This message board is ridiculous. I state an opinion that I dislike how the Sabres have conducted trades, and I become personally attacked. When I defend myself against these attacks, I get side-swiped with a claim that I engaged in that practice.

This place is like the Disney version of Fascism, agree with our collective narrative, kiss our butts or else!

sabres overpaid for all 3 trades

I think trades had to be made, I just think Murray has sort of a skewed view on value.

if we are a bottom 4 team this year, IMO Murray is on the hot seat

yup, but that pick might be the only way to fix some of the issues with the team.

Hossa for Weber and McGinn. And what the hell, I'm feeling generous, a 5th in 2019.

rw's I would like

Kyle Okposo (rental)
Nino Niederreiter
Jannik Hansen (fast)

yup, but that pick might be the only way to fix some of the issues with the team.

If that's the case I suggest finding a new team then cuz that'd be really bad news


I'm sold he will become that, but i won't say he is right now. Just 21 years old, still lots of ups and downs. Prior to that leafs game he was playing very well.

That fan base (all 5 of them) once thought Hedman was a bust as well.

I knew he was going to be really good his third year

I hope risto takes that step this year

Isn't this technically his 2nd full year? (split his time with rochester that first one)

I've liked what i've seen so far, helps that the team isn't a total mess either.

I expected better results on pp (flow) and more goals scored


when you bring in 2 fringe first line players and grab eichel, IMO the players slotted down a line should have more of an impact playing against lesser talent

I'm not seeing it from girgens, larsson, gionta

I am impressed with foligno and deslauriers


when bogo comes back, I expect this team to gel a bit more, maybe open it up a little

Defensively i've liked those two. I've chalked the lack lustre powerplay up to chemistry. Top 3 forwards played for 3 different teams last year, i'll give it a few more games before i lose my poop.

Jeez, I hadn't opened cookie clicker in probably a year. I went to the site today and it still remembers me (hahah, internet cookies FTW!!)

- Sabresfan-365

Yeah, I know. That post was for everyone else.

One big omission - replace Eichel with Dylan Strome, because, without the Kane trade last year we probably don't finish in last??
- turbo044

Does Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford give us 2 more wins? I don't think so. But it's an interesting thought.

if we are a bottom 4 team this year, IMO Murray is on the hot seat
- homiedclown

Work with me, Holmes. This is a simple mystery. Murray hired Jan 9, 2014, when Pegula hit the "reset" button on the franchise. It goes back to what he told us from the beginning.

"Winning is not a goal, it is a belief," Pegula continued. When asked about the time frame to win a Stanley Cup, he later stated "It's a three-year or less process."

Murray has until 2017. That's why the prospects and picks are going for established talent. It's not just Murray - its the business model.

1. I don't care about today. But in two or three years, yes I do think they all make the team better.
2. Whether or not they make the team better does not justify massively overpaying for a trade.
3. Zadorov and grigo/armia struggling right now justifies why the trades weren't overpayments, but kane and orielly struggling to put up any stats has no bearing to the conversation because it is only six games in.

This board is a self contradicting hypocritical group of sycophants who are here more to socialize with like-minded homers than to give any real truthful fair analysis of anything. There are many who this does not apply to. All the rest of you know who you are.
