My Problem is you responded about the Analogy being put out there at all. Wasn't excessive, Bills and Sabres are tied together due to Ownership. It does matter!

Yes, but the Time was last year too. Maybe we wouldn't have Regressed on the Scoring side. When we lost Quinn, Adams definitely needed a proven replacement. Adams has done a great job with Prospects but you can't load a NHL Roster with Prospects all at once!

Stanley Cup just finished so if they were to wait maybe cause they like an Assistant HC on a Stanley Cup team, Ruff may NOT be there. Your statement back then was about Ruff and tieing The Bills losing Record. Now you don't want to own that Statement. As everything turned out, I love Ruff hire and some other HC would not give me more Optimism.

Yes, San Jose should have moved back and Sabres moved up if they liked a Player. This move does nothing for a Veteran Trade except weaken our Position ONLY way this makes sense is if Adams has a Trade in Principle already for a Blockbuster Deal with Buffalo losing 4-5 Prospects. Then I could see Adams wanting more picks to replace what Amerks are losing.

Apparently Adams wants more Maybe Adams is playing 4D Chess? Did you say this when Beane was brought up?

Are we not hoping the Sabres get good enough they will be drafting lower in the Future??? Why on Earth then are we moving back when we may not be 11 or Higher for at least 10 years, that is the plan right? How is 14th pick worth more than 11th pick in trying to throw it in for a Veteran Deal? Never heard another Team say, this player you want is worth 14th pick, not the 11th. Adams LOVES his draft picks and prospect pools. Don't believe he can trade his drafted players for a Block Buster Deal. He just won't give them up.

Moving to 14 does nothing for the Sabres now. Hold the pick for a Trade and if doesn't happen, then take the guy you have at Top on Board. Doesn't matter if the Sabres REACH. We have too many Prospects as is. Pick 11 is worth more in a Trade for a Veteran. So what this tells me is there is NO TRADE available to the Sabres to make with draft pick for a Veteran Player. No one is Valuing this Draft apparently. This again gives me the feeling Buffalo is gonna use Prospect Pool we have to get better. I don't see any Top Trades and doubt Freeagents that are any good will pick Buffalo unless we way over pay. Hence why Skinner might be cut! Never know

We don't need Prospects or more Draft picks. Getting more picks does nothing. We don't need any. No path to the Sabres for 10 years, we are young. This Group of Amerks, only maybe 4-5 will make Sabres next 3-4 years. Most will be Bottom 6 or Bottom Defense pairing This Trade makes no sense. You move up maybe but not back. If a Vet is out there and a Team wants a Top 10 pick then you move up. Don't move back to make a Trade for a Veteran. If you are then I question the Veteran your getting is going to help.

Well guess we will see if Adams has what it takes to Rebuild this Roster to a Playoff Team. He has Failed with the most Talented Prospect Pool in the League. He now has a Winning Coach who has won here before, even going to a Cup. I don't think Adams can make the Correct trades to make us better. He likes his Drafts better, won't do what it takes to get the Veteran Talent needed to get Sabres to Playoffs. Getting in 1 year 8th spot isn't what we should be shooting for.

So you are saying Ruff's hiring will lead to 17 years or more of losing, you a Bruins Fan? One of the most Winning Coaches ever, Top 5. Best Coach Sabres ever had and damn good player who played both sides of the Line. Every Vet Coach available got fired from LAST Team. The HC that just Won the Cup never did for 28 years previous!

So you are a Communist controlling ones response with no swearing, no name calling and just pointing out another persons extreme point of view. There is nothing obnoxious with my Comments, you just don't agree with them. I simply pointed things out and asked a question.

You don't even know where he is going!

Can't lose Power, 1st Overall Pick who finished 2 years and is under 21. Can't lose Levi who we got giving up Reinhart and Franchise type Goalie with great Pedigree We have Duplicates of almost everyone else.

Context missy Dallas hadn't been to Playoffs since 2008. Ruff in three years had them in for 2014 Same with NJ, they sucked, rebuilt and they went to the Playoffs with the youngest Team. Ruff was runner up for Coach of the year last year. With Sabres he was in Playoffs 8X with 4 Conference Championship games and Stanley Cup Final Stolen by the League

Fire Adams now that we have a REAL NHL Coach

800+ wins 5th all time is not Amazing Had a Team to win in his Second year with Sabres for the Stanley Cup and the LEAGUE stole it. Most Coaches would have failed and been a Alcoholic He rebuilt the Sabres 3 times, new players and went to the Conference Championships all 3 times

So the Sabres with 13 NO PLAYOFF SEASONS is on a CUP RUN???? Geez, I hope they can back in next year like McDermott! Who you kidding??????? This Roster on offense has 6 keepable players.

You are NOT ok with 8 seasons of 99 points??? I mean sure we can go another round of Coaches then hire Ruff at 73 and 23 years of No Playoffs Sounds like a PLAN

Who is more about HOCKEY than Lindy Ruff 63 and been around it since he was a KID Your comment is just STUPID In NJ last year he was in the Playoffs with a very young team. The were 2nd I believe in the Conference. They won the 1st Round That is NOT a has been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well the last 3 hasn't with their HIRES

He has 500+ wins as Sabres Coach. Take 3-4 years of flat out Tanking to tarnish Ruff Wasn't Ruff the one COMPLETELY against the TANK?????

Ruff is 10 years outside of the Organization

I remember you Wanted Okposo and Girg back. Thought last years Roster should remain the same. Hell you were elated when Nolan was hired back yet hiring the Franchises most established Coach/Player??? Guess you are the fan that wants The Bills record broke!

So you're OK with 13 years of losing, no Playoffs, hiring all kinds of Coaches and doing it all over again with people we don't know. That is what you are saying RIGHT? How STUPID!!! Ruff knows Buffalo He will end the 13 years of NO PLAYOFFS What happens after that is Bonus right at this moment. We will know what the future is when they Hire the Assistants and the Roster structure over the Summer. I expect Pretty soon the players NOT wanted back will be told, SEE YA!

You're a Bright one! Defamation of a Winning Coach of 864 wins One of the most Accomplished Coaches in Sabres History Last Year, The Devils ultimately finished third in the NHL, and second in their division, with a 52–22–8 record. Ruff was again named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award. Ruff did this bringing NJ from the dredges for 3 years. In 2014, Ruff led the Dallas Stars to their first playoff appearance since 2008. Another team he brought back from the dredges!!!! In Ruff's second season as coach, the Sabres reached the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals before losing to the Dallas Stars in six games That is the Coach I want to LEAD the Sabres from a 13 years missing from the Playoff streak

You don't know why Bold letters are used? I can't help you If your willing to say you have no Loyalty to players you picked, you will get NO players to come to your Club! GM talks to and makes promises to young players they will stand by them. That player then signs his Rookie contract if you lie, you will not get your draft picks to sign and remain in the minors or College till you lose your Rights. Wow, if you don't know who the Top Line players really are, again, I can't help you. My suggestion is to stop watching the Sabres, you seem to hate the Team!
