You're on. If the Sabres can mend fences with Eichel and Reinhart and can get Ullmark-quality goaltending consistently this year, then they will make the playoffs.

Maybe Skinner is starting to mature as a person because of circumstances and becomes a leader?

I think what @oglethorp is arguing, which I agree with, is that no one will offer their top prospects for Eichel because they are what the GM wants to add to, not replace. We need to replace Eichel and therefore need quality back which they may not give unless it largely comprises of 2nd tier prospects and other futures.

Timing is everything.

The management team will politely listen to Terry Pegula and draft whoever they want. They will not be fired. Terry will respect their independence of thought.

What fool would offer a 1st rounder for someone with as bad metrics as Ristolainen?

As well as he has played when healthy, this is hard to debate except to add that he has been backstopping a truly atrocious team. Maybe the workload is part of the problem.

So what is our list as of now? F- Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Asplund, Mittlestadt, Thompson, Bjork D - Dahlin, Borgen, Jokiharu G - Who?

I have definitely read what PTR had. It is on a board of purported Buffalo Sabres fans. But given that GMKA hired HCDG, was listening to calls on Jack Eichel, is listening to calls on Sam Reinhart, and/or apparently isn't in on Ristolainen being a great defencemen, people have been expressing sentiments questioning GMKA's IQ, desire to improve the team, or otherwise impugning his character. Apparently, the first straw of hiring HCDG was the one which broke the camel's back and now it's "Dogpile on the GM." To be honest, @PromoTheRobot typed what I was going to type. I'm a born pessimist, but even I can't stand that much negativity.

I want to know who the yahoos were who sold them on tanking rather than a customary rebuild.

Thank you very much, Brent. Now, law enforcement, see if this is true. If so, then how much. And then punish appropriately.

Eichel AND Reinhart? What on Earth does that package look like?

Unlike most rumours from that site, this idea is plausible.

Toronto -- negotiating. Buffalo -- breaking down.

Welcome to the board.

Hfboards trade area. I think that someone here mentioned it too.

I definitely saw someone say the Ducks were offering (Zegras || 3OA) while GMKA is insisting on (Zegras && 3OA).

Could someone post, "Thank you, Sabres"? Preferably from 19:32-20:00.

"Louis, this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Nah. They'll just lie about injuries again next year and then suddenly everyone will be healthy in the playoffs.

FYI: you are not the only person I have heard say this. Everyone else agrees on 1975 and 1980.

Same here. I was at the game.
