Perhaps after GMJB is done cheering on his beloved Penguins, and after their presumptive parade and the ensuing party and hangover, he can finally get around to trying to make the Sabres better.

Darcy lasted 17 years
Murray lasted 3 1/2 years
At this pace, GMJB might be fired by July

Not a moment too soon. Then we can finally get on with the business of hating the next guy!

I heard they have a plan C for head coach but Tocchet and Housley are plans A and B


same for Florida

watch them draft Owen Tippett or Martin Necas

Tippett at 8 is a steal

Panthers would seem to be a more desirable destination for a new HC. Personally, I'd rather not end up with Tocc.

If the Sabres take Calle Makar at 8, is everyone gonna flip out because he's 5'10" 175lbs?
- PrinceChill



I kinda hope he goes before us
He seems like a boom or bust type player
And at the very least,
he'll need a few years to develop & add weight

Liljegren might end up being a great pick for us
He's only really fallen bc he missed time w mono
Was ranked #2 to start the season for a reason

I remember that, kinda why I'd like TL too. I highly doubt the Sabres will be taking the first defenseman, probably more like 3rd. Heiskanen is also what some would consider undersized.

That's not accurate. His performance at the pro level was mediocre at best and even after he was cleared to play he was left off the WJ team. It's why heiskanen took his spot in the draft charts. If anyone is boom/bust it's him

Would you love it or hate it? Or love it at first, then end up hating it later? How would you personally rank this year's Dmen?

Yeah... he had a hard time when he returned bc of his mono
Lost weight & strength

Played well towards the end of the season
Liljegren might be the safest bet to be a sure fire top4 guy in the whole draft

American Gods is so good. All of you should be watching it. That is all.

Is Tocchet "A" and Housley "B" at this point?
Or are they just the front runners going in?

I'm not going to buy it

I just think the concept of printing new stuff on old beat up shirts is really cool

- chilliard77



Man, I have a ton of old beat up t-shirts. They are in mens sizes though, not 8 year old girls or heroin chic sizes like the website.

How do you have the D-men ranked? Seems like Liljgren has really fallen because of his mononucleosis. Is Heiskanen generally seen as ahead of Makar or the other way around?
- PrinceChill


I've seen Heiskanen at 3 after Nico and Patrick.

Edit: Hatty.

If the Stars stay at 3, they'd be wise to take whoever they feel is the top defenseman.

- Wetbandit1



I'd say Chychrun is the more accurate comparison
Day had a couple of entire seasons where he didn't play well
I think the death of his brother really messed him up
He's got talent though,
so he could be a guy down the road who ends up a good NHLer

I'd be happy with Liljegren at 8

If we take another forward my head might explode! Hahaha
Although Tippett would be tempting if he's still there
