Well, yeah, I was, but I get it- when you're thinking and typing at the same time sometimes the fingers do their own thing. 6 minutes ago, Ogelthorpe said: Yes I have bought into the narrative that this organization is so inept that it can alienate its players I won't say they didn't; I don't really know. I just know that the Sabres got fleeced on that trade and it set the build back years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be behind trading Olofsson and ERod if it meant an upgrade. Even slightly. But I think a little more fuel to that fire is what’s needed to grab someone of worth. Zam, Simpson's post was hilarious. Thanks for the s@#t talking this morning. This team is just so frustrating and I see no end in sight. I dont necessarily want to get rid of Sam but we have no trade chips really. VO and Erod are assets in a trade but what can they bring back? I think you have to add a big piece to get what we need. Dont think Risto is considered big piece anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mr. Flagg, are there any 3rd or 4th liners we could deal for by using some of ours that could at very least give both sides a fresh start?

This year I've watched the least hockey of any kind since 2005-06, when I didn't have cable or the internet. All of my views on players are from last season still. Thank you Sabres!

The only difference is Gudreau probably scores a little more than Sam but I got bad news for everyone yelling about bigger forwards and net front presence. That's where you're wrong, kiddo!

He’d instantly be the grittiest top 9 forward on the team. I think y’all should be prepared for Kyle Turris incoming soon too. Flames and Preds both want D. The parameters for these moves have been discussed for months. The teams involved are finally struggling enough to pull the trigger. My god, Botterill moves slow.

Obviously for 9 or 26 it would have to be a trade that blows you away. I also think the gm's have been incompetent for years and years now.

When does the internal pressure to go something change to an internal memo not to trade any future picks or prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever hit this point with a GM you have to fire them on the spot, no? Jason has made some weird trades but he's only REALLY lost one.
