All kidding aside, it sucks when a team reaches its peak potential, and the owners go, "this winning things sounds expensive" and they dismantle the team. "Besides I just sold season tickets out for the next 5 years based on this season.."

It happened to us in 2007, NJ this year, Chicago after the cup, Oilers in 06.

Yeah, its definitely the lesser case, but had they taken care of the Parise deal in a timely manner we wouldn't be having this talk.

I have lecavalier and iginla in a video game on the sabres... They should too.. just a quick little trade or two..

Suspend the political talk. Not everyone can handle it without name calling, and I'd rather not ban people today.

Plus, it's boring.

Looks like u were right... That Legend Lou was able to resign Parise... Oh.. wait... Well atleast he went out with all that huge salary cap and replaced the talent... Crap.. 0-2... Well u did say in June that the Devils were real close to adding some deep pocket owners to help that huge debt.. man.. im just not on my game today... 0 for 3..

how close was buffalo to being bankrupt?

for all the talk how come the devils haven't declared bankruptcy? which so many kept saying

but you must be happy you did say you rather wouldn't make the playoffs so you got your wish while my team was 2 wins from lifting the cup

Cool draft pick bro..

Grigorenko and Girgensons..

I love it that NJD kept the 29th draft pick but will forfeit probably a top 12 pick next year!

New Jersey Coyotes... Have fun with that.

id rather go to the playoffs and have a chance at winning the cup and make the finals then not make the playoffs at all

yes losing being that close sucked but the devils got much further than expected and i have seen the devils lift the cup up at the old CAA

the sabres never had financial issues.....ever

im confident Lou knows what he is doing he has a good history of putting a competing team on the ice, and also a 3time cup winning team so i don't think it will suddenly go down the drain

id expect teams that miss the playoffs to get better prospects

Buffalo is better than:

Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa for sure

and Boston wont have Thomas so...
