Bernier was a piece acquired when they sold off Campbell. Given that they were in the middle of a President's Cup run I'd consider that a piece for the playoffs, any player you add has to be considered that especially if you're surrendering your soon to be UFA PP QB.

That's why I include him.

Selling off Campbell was after Briere and Drury. Not a presidents cup run.

In all seriousness I believe you. I can't wait for him to continue to develop, 22 and he's a stud.

I would love to watch the games, I have the NHL TV package, great deal, but I have to wait 48 hours after the game to watch it.

Wish I wasn't so cheap, or regional sports would just abandon the dying platform of cable/satellite TV.

Use Reddit man, NHLSTREAMS all one word. You can get any game you want in full HD, home or away feed for every single team and game. Same with NFLSTREAMS for the NFL.

I don't think he comes up until next year. That slide room becomes more and more important as the Sabres cap gets tighter.

Really wish Vesey was in blue and gold right now. Oh well.

I'm pissed that Tim Murray didn't have a back up plan

Darcy was very good at finding hidden gems in the draft but not very good in the first round

I'm still waiting to see if Tim Murray finds a hidden gem but right now I don't see any

I was at the game last night and I think the atmosphere was pretty good considering how boring the game was. Let's get our guys back already. People are getting antsy for wins but I think we're doing alright. Not many teams are going to win with their top 2 centers out

I was not one of those people. I said all along he was going to be good.

Just because nothing happened doesn't mean he didn't have a plan. Even the best well laid plans don't always work out.

Eh, he wasn't worth the contract he was given by Chicago.

Losing your top 2 centers is a lot harder to handle IMO

I still say losing your top 2 centers hurt worse.

Soupy wasn't a #1 either. He was a better than Myers #2...I would have paid him the $5 million per though
