Jsixspd Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 So how many years have the Buffalo Bills been "rebuilding"? Or maybe it should be 'decades' instead of years now? At any rate, based on the outcomes with the Bills, color me highly skeptical when anyone talks about "rebuilding" in a positive light. I usually think of "rebuilding" as an excuse for failures, and continued failures, and a way for dead-wood to stay employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 With Darcy's hands all over the rebuild, #booprint is a possible outcome. But I'm "Robviously" :) hoping that will not be the case. Please stop, or become a writer for NHL.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to Regier himself, he must cry out "It's not my fault!" more often than Han Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Are there any Regier apologists left? Seriously, is there a poster on this board who, if Darcy was fired tomorrow, says "that's a mistake." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, is there a poster on this board who, if Darcy was fired tomorrow, says "that's a mistake." It's funny, I remember at the end of the 2007 season I said that Regier should have been fired and got bashed heavily by folks on here, and if I remember the moderators name (SDS?) said I had no clue what I was talking about. Fast forward 6 years, looks like I did know what I was talking about back then (and now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Washington? Really Yeah I'm not too sure why they talked up the Capitals in the beginning there. Ovechkin hasn't won, or even been to, a Cup final. That's not success. This was what stuck with me, not too surprising, but makes me nervous that we'll be an Ottawa As Nill mentioned, part of the rebuilding process can be about timing. The Penguins ended up with Crosby and Malkin, but the Ottawa Senators had the No. 1 pick in back-to-back years and ended up with Chris Phillips and Bryan Berard, fine NHL defensemen but not game-changers. As the Flames continue their rebuild and the Sabres get started, the 2015 NHL Draft might offer a player who can make the difference, someone who can make the plan to "lose and draft" a great idea. "If you look at the teams that really hit in the draft, it was about getting the right pick at the right time," Nill said. "There's a young man by the name of Connor McDavid who is coming up in two years. Well, he's a franchise player. Somebody is going to draft him and he's going to be the cornerstone of the franchise for 15 years, for 20 years. Those players only come along so often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Coach Ran Ralston said Connor McDavid would be benched for a fourth straight game. "We need Cannar to work a lat harder than he has been." McDavid has one point in 11 games while skating between Cody McCormick and Eric Boulton. Except that Black Sunday wasn't his fault. But carry on. Someone else was holding the brush? No wonder Darcy's a little prickly, given all the hands he's had up his puppet ass over the years.

Basically saying Darcy's modeling his rebuild after other successful stories Interesting tidbit, especially for the Darcy is a weasel crowd. Right from a GM's mouth. It is usually not up to the manager. It is ownership's call on how they want to do it," McPhee said. "You take your instructions from ownership. You certainly give your advice on it, and you say there's one way to do it and another way to do it, and pick which one you want to do and away you go.

I'm not dismissing the article...just linking McPhee and the word weasel....he may be the only GM I would actually take Darcy over.

Not offering Briere a contract extension because good ol' Darcy was pissed that Briere took the Sabres to arbitration wasn't fault? Waiting until the end of a players contract [Drury] negotiate an extension wasn't his fault either I bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have signed Briere, Drury, Dumont, McKee, Campbell, and Grier ($22.5 million per), for the same it cost to sign Connolly, Hecht, Kalinin, Kotalik, Gaustad, Roy, Vanek.....not to mention the 4 #1 picks for Vanek and $3 million in cap space. I'm sure Pegula has NO CLUE as to this....and probably doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 He could have signed Briere, Drury, Dumont, McKee, Campbell, and Grier ($22.5 million per), for the same it cost to sign Connolly, Hecht, Kalinin, Kotalik, Gaustad, Roy, Vanek.....not to mention the 4 #1 picks for Vanek and $3 million in cap space. I'm sure Pegula has NO CLUE as to this....and probably doesn't care. I think Pegula knows this all too well, which is why he authorized long term signings for Myers, Hodgson, Leino and Ehrhoff. Hasn't worked out terribly well to date, but those moves show recognition of past errors. I also think it's far more complex than this, especially when Golisano was on record for wanting only one year contracts and allowed for Briere to go through the arbitration process in the first place. Darcy has a lot of faults, but I don't know if the dismantling of that team can be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
