At this stage of the market, I'd rather have Silverberg than any one of those players, especially Myers because of his contract.
- buffalofan19

Whatever. Same stuff dif. year. Sorry for assuming our gm over values players lacks the heart to make trades. We have no talent anybody wants after 2 years of not making playoffs and lets have Miller start the whole year lose him for nothing what the heck same for vanek. Go lottery

I'm not feeling good about our team, go look at Ryan's stats the last couple years.
- BigStew

Fail and get better through the draft? I suppose that timing is everything and perhaps there isnt anything out there that is tasty enough to take a bite out of in terms of FAs and offers for Mr Miller.

I can only assume...

Bobby ryan was our last hope for anything...


He immediately tweeted "ottawa im coming in hot"


This dude is gonna straight ball out for them

We (frank)ing suck...
- JVince11

We prob wouldn't have been able to convince Ryan to stay here though
I'm not trading a 1st, Grigorenko & Girgensons for a guy that'll prob walk
I'd feel different if we were further into the rebuild,
But i think we are years away from competing for the cup
So I'm not really too interested in making these kinda moves now

Are we allowed to trade our GM?
I'll take a high quality bag of pucks from the KHL for him...

- buffalofan19

You would rather have Silvferberg who is maybe a 20 goal scorer in this league over Myers based on a contract? Are you drunk?

Here is what bothers me. I'm not concerned with a lack of signings, I honestly don't want any. However, this insanity to not move Miller unless the deal is a complete fleece could drive a crazy man sane. If he walks for nothing, I am going to lose my friggin' mind! It is unacceptable to allow either he or Vanek to walk for nothing! And I fear that is going to happen.

Really?

Stop trying ti feel good about our team outlook....

(frank) this game....

Im cheering for someone else...
- JVince11

So you won't be posting here anymore??

man, this new division is going to be tough..

I've narrowed my list to Tampa, EDM and LA

Lemme know who we will root for. I already root for Chicago too lol
- Beezer33

Nash, clb, or min....

Nash farm club is in milk where i grew up... My company has clb season tix for when we do business in ohio... Or min becuz their farm club is in dm where i live

stop its bobby ryan. What i would give away the 8th pick right now
- hafgod

Stop, names mean crap.@HeleneStJame #RedWings had little interest in Ryan, none after lackluster performance in this year's playoffs against them.

I respect the Red Wings talent evaluation more than yours. And, the 1st is in 2014 so there is no chance I would give up that 1st due to the Sabres potential shot at McDavid.

Capt. I understand you are an optimist and also understand you have you opinion as well however, Darcy has to step up to the plate sometime to better this team. You can't keep getting rolled all the time when teams in your division are rolling you.
- SABRES 89

89, the point of this season is TO SUCK. Theyve embraced and this is proof.

There not bettering it this year. they already said it. Its about letting kids grow and getting good draft picks.

Trading 3 top prospects for Bobby Ryan spits in the face of all of that. Thats a move you make when your Ottawa, where you have to 1. save fa in the NHLce in the wake of the biggest loss in franchise history, and 2. you have the pieces to do it and he helps restore you to what you were.

Id love Ryan here, but it just wasnt going to happen. This was clearly a case of nepotism at its finest in the NHL

Im sure the non-Darcy people will be all over this, but I dont think there was any way any other team in the league was getting Bobby Ryan today other then the Ottawa Senators.

They were the team with the pieces and mind set to do it, they just lose the face of their franchise overnight, and you have a classic case of a brother helping another brother out.

Sucks that its Ottawa, but this was only happening for them and no other team
- CaptPantalones

Capt. I like your opinion. But do u work in the pr dept. for the sabres. The glass is half full today. Really

Id like to buyout our GM

- OneKaneOneCup

Yes, I'd absolutely rather have Silverberg (whose potential is a lot higher than that) over a defenseman who was an absolute disaster last season and is on the hook for 6 more years. Noesen isn't going to be a slug either.

Darcy never makes that treade though. Darcy would never trade 2 top prospects and a 1st rd pick for a star player. He wouldn't do it. He doesn't have the stones.
- truthbluth

and in about 85% of the cases, I dont blame him 1 bit

Isnt mcdavid 2015.... Two drafts from now?

I like how anytime someone goes somewhere thats not buffalo is only because darcy sucks at his job and not because it was never an option to begin with.

Dude, I'll take a plastic fork in return for Darcy to go anywhere.

I don't care about Ryan. The failure to move Miller to a team in need, and watching them sign below average goaltenders because the price was too high makes me nuts! I just can't take it anymore - grow a pair!!!

I'm sorry but the "SUCK" period just keeps continuing year after year and the excuses keep continuing year after year, it has to stop sometime and I'm afraid it won't until Darcy is gone. My opinion of course

#boycottbuffalo

Any takers?

- CaptPantalones

You've been the eternal optimist on this site for too long. I wish I could go back and find some of your quotes from the past.

Isnt mcdavid 2015.... Two drafts from now?
- JVince11

Correct, my mistake, but no way I give up a potential top 3 pick for inconsistant and at times "lackluster" Bobby Ryan.

Capt. I like your opinion. But do u work in the pr dept. for the sabres. The glass is half full today. Really
- hafgod

my glass is always half full. And yes I used to be employed by them, ive said that in the past.
