Welcome!
Thank you! Been a peeping John and just reading and decided to start posting again. Used to be on Sabresfans but left many years ago....

Any additional top 15 pick we get is going to help this team in the long run. With all the assets we have (Cap space and picks) it will eventually benefit the Sabres, KA is not stupid and actually seems to be building correctly and does not seem like he will mortgage the farm for a stupid move. Vegas is definitely on their way to NOT making the playoffs and that will help us out.

Girardi, from what NYC sports is saying that he is being offered an Assistant spot on the Rags. Hope he stays though.

I am totally ok with Granato..... Maybe talk to Quinn and see if he would be interested in an Associate coach spot.

Every year I pay for NHL TV on a month to month basis. I usually shut off right after Xmas so I end up saving cash every year when they are eliminated for the playoffs.

I may be in the Minority, but I think next season if we go back to normal gameplay we are (As we stand now) not in as bad of shape as most would think. Our kids were playing against mostly a division of playoff teams and held their own and played pretty well again the teams that were not. With normal year scheduling, we would not be stuck playing 80% of our games against possibly top 10 teams. Our net minding will be a bit more solidified, hopefully, and whether we have Jack, Sam and Risto, we will have pieces that should be able to used next year. Quite a few of our kids have shown they can play against top competition and fair well and even score against it. I am 100% not saying we are a playoff team, but as set, they will be competitive and fun to watch. As long as management does NOT mismanage this offseason, we do have some hope for a fun year next year.

I think you have a 24 entitled kid that wants what he wants and anything that is not that is a disconnect. I honestly believe the Buffalo Sabres are doing the right thing and trying to protect their asset, which is Eichel. Eichel can "posture" and say what he wants, which Adams acknowledged, but when push comes to shove, the Sabres hold the cards here. If anything Eichel should be quiet and wait until next year when his NMC kicks in. I still believe Eichel is an asset to the Sabres, But, if Adams decides it is time to move on from the the "Losing Crew" of Eichel, Sam and Risto, then I am all in and he should rake the most of what we can get which would still help this team if done right.

I have to say, being a Sabres fan is never ever boring. I would not let either Jack or Sam go.... we own them, make them play and earn their way off this team. Trading Jack now would hurt this team in many ways. Mend the breach and tell him to get better, come back 100% and play well. If things go south we can trade him to a playoff team or greener pasture. Sam is going to put it all on the ice next season as he is playing for a contract. Only benefits us.
-
We have control of Sam.... keep him this year and do the signings right and put a decent cast around him. We also have control of Jack. again, same scenario. Get our crap together and do this all right.

Can you really blame some of the players for saying what they are saying? All they have known is losing, and it is not even competitive losing.

Wouldn't if be the ***** if Tokarski plays the rest of the season rock solid and we end up with a late bloomer guy that can actually win games for us? Although even if that happened, the Minder situation needs to be fixed for next season. Going into next season with Ullmark and Tokarski would be a fail in my book. Ullmark is becoming "Glass Joe" and we need someone that can be counted on.

This team has nothing to prove but to themselves and their coaches. I say let the hounds of hell loose and lets see what we have. This is an extended preseason for next year and there is still pride in the kids.

So, am I wrong to think R2 is heading back to the Amerks?
They didn't bring in Bjork and Caggiula to not give them a look.
Well with Montour gone we are going to go with 6 d so that will free up one spot.

I need to sync up the WGR feed with NESN tonight so I don't have to listen to Jack Edwards.
NESN is the worst NHL Broadcast. They can be getting throttled 20-1 and their team is the end all be all....LOL No bigger Homers in the NHL.

The only leverage we had over Hall was to keep him and let him stew in Buffalo. Was KA at fault and got swindled? Possibly. Did he do all that he could? I thiunk he did the best he could. He is in a position of power with little or no help. He got as many picks as he could and has publicly said we need a bigger scouting Dept. I do not have major issues with a first time GM making some mistakes. It happens. It is whether he learns from them and can make the team better.
-
Bruins cannot score 5V5 and it has been a problem all year for them. I do not believe Hall or Lazar can play for them yet. (Could be wrong). Unfortunately or fortunately for me I let my NHL TV subscription go and not going to renew so forced to monitor the phone or listen to GR. Either way i hope the kids continue to prove they deserve to play in the NHL and Granato continues to impress as coach. Ohhhh and F$&K Boston!!!

Him and his staff are slowly getting to be deserved as decent contenders to stay in the position IMHO. They are getting more out of the younger players then ANY coach before them has. The team seems to be listening and responding to him and his current staff. NHL network had a bunch of good things to say about him. Would be happy to see how the season plays out. If they are playing hard and .500 i would consider letting it ride with him and his staff.
-
If he wants to stay i am good with that. He has proven he can be a #1

This was an off game and sloppy compared to their last 5-6 games, but the skills the kids have definitely shows through as they have not been missing on their chances when they get them. Was a fun game to watch and hate to say it i am going to be sad when Ullmark is gone.

We as Sabres fans are a jaded bunch. I have been a die harder since day one, and get it, but this is real over reaction.

Buh bye Linus.... Trade to the highest bidder and move on.

I see a ton of over reaction. I do not know what you expected to get from players on a team that did not win for 18 games. The Sabres were never in a position of power in any of these trades.
Stall - an older center with a few goals left. 2 picks not bad.
Hall - he has hit the wall hard!! Look at his production the last couple of years. Nobody was saying we were going to get a first for him.
Montour - Someone we did not need as we have 3 other on the team that can do the same thing. We got a 3rd and Florida took full salary, and they got a defenseman that can skate, score and does not know how to play defense.
My biggest gripe was losing Lazar, but he can be easily replaced.
We are all jaded from being Sabresfans. But, this is some serious over reaction to KA.

Un ugly off game where the boys were definitely outworked and out skated all game. Its gonna happen. Also, we are still playing without our top 3 centers and 2 best defensive dmen. I still see things as not as bad as i did when RK was here.
Thompson’s Next Contract?

As much as TT boy is one of my faves, i would wait until we see if he continues next season. If he keeps it up, then i would reward him at the end of NEXT season. As much as some thought he had the talent to score like this, need to show it a bit more before i throw the cash at him.
On another note, the Sabres had the autograph helmet for a donation to Roswell i believe and TT is who i got.
