Calm down man..... They are going 6-10 regardless. Just let the disappointment roll off you in time to watch the Sabres suck

This franchise has been one questionable move after another for going on 15 years now.

No doubt our team is still a bit too young and I'd say that's the one thing Coller (and I) really didn't account for. But aside for perhaps lack of experience I think the point is still valid.

Sort of. I don't think Moulson/Hodgson/Ennis/Staff/Stew compare to the Carter/Gaborik/ Williams/ Browns of the world

Not to mention the Toffoli/Pearson combo

However, without Doughty, their blue line is mediocre. I would take Myers over Muzzin or Voynov. (and I could care less what their corsi is )

I bet if Myers played with Doughty his corsi would look at least equal to or better than those guys. But again part of the reason our group doesn't compare to theres is because we don't have those two. Not saying they would be exactly as good even with a #1c and d but they'd definitely be in the same conversation.

According to a league source, the #Bills and LS Garrison Sanborn have just finalized a 3-year extension. Keeps him here through 2017.



Whew.

Thank God.

All these people complaining about the Bills and I'm just here thinking about how good the Sabres' prospects will be after the 2015 draft.

My question is... When we hit the final 53 man roster do you think the bills will have the cap space to afford to have kept Bird with a franchise tag and Levitre?

“Buffalo, and even Rochester, are going through a different phase, if you want to call it that,” McNabb explained. “They’re stuck on their identity, and the Kings have a solid identity. They know how to win. They’re a winning organization from top to bottom. That’s the biggest difference—the mentality.”

Although McNabb did not say it, specifically, the implication could not be clearer: that there is a tremendous difference in attitude, among other things, between franchises that are winners and those that are not—after so many years of misery, for the Kings, the skate boot is now on the other foot, so to speak.



Shots fired?

He's absolutely correct. That being said, he's not going to be anywhere near great.

I don't disagree with his assessment but saying they're stuck on their identity is a bit childish. It's young team trying to rebuild their image through the draft, it's pretty clear actually.

His statement basically screams im upset because i wasn't good enough to make the cut on a last place team.

Stuck on identity ironically would have been during McNabb's glory days here when they tried that whole tough guy attitude and forgot that whole skill bit.

He's a 5-6 guy at best and I said it 2 years ago when people thought he was going to be our #1 someday.

Would he even be in our top 15 prospects today?
