    I wouldn't trade Risto either but the biggest issue I have with him is he obviously went to the Josh Gorges school of passing the puck, ping... 3 feet behind the guy, ping.... into the guys skates, ping..... 5 feet in front of the guy for an icing call. The guy kills more breakouts than a prison guard.

    He have 31 assists) Even with our lame score..

    My prediction:

    Sabres will be buyers at the deadline. Beaulieu and Nylander plus a couple more are the bait. KO’s injury saves him from being traded. JBott is likely not happy about Scandella’s injury because I think he is/was on the block. I also think a first round pick is on the block as well. JBott is going after a 2C first and foremost. If he gets it this will be the first inflated contract he gives this offseason.

    FL1 and FL4 are good to go leaving the middle six. FL3 with Smith-ERod-TT is fine for this year. This leaves FL2. JBott’s vision:

    Mitts-New Guy-Sam

    GMs Intent: Get to the playoffs this year expecting a round 1 loss. Appease the fans and ownership to buy more confidence. Offseason includes a turnover on D except Risto, Dahlin and McCabe. Sobotka, KO, Scandella, and Bogo are moved for veteran players who can still play while changing some attitudes. Next year’s goal is round 1 but capable of 2, no Cup expectations.

    Following season we see the real Buffalo Sabres. Young core are now veterans with experience in winning and playoffs. No excuses. Two years of drafts and trades restocks the Amerks and we become a franchise who develops NHL players, not trading for them. 

    Next Few Years:

    Do not be surprised if Sam is moved and offers for Jack are made. Dahlin is the franchise player, not Jack. This doesn’t mean I want him moved unless the price is perfect. Risto will be the D anchor and stays but gets second pair minutes. Hutton gets moved for a short term back up and pick. Ullmark is the man.

    If Jack is moved Skinner becomes C, Dahlin and 2C get the A. Our additions lead to heavy bodies increasing physical play which leads to puck control in the OZone limiting the need for all our attack rushes and odd man opportunities. Bigger bodies on the PP bring it back to where it needs to be. Memes of Leaf fans crying dominate the internet.

    Not bad future. We need someone who can score and make good  passes to FL2. Someone like Nugent-Hopkins in Edmonton.

    Sounds like me in St Louis.  Never saw in win in over 20 years.  

    This team gets into slumps that are legendary and continue no matter the coach /GM.  

    Excellent second post.  I hope your correct.  

     Did you see our schedule after Florida?

    Yes. I saw it unfortunately. But I also saw how many defeats in Philadelphia were before their series of victories. This is hockey ...

    Welcome!!

    I am just venting about the lack of effort by the players who have clearly given up on the season and themselves.  That said, the first half was not a true reflection, but it did show what can happen if the players give better effort and lady luck smiles on them.

    Sent you a beer.

    I agree with this. Thanks for the beer?
