Kane and O'Reilly playing well for 2 very good teams but they were cancers here....maybe they weren't the problem.

and we'll waste it with no playoffs

agree but it's also the 4th time he's hit 30 in a season

of course...

Skinner has produced his entire career before coming here.

why is it odd when he plays well during a win?

what a ridiculous idea...trade your top goal scorer while 2 points back of a playoff spot with 28 games left....and if you trade him, do you really think he'd come back here?

same

so nothing is done at the deadline to improve the team....and just because you trade for players doesn't make them "rentals"...

I'm just tired of no playoffs

I agree we don't seem like a playoff team right now but you can't tell me expectations weren't there at the beginning of the season.

Adding Skinner along with other moves and most were not expecting playoffs? Why not and when do you expect to make the playoffs.....over 8 seasons now...

but this is Buffalo sports where draft picks and cap space are more important

ok, so when are we supposed to make the playoffs...next year...2-3 years from now or do we want to try and match the Bills 17 year streak?

when do you want to win? This year was not supposed to be a rebuilding year. This year is supposed to be a playoff year

I concur except he did bring in Nolan...who I think is a bad HC but I agree LaFontaine did not want to tank

and to think I read here that tanking and becoming the worst team in hockey will be worth it in a couple of years

only because the NHL awards teams a point for losing

a little? If any top players on any team miss time they will be in trouble as well

My father bought season tickets in the 2nd year in the Oranges...went to many games in the Aud. Got tickets for Christmas in the first season for 1 game. Sat in the Greys for that game

He does it every game.....really annoying and shows he has no clue what he is talking about and shouldn't have this job. We finally have a fast team that can score and this is all he can come up with....an he continues to talk during the game action.

I'm not saying win at all costs this year but you try and improve the team if possible....unlike the last few years when the goal was to be the worst.

simple as that....

Mostly being sarcastic to some posters who say we are not on win now mode....

but don't we want more picks and cap space......who wants to win now? I feel like I'm on the Bills board
