Radar Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 is it the coaches fault when you lose 13 games by one goal? when the goalies let up a soft goal in a tight game or when a winger cranks it off the post in one of those games? or when our guys suck ass at SOs and we lose another point again. because that's a lot of points left on the table right there from lost opportunities. give us half of those points from the 1-goal losses, and we're 2nd in the Atlantic. i can't put it all on DD. The more people on here bash Bylsma , and not saying I love him, the more we overlook the players part in this. You are right we have given up a lot of points where we had them made.

Rasmus_ Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Theodore for Bailey + 2nd or Fowler for kane That wouldn't even get you within 5 miles of a realistic asking price on either. Also, while Fowler is a decent enough skating defensemen he's still a liability in his zone. I'd rather pay more for Theodore, but Bailey and a 2nd doesn't get you past a "thank you for inquiring, have a great day!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Guhle will eventually take a spot and Kuli will heal. But they may never play on the same team. I don't see how Murray can justify re-signing Kulikov? I think our best bet is get him healthy and back on the ice, and sell him at the deadline.

Normally I would say yes, but he'll lose a good D men to Las Vegas in a couple of months for nothing if he keeps this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Normally I would say yes, but he'll lose a good D men to Las Vegas in a couple of months for nothing if he keeps this up. Great point. Sabres are weak in defense and on the wing. As well as Kane has been playing as of late, I do not support a trade involving him. Only move I can think of has already been mentioned. And that is get rid of DD. Edited January 21, 2017 by GoPre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is Guhle even eligible to be called up? I thought the Sabres burned his one emergency call up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is Guhle even eligible to be called up? I thought the Sabres burned his one emergency call up? I think you maybe right. Realistically though, why call him up and run the risk of burning a year of his ELC? This team has won three games in a row once this season and will need to go on an epic winning streak to get back into legimate contention, I can't see it happening. My one move would be moving on from DD, especially if the Bruins fire Julien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Only because there's already a thread dedicated to the departure of Mr. Bylsma and I hate thread creep: Upgrade the goaltending. Either get someone better, or trade Lehner for a defenseman and promote Nilsson and Ullmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Get the D back to a reasonably healthy state and see how they look in the 2nd half of the season. If they deliver another 80ish point season pace in the 2nd half -- seriously consider whether the game has passed DDB by (like, e.g., the NFL game apparently passed Rex by).

Even with them healthy I still think they should strip mine it and start over. Aside from McCabe and Ristolainen, the rest should be both unprotected in the expansion draft, I'd love to see Murray get rid of any and all of them.

Robviously Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Are we talking "one move" as in you only get one move? Or just one move you'd like to see them make to start fixing things? If it's "we only have one move", I'd put all my chips on just firing DB and getting a new coach. If it's moves I want them to make: - Talk to Anaheim about Jacob Larsson and Columbus about Gabriel Carlsson. Both are LHD (which we need) drafted at the end of the 1st round in 2015 and conceivably could help the Sabres as soon as next year. (Which, along with Guhle, means we might actually have a somewhat OK defense again soon.) We know contenders will want Kane at the deadline so maybe there's a framework. - Rest Kulikov for another month and then see if you can get 3 games out of him leading up to the trade deadline. Maybe that will be enough to get a playoff team to take him for a draft pick. - Trade Gionta and Franson to playoff teams for 2018 picks. We already have plenty of 2017 picks and it's not a super strong draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 There isn't just one. They need at least 2 competant D men...this team is a dfensive disaster apart from Risto and McCabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Trade Gorges for Karlsson. Hey, you never said the one move had to be realistic. Really though, it's Bylsma. No other (realistic) move has the impact potential of a significant coaching upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
