Perhaps Rob Ray wasn't the only one who depended on Matt Ellis for the 'inside scoop'?

A thumbs up for the second line. Only because there's not a way to give it three thumbs up.

Not for nothin' but can anyone recall a coach, in any major sports league, ever being fired before a contract extension even starts?

Devil you know and devil you don't perhaps? (Not a reference to any unemployed former Sabre HC).

Joe Brady was a big part of that after he became OC. I fell Brady was no fan of Diggs after being on the sideline with him for a couple seasons.

Fixed.

This is where the Sabres typically allow the flood gates to open.

Remember that we are entering the homestretch where purposeful lies and false character assassinations are being shelled out in buckets. The 'insiders' and 'experts' are tools of the organizations. BTW, have you heard that Malik Nabors has a coke problem and beat the the children of his handicapped neighbor? (Drop baby, drop).

I was going to type something really snarky, like "the NHL regular season continues for 138 more days after Buffalo is done". But I won't.

Last one. The angst will be over for a while. But will we miss them when they're gone? Be honest.

I would too @Sabres Fan in NS. For a few reasons a trade to Buffalo wouldn't happen though. But we desperately need a guy like this. I was watching the Flames/Yotes game last night. Never knew much about him other than he was a piece of that big trade. Then I saw him manhandle a guy out from the crease (and a pretty effective shove after the whistle). Later he was defending an oncoming rush high in his own zone. No retreat and stick swing defense like the Sabres play in that situation. Stepped up, took the body, and knocked the Yote on his ass. Can score too. Looked up his contract status and saw the linked article.

Pay what you must, make the trade, and get this guy. Older? Yes. A tad bit pricey? Yes. Byram +. A guy can dream. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/flames-mackenzie-weegar-sends-powerful-message-with-commitment-to-stay/

I think he was a key figure in the emergence of the LIV Tour. Not as a player.

Agree with all of this. And it is what I find particularly frustrating. We need to, and have needed to, shore up the bottom 6 with players of the type that are absent in the organization at the present. Especially with CM gone. KA, with the assets / cap space available to him, can’t seem to upgrade the bottom 6? (Or doesn’t see the need to). It’s not like the Sabres are trying to find a 1C.

.979? That’s ridiculous. And clutch.
