So Ragland is going to be out for the year. That's promising

Okposo will join a growing group of young, but supremely talented core of forwards in Buffalo, and will add scoring punch to an offense that ranked 25th league-wide in goals for with 199 last season.

If you think that's a power forward, you will be disappointed

Having a 2nd MRI because the first is inconclusive. Just a guess, but I bet it's pretty serious

Yeah 2nd MRI is never good because if the first one is clear there's no need for a 2nd. Something happened to me where I'm all in with the sabres (despite Kane) and not as much into the bills. Still will watch then but im more of all in on the sabres with a bills problem

As bad as the Sabres have been, they had a plan and are on the rise

The Bills seem stuck in mediocrity forever, and still have no answers.

I was so disappointed when they "unveiled" the new ones when they moved from Atlanta. ie the most boring jerseys in the league.

But these are magnificent.

Did the person who came out with the Sabres 3rd jersey from 2015 get fired? Those were the worst - ever.

Correct sir and they lucked a bit into getting Taylor who has been good.

My guess is a torn meniscus. Surgery and outna month or two, so he'll be back around the time Lawson comes back. This mY be the worst lb group in the history of football and I'm exaggerating only a little

Doug Whaley drafts Lawson who was hurt, gets roasted for it
Doug Whaley moves up using a 4th for Ragland, gets roasted (Mike Schopp)

Tim Murray trades for an injured player, gets glorified
Tim Murray trades a 3rd to talk to someone who won't sign until he's a UFA regardless, gets glorified

This isn't to criticize Murray, it's just amazing how 16 years of losing makes the opinion of Whaley so polarizing

Not saying whether anything is good or bad but a 4th in the NFL is way more important than a 3rd in the NHL, IMO.

I get that, but it was a 4th traded for Ragland. I just think it's funny how it's almost just a reflex to criticize any move made by the Bills....they have made it too easy

Ragland was a great pick

That's your mistake right there bud

I don't care what he says. I'm just talking about the perception of the two

Agree, I think a large part of that is the perception of players. Buffalo is clearly the dog house of the NFL, while in The NHL it is mediocre and rising. Plus Mr. Wilson was an OK owner, but Mr. Pegula ranks with the best. That is the one hope for change the Bills have.
