    This is factual and accurate. 

    Pilut, on the other hand, is crap. Picking up Reilly, instead of using Pilut, might have won us a few more games and if we miss the playoffs by say 2-3 points, that lack of D depth will ultimately have been what sunk us. 

    (Now before you start, I'm not suggesting Reilly is great, just much better than Pilut (or Bryson for that matter))

    I think LGR just gave us our answer, Perreault 

    Now where's that ignore button

  2. The Sabres will finish with 39 wins and miss the playoffs, narrowly 

    Tage will not get 50 goals 

    Goaltending will remain the same and probably get worse 

    Adams might do something 

    The Cozens line will regress, but not by much. No one on that line gets above 60 points 

    Dahlin won't get 20 goals 

    Skinner gets to 40 goals, again 

    I have a tough time seeing this team get the final wild card spot with the Rangers and Penguins already in those spots. Both teams have far better goaltending, systems and overall experience. Not to mention the few teams still ahead of us 

    Next year should be playoffs. If not, they're all fired

    I questioned the extension as well. I'm not convinced Granato deserved it, but we shall see, There's no question he's better than Kreuger, but that bar is very very low. 

    I think you ride out the extension at this point unless the team implodes 

    I was never a fan of firing coaches after 1 or 2 years. How does that build team chemistry/philosophy/identity? 

    I mean, was Bylsma really THAT bad? We were in Eichels 2nd year with a drunk as our starting goalie. How was that enough time to evaluate a coach? 

    Ralph absolutely had to go though that was blatantly obvious

    JBot also brought Granato to Buffalo. One could argue Adams promoting him was a safe move and/or a fail in hiring an experienced NHL coach at the time. 

    I'm not upset at all about how Granatos been coaching but when he signed his extension, I thought we could have done better.

    Obviously Granato had a substantial affect on several players including TNT and Dahlin and gave them the kind of direction that allowed them to blossom. It sounds as if you are admitting that DG took what appeared to be mediocre players and turned them into highly skilled guys that are presently leading the league in goals scored.

    Can you remind me. Who traded Risto and got the 14 overall pick for him? 

    That was a great trade but hardly proven. We took Rosen who remind me what has he done in the NHL?
