 years. That's a useless asset as far as I'm concerned. Find a cap strapped team with a crappy talent pool and trade them the 9th pick for an NHL player that helps us make the Sabres better. If they 9th pick isn't enough to get the right player, than add other assets, but get something done.

Package the pick with Byram and get some NHL assets like a goalie and top 4 D. If we end up taking someone, get the Bear or trade up to get Martone.

G-d I hate being right. NHL rigged as usual.

There is also evidence that he’s terrible defensively and may never be good defensively.

At least he’s close to NHL ready.

That's a stupid contract.

Sovereignty, the horse that won the Derby, also has triple crown winners Seattle Slew and Affirmed. Of course, for racing fans, he also has Mr. Prospector in his line.

By the way, all the horses in the Derby field are descendants from this horse.

Being on the infield for the Derby is a bucket list thing. It's like sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley or being in Assembly Hall (or Rupp Arena or Cameron) for a college basketball game.

It was rigged. With the 9th pick in the draft, the Buffalo Sabres select......

Two more concerts going this summer. Goo Goo Dolls for the 4th time and Simple Minds for the 1st time. Alison Krauss was great until sadly the rain came and washed away the 2nd half of our show.

Power played a fair amount with Dahlin last season. It was the Sabres 10th most common D pairing (out of 40) during the season and Power's 4th most frequent partner. They were good together (not surprising), but Power was lousy with everyone else until JBD.

Is it at State Farm?

It is with Jerry Douglas and Union Station. I’ve seen them before with Tony Rice. Also have seen Alison with Robert Plant. She’s great.

Heading to Allison Krauss tonight. Then off to see a Cure cover band tomorrow in Athens gA
