Assquatch Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 This isn't some weird performance art. I do think we're going to blow this. Trying to finish dead last with good goaltending... Which has been true all season was always a fool's errand, and Arizona/Edmonton play in the West. Also true all season. ...and the Sabres are in 30th.

Which is why I wrote other things in my post about why things can/will change in the last 25% of the season. The things you deleted when you quoted me.

Brawndo Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Don't even know what team he played for The only reason I did was he scored two goals for the Rags in their 3-1 victory over the Yotes. No Love for his hometown team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Edmonton does if they decide to unload anyone too. And I also said "I'm hoping I'm wrong." So I don't "know" what will happen. These are opinions.

LastPommerFan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think the way it will work is that we will finish 28th, and everyone will jump off the peace bridge, and then we will win the Lottery, and no one will care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2 if Crusty keeps it up. At best we have 4 2nd liners if Gus and Ennis get healthy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Per McKenzie Lee Stempniak to the Jets from NYR Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 15s15 seconds agoView translation Stempniak to Jets for Klingberg. Done pending call. That's gotta be his 8th team. He's become the ultimate NHL journeyman next to maybe....Dominic Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I just like the idea that GMTM needs to do something to ensure we finish last. Newflash: he doesn't give a sh*t. If GMTM is sitting in his office thinking "okay, gotta bottom these guys out at all costs", then he should be fired. He'll get what he can get to make the team better for next season and we'll draft wherever those moves put us. I'm not one of to put all my faith into an alleged "savior." The future of this franchise in the hands of Tim Murray not whoever is drafted #1 this year. There are too many steps in the process of a rebuild, so many that if the Sabres draft #1 or #2 it doesn't guarantee success just as drafting 3rd or 4th doesn't guarantee failure. I like was Tim Murray has done to this point. The trade deadline is just the next step and I believe he will do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be able to resign he with their cap issues and if they make the playoffs I can't see they going too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Boston didn't want to give up what Chicago did for Vermette You are assuming two things which I think are wrong. 1) That Vermette had the same value to Boston, as not only Chicago but also Stewart 2) That Stewart's value hasn't changed since most players are no longer on the board anymore to be traded.
