I wonder, if all these players saying, I don't want to be here, has anyone asked them why? What is the reason...

I get it, trying to predict the future. I try to look at what the players have done in the past.

Red scores His benchmark skills show low shot blocking, low percent of shots on goal/shooting percentage, doesn't take penalties, battling skills are low, goals for is low, and has a high percentage of giveaways in the offensive zone. Defensively has high percentages of goals against (in a positive way) when on the ice, and a high Corsi rating.

It appears to be a change in direction from his original plan. Creating a pile of prospects with goal scoring in mind, switch to today/last year - getting players who are hard to play against and a bit tougher. (Problem - you need D and a goalie and better centermen, pretty weak down the middle.) Possibly another year or two of no playoffs, especially with KA's speed of making changes. Crystal ball - another 5 years goes by, other teams get good and creative with their rosters, and KA changes plan again to follow the trend... Rinse Repeat

Not sure he is a 2nd line D man and not sure on Doan as a 3rd line player. I hope it turns out differently and both play important minutes to push the team into the playoffs.

He can play on a line with Doan.

Trade a top line player in return for a 3rd line defenseman and 4th line player. It is hard to find good players in any professional sport. Buffalo traded a good player.

The one I like the best - “… But our focus remains the same: how do we help our team get better?” Simple fire your arse.

I hope it does, however history is not our side.

Sabres lost to Florida who won the Stanley Cup!!

Internet mentioned Jarmo is removing himself from the Sabres. Apparently, he had a meeting with KA. K.A. cancelled, said he had something important to do to prepare for the Draft and Free Agency. Jarmo was curious and went to his office anyway. KA was watching Charlie Brown cartoons.

"No Kevyn, we feel bad because you and the owner have destroyed a franchise and proven time after time after time that you simply don’t get it. You don’t get how the build a successful team, you don’t get that the fans are pissed off about missing the playoffs for 14 straight years and you don’t even have the wherewithal to change the coaching staff because they are all under contract yet you repeatedly stand and lie through your teeth that there are absolutely no financial restrictions. No Kevyn, I’m not mad because a report said that Muel might be bought out. I’m mad about a cheap ass owner who doesn’t know half of what he thinks he does would keep an incompetent fool like you in charge because you listen to his ideas which never ever work out." Bingo!!

Dead thread now. Adams said so!

What do you expect? A sudden change of stripes? Remember, it has worked well in the past (last 5 years)!

Maybe it is the way he plays that doesn't "fit my eye". Seems to act nonchalant on the ice.

The brass of this team needs to sit down and say hey, what kind of team, what style do we want to have here? How do you want to be known around the league as this team plays _ _ _ _ _. Keep the players that fit and fill the holes. The last 5 years seem to be a random assortment of players with not objective in mind. Or Maybe they do have a plan, and it is not working....

The games I watched, he is not worth that kind of money. He hasn't raised the needle for the Sabres.

Let's hope so. History is not on our side.

Does winning matter? Have you seen what is going on in Detroit? Lions and Tigers - "oh my". I live in Michigan and usually it is all U of M talk, winning has changed all that.

I used to search the internet in the mornings with a cup of joe and look for Sabre's rumors. Listen to Sabre's podcasts saying this might happen, this player will be traded, etc. After 5 years of KA-NADA, it doesn't happen anymore. So, when I am here, and see a spool of transactions, this trade that trade, I just shake my head. Nothing happens. After 5 years of KA, we should be skeptical (skeptical - hell, outright bull poop) of any "big" trade or acquisition. It is fun for hype and chin wagging. In reality, unless a grade A player publicly announces that he wants out of Buffalo or begs to play in Buffalo, then KA pulls the trigger. 5 years of pipe dreams. We will see if the additions of Stall and Jarmo make a difference and can change the stripes of the Zebra. I hope so. I need something to do when having a cup of early Joe.

and you have Frank Gore Jr as a back who has potential and lineage.

You are right, based on record the team got worse.

Authorities in New York City report that lab-tested samples have very little or no cocaine. They say there are record numbers of overdoses and there is no way to know exactly what is in pink cocaine. Because the drug usually contains a mix of uppers and downers, it is sometimes called a speedball. Authorities are trying to educate potential users who may not know how different ketamine is from cocaine. Cocaine is a stimulant, and ketamine is a sedative-hallucinogenic anesthetic. It does not mix well with alcohol. Similar to ecstasy, tusi can cause an intense feeling of happiness and an increase in energy, making it popular at electronic music parties. In addition, it can induce sudden changes in mood, from euphoria to anxiety and paranoia. In addition to anxiety and paranoia, use of this drug can cause psychotic episodes and flashbacks, in which the user relives the drug's effects long after use. This could explain Diggs drop in production and his sideline antics.

Perfect coach for the Sabre's! I would have them square off in rock paper scissors. Adams vs Jarmo and Ruff vs DeBoer. Winners take all.

Should be up to the coach. If the players at camp earn it, they should stay. Decide on talent and play and not contracts. Let their play dictate who stays.
