I think you nailed it.

Thanks.

Did you expect some of the younger players who are playing for jobs next year to give up? Have you ever played competitive sports and just lose on purpose?

You guys know more about this than I but this doesn't look like an easy buyout and we would still carry a cap hit, correct? Also, can you buy out 6 years? http://www.capgeek.com/player/884

With the cap going down why would we want one of the worst contracts in the league? Tampa has wanted to dump hm for years now.

Yep. :thumbsup:

Fair enough. Didn't mean to come across as an ass. Just comes naturally sometimes.

Sorry but how can he be the complete package and wrong pick? Yes, he needs work but are you saying he can't become a franchise QB? I do hate that term. He needs to be a very good QB and you seem to think he can. That's why I questioned it Which scouts? Mel Kiper?

On the other hand there are a number of people who have said he has the most upside of any QB in the draft. Bills traded down, got 2 extra picks and got the guy they wanted. No one in Buffalo is ever happy. But I'm sure your friends know more about football than professional scouts.

LB depends if they can sign Dansby but that looks like it won't happen before today's picks so I think you are correct about a LB.

They won't take another QB in the second round. I'm guessing WR/DB.

Well said

Remember Gil Perreault in his his first couple of years? The only times he went in the defensive zone was to pick up the puck behind the net. Give the kid some time.Wonder what the reaction would be if the trade was reversed and we traded Hodgson for Kassian and they were having the same years? Many would be blasting Regier for trading a potential No.1 center.

In the same way missing the playoffs does no good also.

I don't care who they play. I really would like to watch some playoff hockey with my team actually playing. I'll worry about the draft pick when the time comes. I miss playoff hockey.

You mean where either team can win? Is that how all games are?

I know NFL is only one game per week but the home team has to tell visitors what color they're wearing early in the week. Hockey needs to go back to white at home or home team choice.

:thumbsup:

Could be because Pominville and Vanek are not his linemates any longer. He's still out there playing hard but his linemates are not what I would consider 1st liners.

I think the cons outweigh the pros in this case.

Hard to believe that Regier survives this mess and is entrusted to fix it.

I'm not defending all fans and the atmosphere is bad, I know. Could be just the Buffalo mentality that something bad will and does happen. It's just there are times when booing or shows of disgust are deserved. I know it's a bit overboard at this point but this team is such a disappointment many are pissed off.

You make good points but I just don't get the big opposition to booing. What do you suggest we do when the expectations are high and this team constantly fails? I don't want to stop going to the games or watching because i love hockey. Same thing with the Bills. Do we just sit there quietly? I'm certainly not going to cheer poor play. I also recall on occasion Miller saying after a poor performance, "We deserved to be booed".
