    I still think that Samson is growing into a real leader on this team and in the room.  He doesn't need to wear a letter for that.

     

    The impression I get is that Reinhart is Eichel's silent lieutenant/lackey. Eichel is the vocal rallier of the troops while Reinhart does the behind-the-scenes stuff like getting pucks for guys' milestones, picking up Eich's laundry, etc.

    Frankly I think posts on here add a great deal to the negativity. Understandably we have not been successful as a team but hashing it over and over just makes it even worst. So, I have an idea. Have PA purchase the team as his critique of ownership is so concise. As GM maybe he could hire TruBlue and head of scouting I would vote for Flagg. I'm sure they have a good two year plan that would release us from this bondage of despair.

    TruBlue would trade Skinner to the Loafs for a 7th rounder and the rights to Roger Clemens. And frankly, he should be fired immediately for that.

    I'm surprised that the Sabres sit only has these for eichel. I already have eichel in blue and really wanted someone dahlin. 

    I wish that I had bought dahlin in blue and I would have been fine with eichel on the 50th. I just dont want 2 of the same 

    Meh

    I got a Dahlin one (that I love BTW) from the Sabres store. They had goldens for Skinner, Mittlestadt, I believe Johansson and a couple of others.

    Casey was better than his first game, although this thread might not make you think so. He completed passes this time, hustled and paid attention to defence, and popped a nice backhand off the crossbar after bursting around the D on a rush. He was out against 34 most of the night and was outclassed. But he looked like an NHL player. Just not a 2C.

    The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Casey playing on the wing and Cozens being the 2C of the future.

    Something like:

    Skinner-Eichel-Johannson

    Mitts-Cozens-Reinhart

    Oloffson-Rodrigues-Vesey

    Girgensons-Larsson-Okposo

    Yeah, I can live with this.

    The reason it was only 17 games of Kane was because fatter Pugsley decided to stick to his ridiculous demand of 4 pieces including a first for Kane for 5 months or so. He didn't even get his price anyway and he was fortunate that the conditional first came to fruition with the Sharks extending him. Once he knew he wasn't going to extend him (likely before the season even started) he should have traded him then. 82 games of Kane likely would have netted a better price than 17 games of him. More teams likely would have held interest as well given that come deadline time only teams battling for playoff spots are looking to acquire rentals.

    I think the trade ended up as Kane and Guhle for Montour and scraps (a 4th and Danny O'Reagan).

    Try "Big Dumm DooDooHead." That tested really when in my focus group.

  20. Tim Murray was a complete disaster for the Buffalo Sabres

    in The Aud Club

    Let's make a few things clear:

    1. Tim Murray, in retrospect, was awful at his job. Yes I bought into the hype too. I'm as guility as anyone else. But there's a reason he hasn't even come up in rumors for GM openings (Bylsma got some murmurings for HC jobs this year, just as a reference)
    2. Reinhart's a very good player. Probably not the 2nd best from that draft as @GASabresIUFAN mentioned, but I certainly don't mind having him on my team.
    3. He drafted Jack Eichel. Yay. Good for him. He didn't accidentally say "Dylan Strome" at the podium. (Yes same credit for JBot with Dahlin.)
    4. When Lehner wrote his tell-all about his rock bottom and recovery, he only had good things to say about JBot and his role in helping him move forward. No mention of the guy who scouted him for OTT and brought him here.
    5. He overpaid in trades. While I consider the trade with WPG to a small wash in WPG's favor, did he really need to thrown in a 1st AND Armia for Kane and Bogo? Compared to JBOT who just needed 2nd/3rd/6th rounders in different drafts and a prospect with a funny name to get Skinner. Had Murray made that trade, I imagine Buffalo would have given up (I exaggerate some parts, but you get the idea):
      1. Sam Reinhart
      2. 1st rounder (not lotto protected)
      3. Evan Rodrigues
      4. UPL
      5. Devante Stephens
      6. a 3rd rounder in 2030
      7. Sabretooth's urine sample
      8. the Rights to Ron Guidry
    6. And here's the one I'll go down with the ship for: Ryan O'Reilly. The GOAT-head. Mr. Sabre. He got lucky this year. He got paired with other players who could carry the load for him and a coaching change. He's not a franchise player. He's a very good player who wins faceoffs and score points, but he's not someone to build the team around or be a veteran safety net. That's what was expected when Murray traded for him. O'Reilly failed miserably in those regards. No I don't like the return of Berglund or Sobotka, but anyone who thinks ROR would have been the difference maker this year is delusional. In fact, I'm willing to bet they would have done even worse this year with Captain Eeyore in the room. For all of the pain and suffering this team went through this year, you didn't hear rumblings of locker room tension and disfunction that you did when ROR and Lehner were in town. Coincidence? I think not.
    7. (This is the actor Ho-Chi-Sock who plays Ho-Chi-Sock on SabreSpace speaking): While I can understand some of the trepidation with JBott, I support him. I think he has the right idea when it comes to roster building. I like most of his moves and can see he has a very results-oriented mindset and willing to take responsibility for any miscues. He just has the misfortune of working for a team with a very impatient and passioniate fanbase.
    8. GMTM and his outspokenness: He's like the "cool boss" you have in your 20s. The one who lets you wear beer shirts to work and has a fooseball table in the office. It seems all well good at first, and then you think twice about his comments about your female clients, and notice that the company keeps losing money and your paycheck has taken a hit as a result. Then you realize "Hey this guy's not very good at his job." That's how I am with Murray. Maybe he'll get a 2nd chance but I'm not holding my breath.
