38.4% Fenwick, you could make a case for both sides here.

I have a different view on how the team should be built, it may very well be wrong but i am entitled to have that viewpoint.


- Sabresfan-365

we all have different views, and none of us have gm experience


which is why this place should be fun, not constantly bashing other poster's thoughts because they disagree with not

With all the bashing we do, I have never responded to someone's opinion with "get a new hobby"

You are bordering on HardHat level.

- sbroads24

That's fine with me, Hard Hat is a good guy and show some class and not talk about people when they aren't on the board.

a few more wins and the sabres will be on the sens ass and rangers ass while other teams continue to tumble in the standings


w/o a ten game losing streak soon, the dream of the top 2 picks will be almost dead

- homiedclown


Id rather enjoy the #1 all star and a few wins because a top 2 pick was dead when the non-joke teams decided to "tank".

yes you can, which is why it is up to murray to pick a clear path before the trade freeze
- homiedclown



Common ground achieved, question is which side does standing pat fall on. If the team is doing well, no sense messing with chemistry if you're unable to find a reasonable trade?

Gentle reminder / plea to talk less at each other and more with each other. Posting style debates will end badly for all involved.

Calgary is showing there is nothing wrong with playing hard, being managed well, and continuing to improve while your young players continue to improve. That said, there is no way to tell if that will end up with their current group getting a cup in the next few years, but there are multiple ways to achieve the ultimate goal, which is all that Homie, 89, and some others are saying.

Is Calgary good enough to beat LA, Chi, Ana, STL in a 7 game series?


This team has done teh magical run to 8th soooo many times. That used to be a running joke around here just 2 seasons ago. it is why we all wanted Darcy fired.

It usually is, naturally see a little more of it when the team is still on the outside looking in. I chalk it up to pre christmas stress and take none of it personally.

same for stewart and staff


call up the shaky goalie and get matt ellis with the big club


then tell nolan to give kaleta 18 minutes a night


that smells like a 3-17 run

You realize he is the #1 all-star because of a joke right? Or most people think that.

As they say, THIS. If the returns right now are not adequate, you wait until they are, and then when the deadline is approaching, you ship off those you think are not in your long term plans for the best return you have available at the time.

The thing about posting more, I end up with 20x shrill PMs from people (on both sides) telling me I'm a bully.

Makes the site fun.

Price of tea in China. Please just handle your side of moving on. Not saying that to be a bully, just I don't have time for anything else at the moment.

I moved south and had so many visions of playing golf more. I have played a total of 0 times since I moved in July.

- ImThatGuy


They are not now, however, they have been working in a bunch of young players since last season, and the team has shown a gradual improvement since the beginning of last year. Sounds like what this team is doing right now. If it continues, and the Sabres pick 7th or 8th, it's not the end of the world. It means GMTM will have to really earn his paycheck without the guarantee of one of the top 2.

He could also wait and maximize value on deadline day, still enough time to fall to the bottom *IF that's what he wants.

I suspect the media and potentially the NHL would be all over him if he moved Enroth in the middle of a win streak for draft picks and called up lieuwen.

Great point GMTM hasnt proven crap at this point and a #1 pick is too easy.
