Second, you say this like it is a fact and you just want to throw him away.

Hell of a way to build a team

Eichel, Mittlestadt, Reinhart,

Dahlin, Risto, Guhle, Ullmark


You can build with that. All other players are complimentary players, in my opinion.

Av’s pushed out Duchene and Ror and got tremendously better. Both teams they moved sank to the bottom.

Gmtm gambled that anchors would turn into sails, failed. Start over

we need an improvement on wing and goalie pretty badly

We could have the best defenseman in the NHL on our roster next year.

Still feels like a dream

We could be talking about Norris trophies for real ( not Myers fake ones )

There's some extreme views on both sides of the ROR argument. I personally believe part of his inflated salary is for leading, which I don't think he is doing well enough. His even strength scoring is of a 3rd line caliber, even though his overall scoring is great for a 2nd line center. Unfortunately, most of the game, and the best teams, play at even strength. The Sabres are God awful in this category.

I personally wouldn't trade him without getting our definition of great value in return. Replacing his short term value won't be that easy, but I believe it should be a priority to make this team better in the long term.

is fasching the most disappointing prospect of the last 10 years?

Alex Nylander looks primed to take a run at it

Don't worry we're going to be a very fast team

That's all Botterill been talking about "speed "

The question is what players he's looking at

I remember the playoffs for the Sabres and Bills like a favorite store that went out of business or a food that went out of production. Fond memories, but you know it's most likely never coming back.

I'm hoping by some miracle Ryan O'Reilly has the best tournament ever and the Montreal Canadiens are open to trading the third pick for a package deal

Stop by anytime, it will continue to be the topic of the day. We won the draft lottery in case anyone didn't know.

I think Fasching played some decent hockey up on the big club before he got hurt. Can carve out a role as a Foligno type 4th liner but I think that’s the best case scenario at this point.
