    So, what’s the deal here? Is the level of competition that much lower than the NHL or is he just on fire? I get there are many NHL players on these rosters, but they can’t all be. 

    It's definitely the coaching but maybe I was wrong the pressure from the fans did get to him.

    OK -- how about these:

    - Sabres trade Jiri Kulich and Ryan Johnson (or Matt Savoie and #11, or some other combination of those 4 assets) to FLA for Sam Bennett -- contingent on Bennett signing an extension for 6 years @ $7MM per year.  It's too much money and too much term for Bennett, who turns 28 in June, but he's not coming to Buffalo without getting that type of contract.

    - Sabres trade Jiri Kulich and a 2024 2nd-rounder to Vegas for Nicolas Roy.  Vegas is close to capped out.  Roy is a 6'4", 202-lb C who is a 35- to 40-pt guy, turned 27 in February and makes $3MM per year.

    - Sabres trade a 2024 2nd-rounder to the Islanders for Kyle Palmieri.  Palmieri, a 5'11", 198-lb RW who had 54 pts this season, will be 34 in February and has one more year on his contract at $5MM -- and the Isles are capped out.

    I would like bennett but his cost is that much ?

    Michael McLeod is a 26yr old player on NJD that you could probably get and would have familiarity with Ruff. Since I have clearly lost the FOW debate, he has a career 58.3% and also 101 hits in 45 games last year. Would be someone that I think is a UFA because his last contract he didn't sign a qualifying offer but was just given a standard contract for 2 years. That is if I understand the CBA correctly. Still, this is a guy that fits perfectly at #4 center and can play some #3 center in a pinch. Career high of 26pts last year and a career high of 10g this year. 

    He's never going to play in the NHL again

    People have really short memories around here.

    That culture was introduced by the likes of Roy, Pominville, Stafford of the late 00’s.

    KA never built this, he just failed to change it. Just like everyone else.

    ? The culture started when we decided to tank where losing was acceptable.

    Sorry, this is just ridiculous 

    How is it ridiculous when you're getting paid 13 million and you have 23 goals in 55 games in the playoffs

    When things get tough and not easy like in the regular season he doesn't want any part of it.

    He has 23 goals, 48 points in 55 games. His shots on goal pace is similar to the regular season. He is not why they have had little success in the playoffs.

    Oh, and he’s not getting traded.

    He avoids contact like the plague once he gets hit he's done he doesn't like being hit.

    And yes he is a problem why they haven't had success you're getting 13 million you need to show up
