Well, I'll be waiting for the annual Botterill end of season tantrum. Then shuffle off Risto to "change the culture". This team is more than 2 or 3 pieces from competing.

That's subjective, each fan expects something different or variations.

No actually, it's not to be honest. The fans are the customers, expecting a positive experience with a product is not only not unreasonable.......it's actually expected.

To the airport.

We've been building for going on 5 years now. It's not unreasonable for fans to expect results.

Rob Ray: "This game is far from over" What a joke.

Completely shitting the bed tonight, in every facet of the game. Embarrassing.

The free fall is a bad dose of reality. This team needs more than just an off season and couple of additions. There is no grit. They need heart and soul players.

Fast heading for a lottery pick I see.

Absolutely...……...Her agent is the real decision maker ?

Maybe Jack offer sheets her ?

I expect 10 to 12 without my daughter's hand, 7 to 8.4 with it, depending on her dedication to physical fitness. It's only fair as a Sabres fanatic to expect a big dowry (as in a Big Silver Cup) isn't it?

Talked with my "SUPER SECRET NOT ON TWITTER SOURCE", She says "The Legend of Skinner WILL Grow Tonight". I am overly concerned at what I've started, my 14 yr old daughter has a HUGE crush on Skinner, and she said that to mom and me just after dinner tonight...………….I love Skinner and all, but I'll break legs...……….IF...………...he doesn't wait 4 yrs until she's 18 and marries her ?

Hopefully both? ?

The Curse of the 80's Dynasty is alive and real. I truly believe that anyone that touches that organization will draw the ire of the curse on to them. Breaking up that 80's Dynasty was the worst mistake I'd ever seen in my 50 years, and it ruined the Oilers. The Teflon Nuge?

The bolded is the one that really interest me. I know it's not feasible, but ya, Draisaitl, Seguin these are the type of players that really, really...………...really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really interest me.

"Environment" "Atmosphere" "...………………..Culture"

Aren't they all? ?

Not a bad idea actually. Tell Skins to go enjoy McDavid and a playoff run, then talk with Botterill on 7/1. Send them Skinner, Scandella (they need a solid mid pair LHD with more than the "rental tag) and Okposo (they need a winger better than Lucic) and Bailey or Buffalo 2nd rd pick 2021. Get back Puljujarvi, 1st unprotected and Lucic with 33% retained. Re-sign Skinner in the off season, I'd rather have 4 mil instead of 6 mil for 4 more seasons (Okposo to Lucic variant) and that unprotected 1st. Chiarelli may just be that dumb to except this...…….seriously.

Lehner?

Cogs is 33? Has to be somewhere around there. Wonder why Dallas moved Shore, fans there seemed somewhat high on him.

I like the Buyers market info. But the deadline is well over a month away, even with the all star break, given this teams inability to halt the slide, the deadline may be a bridge to the playoffs to far. I an cautious to though. We are deeper at LHD and RW, Scandella and a small add like Bailey should be able to get a forward that may help a bit. Not a top 6'er, but our 3rd line isn't exactly stellar either. Just kick'en some thoughts around.

This post needs to be enshrined. Fast track rebuilds, trading bubble gum cards and so on, do nothing to under score the Darcy Regier now famous line...………."SUFFERING" more than this post. For all the crap we gave Darcy, he wasn't wrong on this.

Depends on management/ownership. They know better than any of us where the team is at and what the strategy is to get us to where we need to be. Given Pegula's record as owner, I'm not particularly confident in the outcome to date.

He's already here...………………... Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the ONE, the ONLY...……………………………………. Kyle Okposo ?
