Is he gone yet?

Must Win! Go Sabres!!!

I don't see any official updates on this rumor, is there still a feeling of a green light for cleaning house at seasons end?

I grew up on so many of these shows. It's seems a life time ago now. I miss the days of going out on my bike, no phones, no social media, just you and your friends. 40 yrs ago for me I was 10, I miss those days, even though technology allows us to speak with one another on a broader scale. We covet what we know so they say. And on that note, it looks like Eichel is channeling his inner Schultz and saying "I know nothing, I see nothing Hogan". ?

You ever been in combat? Ever have your adrenaline pumping your heart so hard you can feel the pounding on your chest above all else, all while pushing forward, door to door, expecting to die with each passing second, hoping you don't, while continuing to push forward, door to door, and this goes on for hours and hours and hours, hustling to push your hand in to your friends gut, literally in to his gut as his bowels lay open from one of a 100 of just that days event? To even suggest that nothing compares to what these players go through is baffling, to some of us. And their audience, is that some of us, just a reminder.

I'm reserving my funniest moment for when someone throw's a rubber ***** on the ice during game play. Should have happened 7, 8 seasons ago. Disappointed in my fellow Sabres fanatics for not doing it yet.

Feel for some of the players if indeed it is the fans forcing his hand to such actions.

It's the Ranch dressing. I've yet to hear a player on the roster outside of Eichel answer blue cheese when asked to choose for chicken wings. It's what worries me about Dahlin, he answered Ranch when asked. It's definitely Ranch dressing. That is the crux of what's wrong with Dad. Thankfully there is a solution. I happen to hold a "How To" class specifically for proper Buffalo Wings consumption, and, for a modest fee would highly encourage all Sabres organization, including the owners, to attend my $1000 a class, 3 classes a week, 27 week course. All they have to bring is their own bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce and their appetites. This will fix everything, after all, I offer a 49% guarantee. ?

So, how bout them Sabres……………….

We should seriously consider trading both Eichel and Reinhart. Seriously. Start the rebuild over. Out golden children don't have that "killer instinct" to raise this team.

Not even close. Say hello to Bobby Hull.

Years of this type of statement. ROR, Kane, Lehner, and still, the same result. When is enough enough of the excuse making. When is it time to face the reality that it's not JUST THE PLAYERS? It's not only on Ralph, but Jason and Terry as well.

Johansson shouldn't be put in this position of failure to begin with.

Many of you may hate Ted Nolan, but he wouldn't have this team playing this type of garbage hockey. The General Manager picks and assembles the roster, the coach gets the roster to play the way they do. Both have been complete failures here in Buffalo, and I don't give a rats ass what anyone says, that is the bottom line truth.

Perhaps, but the call has been made, the goal has been scored.

Meh, Win, Lose, draft positioning, winning culture, none of it matters at this time if a large portion of the roster is going to be turned over. I'd like them to win, apparently they'd like to lose. You say tomato, the team says tomato.

What difference does it make with the season over. May as well play as many combinations as possible.

Good Goal

Or, it could be Cuban, Indonesian, Pakistani, Iranian, British, French, German, American Samoan, Burmese, Chinese, South African, Simolean, Lybian, Lebanese, Israelis', Palestinian, Latvian, Finnish, Swedish, Panamanian or Nigerian. ?

Judging by Cozens size, weight and just overall ability to dominate in the WHL combined with his birthdate (Feb.) impacting his ability to join the AHL due to the CHL/NHL current contract, I don't see the Sabres keeping him in the WHL next season. Which of course leaves only one option, to the NHL roster, which, personally, I feel would be a massive mistake. I could be wrong, but as of now, listening to Botterill on WGR right now, I see the organization opening up the potential of destroying another young talent.

Well, it is a somewhat perplexing subject, fan based payments to players as opposed to from the owner. I won't discount it completely, no matter how small the percentage is that it's the organization. It's entertaining, hell, more than the games recently lol. With that being said...………. I'll allow it ?

In all fairness, the initial OP doesn't look to ownership for additional salary. I believe it was a fan base bonus incentive program.

I'm inclined to give you the benefit of the keystroke mistakes for the forum member masses. But, given your subject matter combined with what you would attempt to brush of as a "Typo/Autocorrect", I'm not buying it. There is always a method to the madness as the ole' saying goes. You point out some industry specific hazards, and are willing to engage conversation even though the popcorn machine is struggling to keep up. I would surmise your either industry connected or one hell of a troller (at least to this forum, which is a Sabres fan base forum who's members are overwhelmingly disgruntled at the current set of circumstances). If it's the former, your more than welcome to your anonymity, if it's the latter you've definitely created entertainment where the current local NHL organization has failed. In either case, my hats off to you for distracting "Us Fans" from the bleakness of what we've had to deal with in this market for more than a number of seasons now.

I get it from your post below. You eluded to being a player by the bolded word you utilized in the statement below. If I'm mistaken, my humblest of apologies.

I do have a question for you, off topic for a moment. I don't know at what level you achieved, AHL, NHL, but this is a rare moment for us fans in general to ask direct questions, so I hope you don't mind. When you as a player join an organization, either via trade or signing or drafted, do you look at the strategies attempting to be implemented by the existing management team? And if so, do you guys talk amongst yourselves about the outcome of those strategies? If you respond, thank you in advance.
