This thread keeps providing reasons to NOT trade for this guy. First it’s his performance that is falling, then it’s relationships, next he is considered a soft player, plus he has a huge contract, and now he has a chronic knee injury that takes away speed. No on acquiring this guy. The Sabres cannot afford to blow trades involving their better assets. They just cannot ship out guys like Byram, or even Cozens, for a hope and a prayer. If this guys fades away we are stuck with another bad contract. This guy is Jeff Skinner with a bad knee. No Pettersson please.

We loved Tenor Joe in my neighborhood. My friend had a backyard ice rink that we all chipped in to help take care of. Over the years the rink got more elaborate with spotlights, boards, and batting cage netting to keep the pucks in play. The garage was near the rink and I rigged up a little sound system. Prior to games we pumped out a cassette recording of Tenor Joe singing the Canadian and US Anthems from a speaker in the garage window. I took my portable cassette recorder into the Aud and captured the songs live.

Is he the right 1C? Pressure in Vancouver to perform, new big contract, results drop significantly. Does this sound familiar?

I agree. If this team is going to get good then Thompson and Dahlin have to make it happen.

I don't think Terry Pegula is in the same category as Dan Synder. I think he is a decent man that is well intended. I just want more effort to find someone that has the leadership and the NHL hockey know-how to restore the franchise, just like he did with the Bills. The Sabres need a top down cleansing. Until then I wont go to hockey games, and it pains me to have to do that.

Glad you saw it because I posted that picture for you. You can see a young RJ, the start of a HoF career. Gilles Villemure, Guy Trottier, Dennis Hextall were all good NHL players. Allen Hamilton (top row) played for the Bisons in 69-70 and for the Sabres the very next season - Always a good party trivia question. Frank Christie was retained by the Knoxes, and Freddie Hunt was retained in the front office.

The last Buffalo Professional Ice Hockey Champions.

I know the Bruins are not good, and they were very bad last night. Yet they are over .500 and 13 points ahead of Buffalo. The Sabres are 10 points behind the closest division teams. 13 losses in row is mind boggling.

You are a excellent poster but the sentences in bold not true. We lost a playoff game at home to KC just last season, and we lost a playoff game to Cinci the year before. The #1 seed will help, but you still have to play the games. Across the board in all facets the Bills brought their B game. There were some calls that hurt them but they did not make enough of the plays that were there.

Last year it was the Jets. The year prior it was Miami. They don't need major changes, they need a few pieces. A WR1 and an impact playmaker on defense.

The season is a lost cause. Trying to win every night should be a given, and I don't believe in any other way. Always try to improve the team and win games. The fact that this GM could be safe for another season kills all of my urges to play "what if" with trade proposals and roster options. I don't want him trading big pieces. I want real change and I want a proven NHL Exec with a winning pedigree running things for a change. I have a trip planned to Buffalo, we have a family event and I added Super Bowl weekend to the trip in anticipation of something great happening. Cant wait to get down to Florida afterwards. Time to move on ....

You see the Sabres play a game like this and it makes you wonder how they could lose 13 straight. I mean they had a big home stand off of a west coast sweep and were sitting in 3rd in the division. Fourteen years … Oh well. I’m having a tough time dealing with another wasted hockey season on top of another AFCCG loss to KC.

It was a PA masterpiece though.

That was a good game. I needed that.

UPL’s glove provides the coup de grace I’m entertained!

JJP wanted that hatty

way to answer. No passive Alamo please.

Terrible powerplay zone entry and we take a penalty. SMH

He is not the problem. Thompson will score a ton of goals in the correct situation.

Nice hatty for Tage.

Benson will be a middle 6 winger in time. Still a puppy growing and learning.

You get to live in a cool town.

That was a fortunate period. We won it 2-0 but UPL was called on too bail them a lot. They better play an aggressive 3rd period and go get the next goal. Stop the Alamo style of play. That means you Lindy.

Wake up Sabres. End the period with a PPG.

That was pretty bad play after the PK. Good to get the whistle UPL.
