I'm expecting Ryan O'Reilly to be gone in the summer especially when Terry was pissed about his comments

Oh my god this place has been a broken record for going on 15+ months

Jdfitz, we get it already.

Sabres89, they all stink, we know.

Derk, you stopped drinking and we aren't far away

Gerbe the sky IS falling, really, it is

Broads, Myers is gone dude, let it go

Everyone else, we get it, seriously, no need to repeat yourselves day in and day out.

The fact of the matter is, this team is historically bad for going on almost 5 years now, has been incompetently managed from the owner down, has a plethora of underachievers that most of the fanbase defends but some of the fanbase laments the signing of and very few call it like it is: They haven't made a dingle-berry's worth of a difference and constantly make excuses for their own crappy play which perfectly mirrors the fanbase as a majority (just go on the Sabres reddit and say ROR is an overpaid cry-ass, I DARE you).

There is NO EXCUSE for the current state of the team, there is NO EXCUSE to not have a captain, there is NO EXCUSE to have been the first team to finish 31st in NHL history, this WAS NOT an intentional tank year, we ARE this bad.

Eichel can only do so much. ROR admitted he quit on the season. Okposo is mediocre like some of us said he was, injuries or not. Lehner is a tank on skates. Johnson is a delusional, career back-up. Ristolainen has reached his ceiling. Reinhart only plays half the season. Pominville is as vanilla as ever and ageing fast. Scandella is woefully inconsistent. Kane was NOT the problem. Rodriguez was a pleasant surprise. Nelson made leaps and bounds but has a long way to go. Too many young players were benched or buried on the 4th line or in Rochester, a team that made the playoffs NOT because of our prospects, but because the majority of the team is composed of career AHL'ers. The rest of the team are fringe NHL'ers on what has become the NHL farm team, ladies and gentleman, your Buffalo Sabres.

At least this is Hockey Heaven. Or is that still a thing?

Bring on the #2 pick.

That'd be funny if he released that information but he's a general manager that does things behind the scenes

Like I think we all can confirm on the site that Larrson probably said hey get me the (frank) out of here and he probably just opened up the door

Plenty did with their play. The only bottom 6 players I expect back are Erod, Wilson and Girgs. The last one is a mistake imo, but Housley seems to love him
