Agree…..and in my wildest dreams I also hope Doan can eventually become the “Foligno” of the Dale McCourt trade. I would love to see him become a top 6 player who can add some intensity and a physical presence that could help the top 6. Maybe too much wishful thinking on my part though.

Agree….not to mention maybe keeping an eye on some other players negotiating new deals….like Kaprizov with the Wild. Depending on where that lands, Alex and his agent could say that $10 million AAV is reasonable.

Soupy Campbell’s Buffalo legacy will forever be his hit on RJ Umberger and his spin-o-rama move IMHO.

IDK - they’re not saying anything that isn’t already plainly obvious to Tuch and his agent IMHO.

Can he also play as a RHD? 🙃

Who else in the organization would take over as Director of Player Development (assuming he is permanently relieved of his duties)?

IMHO - the team still needs a player who is a puck handler capable of gaining access to the offensive zone. We can't rely on dump and chase to reacquire possession and then setup, but rather somebody who can maintain possession getting over the blue line.

I wish they could do a secret and confidential polling of the players to get their grades of this putrid FO.

I might be in the minority, but I still consider him more of a winger than a center. I think the team really needs him to hit the 20g minimum mark to make enough of an impact, which IMHO his shot is good enough to do. That being said, I'd still like to see the team make a deal to get a 2C.

The Sabres will be moving their games to old Highmark (Rich Stadium) since the Bills won’t be using it after this upcoming season. (Kidding of course)

Purely wishful thinking, but how about Marcus Foligno’s dad Mike? He may have been considered an added player after Dale McCourt, but he was the best part of that historic trade. Maybe Doan can surprise us with his scoring and leadership???

I would not want to work in the Sabres season ticket office….how do you sell tickets with no excitement?!?! Pegula can fire his entire Marketing staff since they have nothing to do.

I know these are all player moves, but my vote for worst move was to hire GMKA.

So no Eric Staal in the room….or did I miss seeing him? I guess he wasn’t important enough to be there or that he himself didn’t want to attend?

Seems like a logical assumption….since that is how the Bills are supposedly structured (McDermott direct to Pegula).

Unless GMKA has Tuch, Dahlin or TNT telling him otherwise, I think he’s done. Getting Tuch extended could be his next priority.

Yes….looking down the road a few years, a right defense group that includes Mrtka, Bedkowski and I’ll add Kleber from last year’s draft looks solid and difficult to play against. I am not overlooking Kesselring either, who I hope will bring some snarl that we need right now.

But.....what competent GM would want to come work for Pegula? Hence, Pegula is still the problem.

IMHO he has leverage with Columbus. He can go to the KHL otherwise.

Can he play RHD?

Maybe they should convert him to a top 6 forward and see what he can do.

He’ll only come over if you tell him that he doesn’t have to spend any money to buy a bottle of wine to bring with him to dinner.

And who is the president of the Sabres hockey ops? Answer: Terry Pegula

Maybe Kevyn’s next tunnel vision project (besides loading up on RHD’s) is to obtain players with the same last name of former well known NHLers? After MacTavish, he can try to get a Domi, Bertuzzi or even better a Tkachuk! 😁 All joking aside….I would not mind seeing this trade scenario happen.

Robertson staying in Dallas?
