Sure they're competitive now, but again, enjoy the regular season and a playoff game or two. In the end, you're there to win a Championship and the Bills have not done so as of yet. They should have been in the Super Bowl last season but all things being Buffalo, the bed got ££££ upon again. The Sabres, while improvement looks like its on its way (after 11 of the worst seasons possible) have to show this season that it's no fluke. Yes, I blame the last decade entirely upon ownership of the Buffalo Sabres Hockey Club. You accept the grief and you also share in the rewards as an owner. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why our own draft picks are turning down a chance to make the squad left and right. It is quite disturbing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave ownership confidence that, when given the opportunity to fully rebuild the roster, the team's leadership would deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Does anyone know where we can send him gift baskets as a thank you for not coming here? It looks like the Sabres were doing g it as a favor to the Sens to move up in the draft since it looked like Murray and 7th for 1 of the Sabres 1st.

Moving from 16 to 7 would likely be the equivalent of a late first to send him here, with some retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I saw Basicaly the Sabres move up to 7 in a swap for 16, and take Murray off the Sens hands (with some retention) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contempt Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm way more pissed they didnt get Georgiev for three draft picks with a miniscule chance to ever play in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's kind of hilarious is that Chicago fans are now also pissed at Matt Murray for not waiving his NMC. If the Murray trade with Buffalo happened, there's no 7OA pick to trade for DeBrincat. Any chance Buffalo makes a deal with Chicago now to get that 7OA pick along with an expensive contract in return for 16OA??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. The point being, I TOTALLY BLAME THE PEGULA's for the past decade of ineptitude of Sabres hockey. I don't care what they've done with the Bills. This is a Sabres blog and the team has gone 11 seasons of no playoffs and some of the worst teams in the history of this franchise that has alienated a fan base that deserved so much better. Yup, completley on team ownership. Hope that makes things clearer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that please you? What are you going to do once the Sabres are good again? Why are you even here if the Sabres are so unbearable? Do you not watch the games? Do you get mad when they win?
