K-9 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 People are melting down in every thread with every save Lindback makes and every scrub Tippett sends over the boards. Put yourself in Tim Murray's shoes: what would you do? I've made my position known: as complete a roster makeover as possible. None of the injured players even sniffs coming back. Star players like Ennis and Risto are shelved to prevent injury. Every prospect in the A that we haven't seen is called up to get a look. And we bring in an ECHL goalie as well. Gotta be in it to win it. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Let the coaches coach, and the players play, that the way, chips fall where they may Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'd go all the way down to the 7-11, grab a couple 2-for-$3 bombers of Genny, and relax with some John Scofield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the coaches coach and the players play. And let Murray decide what chips are played. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Kind of the second one. I wouldn't order it completely. I would say that the team needs to get Hackett in enough games to protest the asset. But I don't think Lindback continues his streak either way.

Claude Balls Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hackett definitely needs to start the two games against Arizona and the one against Toronto....at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think this isn't working because you have desperate AHL lifers playing their hearts out; it's not because Lindback is a god, or Murray hasn't manipulated the roster enough. I think if anything Murray may have manipulated it too much. Lazy vets with nothing to play for but a pay check are who you want on your team in a tank job, and we have the opposite of that. There's a very fine balance involved between talent and effort in a tank job, and our scales might be leaning too much one way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'd take a huge dump on Ted Nolan's desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Have we not suffered enough? Anything less than McEichel is a complete waste of these last 2-3 years. They MUST obtain one of those players, at any cost. Hackett must play 7 games in order to stop him from becoming a free agent (I could care less if he stays, but that is a great excuse to pull Lindback, who I really like). ALL MANNER OF LOSING GAMES MUST BE EXPLORED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Let the chips fall where they may. We all know best case scenario for Murray has always been McWhosit but right from the beginning he's said the goal is to get high picks which we will get. These 2 years aren't a waste in my opinion if we don't get McWhosit. But it will hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they are cheaper and more cost effective nowadays, and not nearly as good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I wonder if Murray truly wanted to keep Nolan as coach and how much was PR? The organization had just gone through the process of trading Miller, PLF leaving and was in the midst of trying to bottom out. I wonder if some higher ups were worried about a fan base revolt if one of the most beloved coaches in the history of the franchise was not re-signed to a contract extension. The argument can be made that Murray was given total control of hockey ops and the final decision rested squarely with him. Who knows?

TrueBlueGED Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 The options are too extreme for my tastes--my approach would be to opt for "player evaluation" moves. I'd simply get Hackett his games, maybe sneak a look at Makarov, and send Larsson down to see, I dunno, what Catenacci can do in the NHL. Grigs is an option too, but if he gets NHL time with real linemates I worry he may pull a Larsson on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
