At least someone was playing some good hockey in Buffalo...apparently.

Buffalo Beauts win NWHL Championship

Something Paul Hamilton said aggravated me. When talking about the Sabres getting Fowler he said "I don't know if Folwer would be as good on the Sabres as he is the Ducks".

This isn't supposed to be a talking point anymore. We aren't intentionally a bad team. We have some forwards, need D men that can play. I'm not a Folwer fan, but he wouldn't be on the 14-15 Sabres.

Honestly, I think the area that's been the biggest disappointment for me this season is the PK. They really need to address that. For as good as our PP has been, our PK has been the complete opposite.

It may sound weird, but in the offseason they need to go out and find a Legwand type guy.

Brian Boyle?

Not sure what he'll get in free agency and I don't want them overpaying a guy for that. There's plenty of them out there that are good at it and cheap.

I agree.

I think a player with his size and PK ability would be ideal though.

Hanzal would be good, but expensive also.

Are we bad yet?

maybe they can swing a trade with ducks for Antoine Vermette and a D man before expansion draft

If we can get him at $1M, I'm all for it.

Or if we can get Nate Thompson in free agency. As long as his shoulders are repaired.

The Ducks are pretty stacked at Center so they may let Thompson walk.

I'd go 2.5 for a 1 year deal

he has been a value player in a cap era

I'm willing to pay that player more if they also are going to be a regular contributor in other ways. But if they're going to be a 4th line grinder that only gets generally 8 mins a night, I don't want that guy at anything over $1MM at this point.

Just listened to it ............. I didn't get anything close to those assumptions.

Listen to it again. On demand S & the BD hr 4, right around 11 minutes remaining. Brings Sam into it and says individuals need to handle their issues player to player or player to coach. The audio doesn't lie.

Coaching matters. Number one move is a new coach this offseason. Since Bylsma learned nothing in his time off from the NHL for a year and is unwilling to change from his system that doesn't play to our players strengths.

I'll lose all confidence in Murray if he sticks with Bylsma.
