I wonder if the canes would give up a haul for ROR
- Sabresfan-365




Seriously?
I'm sure they "want to give up a haul" for a guy who's overpaid and is a -17.

We our all fans , but really? Ror is leading us to 31st place

Duchene had 41 pts and was a -34 for the tire fire Avs last year. You'd probably have to take salary back but they wouldn't have trouble getting good value in the deal.

man i hope you don't run into reinhart on the street, not sure you'd be able to keep yourself from just letting him have it

He'd be like Turtle on Entourage when he met Tom Brady. Spends the whole episode saying how much he's going to tell him to (frank) off, and then when he actually meets him he's making dinner plans.

I challenge the board to decide who is "bitter"

The poster who hopes for good performances over and over and over and over.

Or the one who has done nothing but complain about suck and burn it down for the last three years.

That's one of my favourite episodes.

"what does this guy do again?"

"I'm on a hit series Tom. Same one as the superbowl!" *shanks his drive way right*

Im old and bitter...they will be too when they are my age, having rooted for these teams for 40 some-odd years with only a handful of good years to show for it.
Bu5 hey, all the young kids who haven’t done anyth8ng yet are so much more knowledgeable than everyone else

They just don’t know what they don’t know?

Old enough to remember Gil getting picked #1

Man, Eichel is seeing his name and reputation dragged through the dirt much like Hall's was. Stay strong, boys! Edmonton was just there two years ago (and is kinda back there again). Just don't freak out and trade all your good players.

Blow it out your ass, pal!

But seriously, it's funny how people think that we're somehow special. That we don't have to go through a prolonged period to get good. We're in year 3 of trying to win. And people are talking about championship teams, they want to skip the make the playoffs, miss the playoffs, go farther in the playoffs, disappoint, disappoint, maybe miss the playoffs, and then contenders.

But panicking and demanding trades this instant to salvage an already lost season and ruin the draft position is what we do.

Panicking? We have just scored 1 goal in the last 4 games.

It’s not panicking, they need to do something

No, and please don’t ever compare Sam Reinhart to Tom Brady.

It would be like me talking poop to Ryan Leaf

The whole thing making, missing, making... People are talking "this is what a championship team needs, why don't we have it?" expecting to already have everything we need. And then female dog that we suck.

Like it or not Reinhart is famous. And even if he wasn't people like to run their mouths when there are no consequences.

Why? Like I said, to salvage the playoffs, they're out already, no trade will make that happen. It's more important that they stay the course on the tank and get the best d-man possible. They need to rotate prospects up here and get them understanding what NHL play is like. They really need to get bad contracts off this team and Gorges will be done at the end of the season. Moulson can be bought out. But, yeah, if they can swing a trade to move Okposo, I'm listening.

i mean, depends.

If it's a miracle run to 8th type of team, yeah i'll skip that. Dont need any illusions about the players on the team.

If it's a young core that can get better over time i'll take it

I'd do something not for making the playoffs but to just get some of the younger guys here out of their funk. or to increase the trade value of some of these other players.

Im pro tank but this is just ugly

I don’t think the Sabres are special. And no on3 on here was expecting championships
What we were expecting is to have an uptempo, bubble team...nayb3 in, maybe not.
Now, the Sabres are in 31st place and are playing at a level that will fall short of the Tank years when the organization was TRYING TO LOSE!

We have gone through what 4 years already to find out we are back at square 1 to start unloading players, securing “currency”, so in another 2 years we can be “clean” and ready to begin ascending the ranks. It ain’t 3 years.

Meanwhile, Toronto, Carolina, NJ, Winnipeg ran by them.

Yep, the fans are delusional.

Jesus Christ.
