Not that anyone cares (I think) but Don Waddell couldn't make a deal with Sabres AGM Steve Greeley (likely a pay issue) so he'll stay on as Carolina GM in the near future and Greeley sticks with us.

I was actually hoping he wouldn't get/take the job I like our GMs how they are right now. They seem to be moving in the right direction. Now when it comes to the coaching staff, I think Jason and Phil need to get rid of few people there and bring in some better, more experienced coaches. I wouldn't mind bringing Ruff back as some sort of Assistant just not sure he would want to come to Buffalo with someone else being Head Coach after he was head coach for so long.

I get the sentiment behind Ruff, but I just don't think you can do that.

I just want the 7th pick from Vancouver.

Then I want to package that with Jake McCabe and Alex Nylander to get up to 3 from Montreal and draft Zadina

- sbroads24


So basically...
O’Reilly, Nylander & McCabe for #3
Don’t u think that’s a lot?

Maybe not since Nylander hasn’t developed as quickly as we’d like, but that’s definitely selling low on him

Love the idea of going after pick #3 though
Montreal’s GM has gotta be desperate
He’s toast if they don’t make they playoffs next season

How about Lindy for Team President?
He can be a buffer between Pegula & Botts
Maybe be a voice of reason if T pegs tries getting more involved than he should?

He was just an assistant in NY. And they didn't fire him to my knowledge. Which means if there was any possibility he'd be behind the bench in Buffalo, NYR would need to release him.

Now we got to figure out how to get back in the top 10 and somehow move into 4 or 3 .

Maybe Ottawa would do a deal with us

Ristolainen,nylander for 4th , Hoffman

Sam for noah hanifin

ROR for 7th ,Christopher Tanev

Removing one more quality top 4 dman for a guy who may be as good in 4 years? Neat.

The more I think about it, I'm guessing Svech has a bigger impact in his rookie season over Dahlin. But I think i'd still take Dahlin over him. How many times do you get to draft a kid like Dahlin ? Never ? Take him, but it's gonna hurt watching Svech score a ton of goals in Carolina.

He's not my boy. He's a fine player and we need guys like him. But if Botts wants the turn around to be short, the defense needs to get better, not worse.

Your getting a player that his offensive game is compared to the likes of Erik Karlsson and the defensive game of Nicholas Lindstrom

He can score all he wants it would not Shock Me if he's one of those defenseman that scores 30 a year plus a Norris Trophy vote

Allen under center, takes the snap...
The rush is on with a 6 man blitz...
Allen looks to dump off to Shady in the right flat, just outside the heavy rush coming at him...
Shady?, where is Shady?.??

Seems Shady didn’t listen to the coach, the QB nor the play book...
He didn’t chip, nope he ran a streak down the left sideline.

The Bills turnover the ball with 1 minute 8 seconds left, down 20 to 21 against the Pats....
Brady runs out the clock.
Brady awards his game ball to Shady for playing his own system.
