Still waiting for somebody to show me where the futility of the Sabres was the reason for Peterka’s departure.

I’ve heard he didn’t like the city. He acted like he didn’t like the coach(es)

Here you go 

 

They could do their jobs - that’s always an option

Calling Kulich and Quinn “untouchables” is high comedy - that’s not hyperbole. You cannot actually be serious. Not “only for the right return” you are calling them off limits. Absurd. You sound like rangers fans re: Eichel 

There’s a certain comfort in retreating back to having zero expectation and “collecting” your team ala EA sports nhl 

don’t really need to win if you can just be happy talking about your little collection of players online - in language you feel comes off balanced and reasonable but actually, demonstrably only exists in that form as a means to an end in and of itself: the laying out of the players you are mentally collecting in verbiage you find satisfying. Its objective horse ***** 

Do you believe that either Quinn, Kulich, Power or Benson will be traded before the season starts? I don’t.

You are moving the goal posts. The trades should have happened months ago/ years ago.  Instead we have a eunuch GM that bends over at every opportunity.  My lord I ***** hate these guys. How ***** hard is it?

If you trade Quinn he will be a 30 goal scorer for the receiving team. He is a “Hell No” player for me, and so is Power. 
 

If NOBODY on a losing roster is immune from being traded, does that mean Dahlin is also a candidate to be traded? Please don’t go  crazy on me due to pent up frustrations. 🙃

You sound like Adams. So much belief in Quinn. He hasn't shown that at all. He might do that, but he also might do next to nothing.

Yes I would trade Dahlin if I could make the team better. I have no interest in trading Dahlin for the sake of trading but if I can get better I trade anybody. Nothing and no one on this team has shown themselves to be so brilliant they are a cornerstone. There's nothing to be a cornerstone of. 

Honestly, if I could, I'd trade the entire roster and start over like an expansion team.

Not really with the cap going up this year. Dallas traded 1 guy I would have had interest in. Vegas... no one. 

Teams are still looking to make moves. Many teams around the league are actually trying to win. I know, it's an odd concept Sabres fans aren't used to.

Well there's nothing and no one that makes you say they are perfect as is. Not the management, not the coaches, not the players. We have no character, no identity, no future. It is the most inept sports franchise in North America.

If you believe I’m a supporter of KA, you have grossly misread my posts about him. I’m almost as contemptuous of him as I am of the big boat owner.
