Let it go man. In 2 years he will be scoring 10-15 goals, 40-50 points and leading us into the post season.

This team is historically bad, people are angry he didnt do more as a 20-21 year old. When we are good, people will realize how good he and a few others are.

We need some decent players to stick around.

I doubt he gets you a 1st either. His value is probably lower than the 2nd we gave up for him

I wouldn't trade him either bcz he is decent and wouldn't garner much in return.

Josh gorges is not what a playoff team needs. He tries hard and blocks shots and doesn't play up much but he's a small defensive dman. He's perfect for us. Is decent and raises our cap up enough to be above the floor.

When did you get the idea I was not happy with Myers? But the stats prove again he is our best regardless of the haters think.

I'm a huge myers supporter but he's got to be better on the pp. I know Carolina has some of the best penalty killers in the league but c'mon man. Loved that bone cruncher behind our net. Monster hit.

Yotes won. If we lose to Tampa and Detroit we could be 8 or 9 points behind everyone not named Carolina or Edmonton.

Anybody watching the Rangers Kings game? The Rangers are seriously fun to watch. They are constantly attacking, like an onslaught or tidal wave. Reminds me of the last time the Sabres were a loaded team. I really hope they can be that way again.

Whoa, was just thinking the same


It's one of the things i worry about the rebuild tbh. I'm not a born and raised hockey fan so for me the whole stingy, New Jersey devils 1-3-1 way of winning just doesn't cut it for me.

I don't want to win the cup because we bored the other 29 teams and their fanbases to sleep. I want us to be the team everyone loves to watch. The current rangers are skilled and fast, we really lack the latter at the moment. Hopefully they address that soon.

It doesn't hurt that their 2 best players basically publicly demanded to be traded there. New Jersey still had awesome players when they won those cups. Back in the day Colorado trapped more than any other team but they had an almost unstoppable pp.

Only if we get a 1st or a top Goalie prospect
Or maybe we add a pick or prospect & Enroth/Neuvirth to get back a young NHL goalie like Allen or Gibson?

That's true and yes New Jersey still had awesome players (as you would need to win a cup). I use New Jersey as the example because they seem to be the one most refer too . I was far too young to remember to what extent they scored vs just played stifling defense and how great each player was but in general i remember them being a snoozefest for me and a lot of others. As a more recent example, that Devils-Kings cup final I watched maybe 2 periods (1st game 1, 3rd game 7).

I won't try to diminish the success they had as I realize what it takes to be that disciplined and sound on defense but the fact that even today it's the butt end of every neutral zone trap joke says a lot. It's sounds like a lot to ask for but I don't want the sabres to just win the cup, i want them to be entertaining as well. To the point where they're so good and fun to watch that nobody in their wildest dreams could try and put an asterisk on the win.
