LaFontaine was absolutely correct. We're wasting Jack and perhaps Reino. I cannot seriously see playoffs for at least another 2 years. Yeah we literally need a 50% roster turnover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to invent a "thumbs up" type thingy that means I agree with what you say, but I can't give it a thumbs up because it hurts my soul.

Nitro60 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 If you want to know why the Sabres are a bad team? Look at the past decade of drafting. So many premium draft picks that did not pan out or where traded away. This organization has to get way better at scouting talent and figure out what kind of team they want and have a long term plan (no matter the head coach). This team can not be built on cast offs, low level free agents and the occasional trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when the players on the roster just are not suited to play together. Any coach can be perceived to be successful, if their roster's chemistry comes together. We don't have the players. We have a few great players, and the rest are crap unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you. I am in my 50's and remember both Cup Finals. Long suffering fan who would love to see a seriously competitive Sabres club again. Not sure when that will happen. Nice to be optimistic about next season but we have been doing that for far too long now. Time for the GM to show me before I buy into more blind "optimism". If you watch other games in the league right now as they jockey for playoff positioning, we are so far off that, that I can just take a wait and see attitude now. Not expecting much change and I fear coaching is playing a huge role here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just not enough progress. Not enough sack on this roster either. Botts seriously needs to bring in a few thumpers. I would love a Tom Wilson type of player on this team. 20 goal scorer who will take care of business on the ice as needed. And how many games did he miss to start the season? Guy might be sniffing 30 goals if he played all season. Edited February 27, 2019 by Claude Balls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) It’s time to start rotating kids from Rochester up to see if they can play. I need to see Nylander, Olofosson, Borgen, Daugherty, etc.. Waive Sobotka. Put KO on IR. Do something. At least giving the kids some PT will send a message to the vets and maybe the kids will give this sad bunch some inspiration. I love PH, but are these guys even trying. Taylor has them playing in Rochester for the second year straight maybe he can help. If PH returns Hajt for sure and some others in his staff need to go.
