1. Ask Spurs fans if they are still suffering after the 1996 Spurs went 20-62 and landed Tim Duncan #1 overall. 2. Ask Colts fans if the 1997 season stings after going 3-13 and then they drafted Peyton Manning in 1998. There are examples of this at a lot of levels. I love this stripdown to the core. It was SOLELY needed. The time will come this summer when it will be obvious this team will be about winning again. Fellow Sabres fans we have come this far only a few weeks left of this madness: Let's go 2-17 over the last 19, guarantee Eichel, and enjoy the progression upward.

I was busy posting false rumors on my terrible website LOL!

Sad but true haha

As long as Pegula gives out the green, oh yeah.

I really think the Sabres can compete in 2016-2017: We are in a salary capped NHL, the other unknown of this Sabres roster is: What if the Sabres are lucky enough to land a Connor McDavid...players will notice this and possibly want to play for Buffalo...and with an owner like Pegula, perhaps the time will be right in the 2016 offseason to strike on some UFA's and buy some talent as well. Calgary and Montreal recently had high picks and turned things around quick: Colorado turned it around quick last season. I believe it can happen sooner then most think.

+100000!

Is Mike Richter going to come out of retirement tonight? The end of the tank is in sight, let's painfully get this over with and complete the mission

For me just clinching that last overall record seals that we are probably getting Jack Eichel, which will make me ecstatic. I don't even think about Connor McDavid, I truly believe Bettman will place him wherever he sees fit.

67 here in Southern California :bag: , hoping to send you all on the East Coast the dry warmer weather, send the wet and cold stuff here because we desperately need it!

I do agree for the most part. It just illustrates nothing is full proof...scouts that watch players in person and get a feel for how the player is can sometimes be right, and sometimes be wrong....similar to that of analytics. In both cases, the teams that are right more then not are most successful.

We won't win the 1st pick. Like the Crosby lottery, the fact that Uncle Gary 'suddendly' had to change the odds for THIS season, that tells me all I need to know Bettman will hand pick his choice for McDavid. Agreed. The time will be right for Reinhart in 2015-2016. And they must play him on the 2nd line, not the 3rd line, he needs real skill around him.

Classic post!!!

Not huge on giving up all these young pieces but Tim Murray must be really high on Evander Kane..let's hope he is right

Considering that the Ducks have a good system and some really good young players, I'm excited to see what Tyler Myers could bring us back from Anaheim.

That 0.2% is the Bettman vig...saved for one of 'his teams'.

Attitude issues in the locker room for Kane? I'd pass.

:thumbsup: In truth I feel 99.9% sure Bettman will rig this draft to suit the needs of the teams like Toronto, Philadelphia or some other bigger market. Just finish last and we get Jack Eichel and he will be a franchise player too.

Jul 3, 2014 - Coyotes name Darcy Regier Senior VP, Assistant GM. Now, Don Maloney announces the team will be selling. Looks like Regier is making his impact felt in Arizona. I hope Darcy does not come back to bite the Sabres in the lottery

I rally like Darrell Bevell...he was the reason the Seahawks took a guy like Russell Wilson..and he is an innovate offensive mind and he could bring over some Seahawk flavor to the defense and if we can just keep Schwartz that would be amazing

So nice to see a game day thread again. Prediction: Sabres gain 25 points from last year, we see real progress from some of the kids, and we will still be in prime position to land Eichel or McDavid in the 2015 NHL Draft. GO SABRES!!!!
