Whoa whoa whoa Pegula did not by a lemon. He bought a proud tough hockey franchise with a nice history for not having won a cup. And somehow sank it right to the pit of hell.
- Buffalo--Sabres

He bought a lemon disguised as a hockey team.

the thing is darcy is in no position for trades right now. he should have done it preseason so he could get way more back then the actual worth of a player. instead he held on to guys (im sure thinking he could squeeze more out of the trades later in season). now we are in the bottom of the barrel and with the coach fired other teams now he is in a position of desperation and weakness. who really thinks he will trade with other teams lowballing him?

don't get me wrong change is in order but i'm not expecting too much right now. perhaps he has some favors to call in with other gms??

DD still think there's a trade by tmrw? The next move should be Darcy canned, what an awful display last night.

Darcy should be the next move, he is at fault for almost all of this IMO

I think thats why he makes the move, because he knows he is next so he trys to save face again

If there is a trade made you can bet your ass that Darcy is being allowed to keep his job.
That much is certain.

you are spot on about other GM's smell blood in the water and are going to be calling Darcy wanting to get in on the desperation trades to save his job

I dont think Ted , Terry or Kim allow him to make one at this point especially anything involving Miller/Vanek/Pommers unless he is keeping his job beyond this season.
Makes zero business sense that involves millions of dollars to allow a man you are pondering firing to make important changes to your business.

Hindsight 20/20 yadda...

Wait for the deadline, drum up interest, sell your goods in market.

His leverage comes from competing bids.

He just extended Darcy. I think he'll give him at least 2 years.

It's just so unbelievable that the waiver wire team was so much better.

That doesn't make sense. Before Pegula, division championships and playoff appearances. After Pegula dead last place two years in a row after significant play.

The calendar at weeks end flips to March.
The trade deadline drawers ever closer.
In my opinion we will know by the end of the week which direction this franchise is going and who is leading it.
