Night Train

That's the eye opener. The sheer amount of players having down years or struggling with injuries. Cancels out the improvement of Mitts, JJP etc. Problems with Special Teams and overall D play. Thought it would be Goalie but IUPL improved. Most teams would look at the coach but Adams is married to DG. Moving in the wrong direction and playoffs are now a dream over a real possibility.

Hurts his development, although I don't know if this organization is helping him. Another of the players they rushed to pay early and isn't anywhere near the player he should be.

Diggs started dropping balls on a regular basis the 2nd half of the season. That was surprising. This whole mercurial act is getting old. While the D needs the most overall help, the O needs WR's with hands. At least 2 more. If some team wants him for a pick, move him. He may be near the end of his good overall play and he has a heavy cap hit. If not, shut up and focus.

With a roster full of pacifists, trade some for players with an actual backbone. The baby soft bunch needs more grit .

Bills "Mafia"

Bills do need 2-3 more receiving options with a few leaving. Diggs and Shakir with our 2 TE's return. Unless they make some hard cap decisions, the draft will be their main avenue for adding talent everywhere. At least 2 more WR's at some point.

Caring starts at the top. TP is still dependent on others to change the rolls of TP (ironic) in the head. His wife is too ill for him to notice much of anything these days. Now in his 70's, he may be thinking of selling his sports teams or figuring out how to pass it on to his kids without some insane tax. Meanwhile, he lets Beane run the Bills. Prays KA knows what he is doing with the Sabres, even though the toilet seems to be backed up most days with clogs that cannot be cleared. His call list for plumbers seems to be limited to 1. Keeps extending people blindly which blocks any change. That allows KA to keep handing out healthy contracts to many who really haven't earned it and telling us it's sunny while it storms outside. . The result is production and healthy availability suddenly gets cut in half but the pay is still great ! What incentive ? I'm tired.. They really need someone with GM experience to start flipping this roster. Talent has to leave to acquire talent that produces better results. Not like those suggestions in the trade scenario threads where posters here see the Sabres receiving all-stars for VO, Jost and Krebs. Stop. The suckers are us. Not other teams GM's. KA has a long term plan where saying " we're close ! " has no expiration date. My date passed years ago with the acceptance of NHL also-ran. 1 person holds the key...and he's bunkered down in Boca. How to flush him out to do something is the issue. Not even large sections of empty seats seems to move him these days. Extended vacations do nothing for the fans.

Since this organizational rest started this past summer, is this still technically a vacation or more of a Leave of Absence ?

Taylor and Travis announce their 1st grandchild is actually an AI robot named Promo.

On the same day Bills make Brady the OC .No more interm tag.

I'm sensing a promotion to Buffalo is coming with the Quinn injury. He would be placed on a scoring line, which makes total sense.

You could have posted an empty box as an alternative and it would win in a landslide. No

I think we can hold on.

Greenway, Mitts and Tuch are just buzzing out there.

He does so many things well.

Sabres rescue a bad start to get back into the game. I was ready to bail at 2-0.

Why ? Oh wait...here comes KA..

Adams has a stack of blank 7 year 50 Mil contracts on his desk ! Hands them out like candy !

Going back to the first post. Why would it be impossible to trade anybody ? Are folks in love with the team or individuals ?

9 points out and 27th overall. I can do that math. The players know there's only 3 more months until they enjoy their first love...Golf.

Another no hitter. Only this isn't baseball.

The thread starter showed the lack of scoring as the #1 issue this year. Too many regressions from last season all over the roster. Bad power play.Opponents have scored 8 shorthanded goals against Buffalo, tied for most in the NHL. Poor puck handling. D play still needs a lot of work. Not a physical team. Giveaways are all too common. The only real improvement to me is UPL. 46 games and only 44 points means another year of watching other teams in the playoffs.
