They interviewed me and asked what I wanted. My answer:

Maybe Clever Kevyn can pull his head out of his ass and find an actual honest to God NHL quality goaltender instead of waiting another half decade to develop one.

I wonder how things would've went had we not been working with what was clearly a self imposed deadline to avoid paying that bonus? Had it led to getting one of those other two included as well it would've been the best $7 Million Mr Drill Another Well ever spent.

Imagine the fact that Jason Botterill still has a job in the sport of professional hockey. Of all the inexcusably braindead things he did walking Sam to UFA with "prove it" bridge contracts is quite arguably the absolute worst.

IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!!!! GIRAFFE TRICK!!!!!!!

If Clever Kevyn had actually got off his ass this past off-season and acquired an actual honest to God NHL quality goalie this team would at least be competitive instead of the 3rd worst in the sport.

The only issue I have with this is that Jack himself told them "I want out" before the neck injury. If he hadn't done that I'd be far more sympathetic to him.

Everyone knows the secret to success in the NHL is to constantly get rid of your few NHL quality players for draft picks.

Tage forgives you!!!

Um, Golisano is the single biggest hero in Sabres history regardless of his penny pinching because he quite literally saved the team. If not for him the team would be a distant memory ala the Buffalo Braves.

Historically 10% of STH are from Canada each season. If season seats are capped at 15k that would be 1,500. The reason the team is struggling is that they are right now the single worst organization in the modern history of the sport. If the Sabres were a playoff team right now the place would be full regardless of the border issues or the now clearly pointless vax mandates.

THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL OWNER IN THE ENTIRE FREAKING LEAGUE IS FROM BUFFALO.

The team will not be sold to anyone who does not explicitly agree they will under no circumstances relocate them. Also who is the most powerful owner in the entire league and where is he from? Yeah, exactly. And the two teams you mentioned moved because the league wanted them to move and Atlanta literally got kicked out of their arena and there was no choice but to allow a sale/relocation.

I don't think you understand who or what you are dealing with regarding Bettman and the other owners: They are literally going to allow a team to play in a 5,000 seat college rink for the next 4-5 years while a potential deal is worked out rather than allow relocation.

Unfortunately by the look of the "crowds" at Key Bank Center it appears as if hockey fans throughout WNY have taken that advice.

Why are you posting something from what is obviously a fake Twitter accou.... (Sees blue checkmark) Oh my God.

That is all.

How many times is it going to take to teach NHL GM's that drafting guys based on a junior tournament performance is almost always a real bad idea?

I would hope he signs right after his season ends given that this is his junior year so if he doesn't we just got Fox'ed.

Well I mean he IS the reason they ended up with Zegras.

It still amazes me that our allegedly savvy and sophisticated fanbase shits all over Dahlin when anyone smarter than a brain damaged cocker spaniel can see the biggest issue is playing on a team that was deliberately constructed to be totally uncompetitive and lose as many games as possible.

Seriously.
