You ever see how good he is on this tire fire?  Imagine what he could do with teammates that can play this sport.

Yeah, no.  You need a Rubber Man toy to stretch generational that far.

I understand the difficulty of the position we are in. Long standing acrimony and failure etc.... but you start by getting a FO that is capable and decorated and you begin by drafting and retaining your stars... the Eichels and Reinhardts and Montours... A dream that will never happen.... just not true... Edmonton doesn't have palm trees but they attract players and they went thru am abyss themselves... the Bills went thru it for 20 years... but they gained a competent FO and built around their stars... people come here for less money than they would get to go elsewhere and they play outside.  Green Bay would tell you the same thing... bottom line i get your lament and recognize the difficulty but this isn't about palm trees and taxes it's about culture and there is nothing wrong with Buffalo it's a great place to live for some.... LA NYC I would literally never want to live there not my style but to be sure its other peoples... different players would like different settings some love buffalo and stay ... Thomas Kelly Martin Ray Barnaby Hajt etc.. etc... others dont and leave... but to go anyplace to win and get paid well I dont think they care the city they do it in as long as they win... and if that is not their goal i dont want them 

We could go back and forth forever on this.  You say start with a capable and decorated FO and then use the Bills as an example and it's 100% not what happened to the Bills.  Even if that was true, we're not getting that for the Sabres.  I'm shocked we landed Jarmo TBH and it's some weird work from home role.  IDK man, we had Eichel for 33.33% more than he's been gone, we sucked.  Ok you want Eichel, Sam and who Montour?  Then you don't have Tage, Tuch and pick someone.  

If you think Buffalo, as a place to live, is attractive, then you're just not paying attention.  Kelly and Thurman like it because they wouldn't be adored if they lived anywhere else.  Ray wouldn't sniff the job opportunities he's gotten here, elsewhere.  C'mon.  The population has massively declined over the last 30 years and even since the 50's.  

You can laugh at palm trees and taxes all you'd like, but it's absolutely a factor.  It doesn't make me feel good to say that because I love Buffalo.  The people are fantastic, among the best even.  I feel one of the factors is because, the grind of being a Buffalonian brings out a character in them/us that can't be manufactured.  It produces an amazing community of people.  

Plenty of athletes have bought into that vibe and have absolutely realized something different than they thought.  But they thought it, because they all do.

Not a Calder winner, not a perennial all star, peaking at 6th in Norris voting, out pointed by a Dman taken 5 picks later in the same draft and started a full year later is evidence enough.  Court finds in favor of Weave.
