This is a great and informative post, thank you. With what your seeing information wise in so far as you've dug up to date, can you point to a player personnel problem, such as hesitancy or lack of vision on the ice or coaching? Curious as to your take.

Very sad to see it come to this. The 80's weren't a picnic some years but I never questioned the team's desire to be competitive, not like now anyways. What is the solution? As a life long fan I honestly don't have the slightest idea. Something is seriously wrong here. The team literally shouldn't keep having these competitive fire breakdowns, and yet, it appears to be an every season event. New players? Same problem. Youth movement? Same problem. Management and coaching changes? Same problem. Something is very seriously wrong with this picture. And what's really disappointing is that I saw it in Eichels post game tonight.

Try looking in the wood shed out back, we need a wood splitter. Oh, and don't go burning down Sheryl's she shed like last time please. K, thanks.

While JG is a talented player, is that listing of 5'9", 170lbs on capfriendly accurate? If so.....yikes and no thanks. I'd like to see some Andreychuk net front presence size and skill is all.

I'm just saying.......

Must Win!

I hope for his families sake he just stays on LTIR. I don't mind Kyle on the team but I just feel his health is overwhelmingly more important than money. The Pegulas are exactly the type of owners that would care for their "family". Not to say others aren't but Kyle's in good hands I surmise.

I agree. A lot of cap freed up following this season. It should be interesting to see where it's allocated.

6 mil x 7 or 8 ?

It's a long season, there could be a couple moves in the next month or so that help.

Dahlin. He cut across the ice. Watch the replay. Even Ray saw it.

Sadly, true.

Can't wait for Ralph's prototypical post gamer. "The boys battled back. We have some things to work on. See you next game."

I think the Pegulas are putting saltpeter in the players lunches

They'd only fall off upon his plane touching down in Western New York. Or worse, get stuck to the ice.

But would you share, like Vesey?

Thank you. More than I thought. Not sure what the issue is then. Coaching change, same results, player change ups, same results. Something isn't jiving here.

I'm not on a crusade mind you, because I do like some of his play. But if I was to be completely honest with myself, which I am, 10 million a season for this guy? No thanks. He'd make a decent 2nd line center though, at least in my dream of a competitive team. My take? Find a sucker, drain them for everything you can to right the ship here. Shaves that money off the cap and move on from it.

I actually agree with this,

Buffalo players are definitely bad.

Well, pretty much the same roster as last season save what? 3, 4 players? The definition of insanity.

Could be. I know there was talk of them wanting Eichel badly his seat year and the year after.

Boston would love him. The whole local boy thing and their star centers are aging into the mid 30's rapidly. Buffalo needs goal scoring, along with tenacity. Pastrnak and Coyle for Eichel? I'd pull that trigger, Pastrnak is a beast on the puck.

Maybe I had it backwards, 6 - 1 Carolina?

Sabres win tonight, biggly! 6 - 1 Go Sabres!
