these moves were made to compete for a playoff spot on a regular basis starting next season

we are nowhere near that place 10 months out

Here's what I really miss.

If 89 were here, we would have an idea what's going on in the front office.

Right now, it's like there is an information vaccuum - certainly those loads from the Buffalo News aren't breaking any stories.

this was murrays kick at getting what he believed was a goalie that could be great. if it doesnt work, so what?
- rover16

Tied in with all of his other deals that aren't working out so well, it's more than "so what" to me.
If Darcy made these moves he would be run out of town.
Murray's body of work is adding up, and it's not adding up to much at the moment.

Wrong usage.

And so far that plus 1 gain has really gotten us no where.
- sbroads24

So the team is doomed because after 40 games and the addition of 1 core piece to the roster, they are done.

Gotcha.

Sorry for sensibly thinking this team would be a whopping 4-5 spots higher than they are right now (a difference of 5-6 points on the half season).

Guess standing pat with all those prospects and no addition to the team's core would have been a much better move and this place would be quiet and praising Murray for his lack of moves and trust in prospects to build the future.

Simply love that show.
Bought the entire collection.
Still watch it.
Uncle Arthur was the best!

I try to avoid that.

that would be the other approach

ennis plus for fowler


if they keep the pick, draft the winger
- homiedclown

That is why I make no moves, aside from trading someone like McGinn or Legwand for a pick at the deadline, until I know the draft pick the team has for sure.

where is 89?

No, and no one said it was.

There is always a ton of middle ground that gets flown over on these boards.

Being worried or disappointed does not equate to thinking we are doomed.

I have never once said fire Murray, or trade anyone.

And we hated Darcy, rightfully so, for his meandering and often glacial approach for making big moves.

Now we hate the current guy because he is the total opposite.

My point of view is I will not be disappointed in this team unless the exact same results, meaning record, are showing a year from now.

If they hit the halfway mark of 2016-2017 season almost at the bottom of the NHL, then there is a big, big problem.

I'm saying the first ... also, FWIW, he still needs to bulk up more. He's gettting pushed of pucks and losing alot of puck battles.

But, Importantly, I'll repeat: I WOULD NOT MOVE HIM.








I'm sure that "a lot"of the time you do.
