  1. I think those who say DB knows he is on his way out because he made this move are not seeing it properly: Why would DB, if knowing he is going to be fired and wants another coaching gig, pull a stunt like this considering the negative backlash he probably knew it would create? I would think DB would want to keep a lower profile, exit with class, and keep his reputation in check at least from the 'he won a SC' angle.

     

    I think this move to bench Samson means DB is safe next year and he wants to send a clear message that the culture needs to change.

     

    It's the same old song and dance every season from so many hockey fans: Coach this and coach that. I get coaching helps, but perhaps, maybe just perhaps, the Sabres are not as talented as we all think they are?

     

    Sabres were so unlucky the first two months with injuries: Relatively good health and we have 8-10 more points, in the playoff race, and there is ZERO talk of removing DB.

  2. What we've all been waiting for....

     

    BUF is currently sitting 7th in points lost %.

    Edited for accuracy based off of Bettman's desires.

  3. I'm very surprised at the empty seats at KBC for Notre Dame - Princeton.  I thought Notre Dame would have that place packed.

     

    Really is a true sign on how far College Basketball's popularity has fallen because of the one and done rule

  4. Initial Guide to the 2017 Off-Season:

     

    Step 1: See if a trade can be worked out for Tony Romo.

     

    Step 1a: if Tony Romo comes to Buffalo, let Tyrod go, and draft a QB to groom along with Cardale Jones

     

    Step 1b: If a Tony Romo trade cannot be worked out, pickup Tyrod's option and sign a vet QB like Josh McCown to be a serviceable backup with an eye to draft a QB in 2018.

     

    Step 2: Let Stephon Gilmore leave: It just appears on the surface SG does not really want to be in Buffalo: That $ can be used for better corners to better fit McDermott's system. Maybe even 2.

  5. I think the questions that are on everyone's mind are, is Bob Corkum available, and how soon can he be on a plane?

     

     

    :lol: :lol:

    It sounds closer than it is. I don't have the numbers handy, but the Sabres are at the point where they have to start winning something like 2 of every 3 games for the rest of the season to get to the mid-90s in points, where 8th usually falls. I have no reason to believe they're going to start winning at that pace for 2 months. I'm pretty sure they're not even going to go out and win at that pace for the next 2 weeks.

     

    I'm not saying fire sale, but if a good deal comes along to get a solid prospect for one of our older players, I'd be listening.

     

     

    Agreed and considering the Sabres have to climb 5 teams and combat the challenge of teams getting 1 point for losses and shootouts, it's time for GMTM to sell.

  6. Toronto is given the lottery by Bettman and gets McDavid: Sabres draft Jack Eichel.

    Luke Richardson is named Head Coach of the Buffalo Sabres.

    Sabres sign Antti Niemi to a 3 year contract.

    Sabres sign Mike Green to a 5 year contract.
