I want no part of him, the clown and the ape do, the ape that flips people off all the time. He's very rude

well we have already lost 3. Plus I'm sure Mezz, Benoit, Mitchell will be gone as well. That's 6 players not coming back. Plus probably Stewart and Neuvirith.

Also got to make room for McEichel "hopefully", Reinhart, Pysyk, Grigs, and Kane
- Smittyx36

You understood me. Jr. didn't.

serious question

how is the product on the ice better now then it was in the fall?



what areas have the team improved?

how is the effort from this team compared to the fall?
- homiedclown

none of that matters except gettting McEichel.

See, he's a good guy..................................

jackets fan! cool, really cool. so u guys are real. wow!
- wingz4life

Only since they stopped having to play in your division when they finally got out of the west...oh wait.

P.S. My 3 Favorite teams are Buff, Colorado and C-Bus. Or as Garf calls them the JAX.

pass

my guess is an older guy for 2 years
- homiedclown

I just don't see anyone really available.

The NHL is not the most exciting when it comes to player movement.




I wish it was more like baseball where top player are on the move every time.

Sharp, the Hawks may be in cap trouble

According to Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News, the Sabres will reportedly pursue Luke Richardson for their head coaching job.

Ted Nolan hasn't been fired yet, but it's expected that he will be and the current head coach of the Binghamton Senators could be his replacement. Nolan probably won't be let go until after the 2014-15 campaign.

If this does end up ringing true its a huge mistake.

Not just that, but it makes Murray and Pegula look like some pretty huge douchebags.

Hire a guy so he can take the fall, while the guy that orchestrated putting this poopty roster together with all of his wasted moves this past summer that Teddy has been forced to coach is let go?

The guy that wants to stand in front of the media and act like he is shocked at what a bad team this is, or how bad it is?

He should know, he brought Gorges, Neuvirth, Benoit, Meszaros , Strachan in here to be this bad, and just let his best goalie leave to bring in another waste of roster space in Lindbach.

(frank)ing hypocrite scumbag son of a female dog.

If Nolan is not given next season with a roster not set up to fail by the GM, i'll never respect the guy, ever.

It's a piece of poop move if indeed happens.

I can't even stand the nerve and arrogance of that beady eyed (frank) for placing all the blame on Nolan and none besides in a "matter of fact manner during the interview" on himself.

I can't even wrap my head around this and the arrogance of that fool.
- BuffaloHardHat

I think you are taking this too far. Nolan has 3 years left on contract, so they would still owe him that even if fired, so don't feel too bad. A guy getting paid to do nothing for 3 years? Seriously, did you think Nolan can coach talented players and do well? It is widely known that he does not know his X & O's at all. So it would really only make sense for the team and our players future.

Nolan was not Murray's guy at all and the contract extension was to put extra cash in his pocket and to stay on this year. I am sure Nolan had an idea of the plan then.

How exactly did we help them last year with all of those picks?

The trade was last year....Not that we helped their play LAST YR

too many years left on his deal
- SABRES 89

So richards with 4 years left was a hell no but lets go get Dustin Brown and his 7 years at 5.875 mil is a go?

I sometimes do not get this place.

- homiedclown

This is a set up between the clown and the ape.......................... Navin told me about people like you.

Or maybe Nolan just isn't that good of a coach and was brought in here for that reason........
- ImThatGuy

Funny that he has won everywhere he has been.

I know just ignore the facts.

I know I will hear about Hasek for the millionth time.
We know what he did here previously, which was win but he didn't do that right because he had Hasek.
He won with the Islanders.
He coached team Latvia that had no place hanging around with team Canada in the Olympics, and scare the hell out of them.
Nolan led the Greyhounds to the three consecutive Memorial Cup tournament berths, winning the Canadian national junior championship in 1993.

Never said it was a good idea, but I could see it happening.

I FEEL SORRY FER ALL U NOLAN LOVERS TRULY I DO I MEAN THAT SINCERELY

He's got a NTC
- Cptmjl

Screw that he will go and like it

so kane was playing with a broken foot , broken hand plus the shoulder thing

holy poop that's a beast

Give it a break with the love fest for Nolan. He chose to resign here. The team is worse than it was last year. Nolan can go and no one besides the obsessed Nolan fans of the early 90s will care.

Bring in a coach that knows how to actually coach NHL players....

This.

I am not saying they will be a playoff team next year but they could be knocking at the door.

Kane, McEichel, Reinhart and I still think there will be another top 6 player here next year that is not on the roster currently.

That and a new coach and you will see something happening here.

2015-2016 Season could be a playoff season could finish just outside looking in
2016-2017 Season will be a playoff team at the very least
- Stripes77

While it’s not impossible for a team that finishes last overall to make the playoffs the next year, it requires a hell of an improvement. With what the sabres currently have on the roster and how young their prospects are, I just don’t see it as at all reasonable to think they would be improving that much next year. Nelson, Lee and Strome took a year or two in the ahl for us before they showed improvement, dehaan took 3 and a half years, we got lucky Halak was available and we scooped him, and boychuk and leddy were fantastic deals. We also already had Tavares and Okposo, and signed Grabovski and Kulemin. We also were a playoff team the year before last.

To be as bad as the sabres right now, without a current top line player in the lineup… I just don’t see it next year. Maybe the year after you might be knocking on the door, but there's a lot of pieces you need and they need to be NHL ready
