    Yuck. If that's true, Skinner's gone for sure. Who would want to be a part of such a sad-sack organization when so many better options will present themselves?

    Not so sure about many better options.  Skinner must realize that a good part of his goal scoring opportunities come from playing with Eichel. 

    So Buffalo provides these benefits:

    1.   Eichel, plus solid NHL players like Rienhart and Risto that are already signed. 

    2.   Real hockey town with fans who voted him into the all star game despite the smaller market size (he knows this and likes it) 

    3.   youth coming up and gain NHL experience in Mitts, Tage, Dahlin, Pilut, and Uhlmark - plus maybe some NHL talent in Nylander and Guhle and the Finn Goalie

    4.  JBOT - gaining respect around the league, very smart guy, and I think he knows how to communicate the plan to Skinner

    5.  Pegulas - ?  well,  uhmmm, uh - they are generous and kind people and  Kim is the prettiest owner in league.

    6.  Close to his hometown and family.

    If I'm Terry, I'm wondering about the lack of response from his GM and coach as a very promising season has started to circle the toilet.

    JBot said Terry is aware of the teams needs and the strategy.  They communicate.  He said this when he implied he will not overpay and reach to get players.  He prefers to devolop our own, which takes time.

    Seasons ebb and flow.  I think it's good for the Sabres to be on the playoff line.  Builds mental toughness.  I hate it as a fan, but I think it will help in the long run.  Got to keep perspective.

    Look at the roster.  On a good night we are better than Montreal and Carolina  

    Can we beat any of them in a 7 game series?   I’m not sure we can.  Heck, not sure we can beat Florida and Detroit in a series   Mental and physical toughness.  

     

    We are a work in progress.  Still hanging on to the 8th spot for now.

    They've really struggled to overcome Carolina's forechecking tonight. There hasn't been much room to move. Another game where you really need the PP to come up big but we still have no idea how to do those. 

    Carolina has been the better team. Faster, more hits, tenacious play ... yes they had some major puck luck but they have slowed us down and kept us frustrated.
