The quantity of high draft picks clouded some people's perception of this organization.

The group of players that all had career years last season, led to the short sighted idea this could be built on.

The amateur approach of potential = talent and believing that is the solution to this teams problems, is only growing more clinically insane by the game.

The Owner and GM and coach went all in on this....majority of the hockey world went into the season with more questions than answers.

The GM then begins the season saying they will be fearless and they are ready to embrace expectations, after a piss poor off season.

The coach continues to use corporate speak, and has the backing of the GM, during what is clearly a mismanaged roster, who is unable to squeeze the juice out of any player.

The players are now publicly communicating the same problems that have plagued this organization for a decade.

They will blame injuries and youth, and remind people this season will be a learning lesson for this group.

Buy tickets....


There will be some trying to compare this roster to the Avalanche's bad season before they took off, which is laughable but it will happen. Kevyn Adams is not Joe Sakic.

coaches and management thought this team could sleepwalk into the 8th seed this season

the problem is the goal should be competing for a cup not trying to limp to the 8th seed


going after clifton, johnson and tokarski was a clear message they were more focused on the 8th seed than competing for a cup

Think we'll get a statement from the Sabres president saying this is unacceptable?

I’m not going to call out individual posters but the absolute worst takes I’ve seen on this board are:

1. Talent trumps everything, predictably followed immediately by team trumps everything

2. Somehow you have to not talk about glaringly obvious deficiencies until some arbitrary future date, coupled with also claiming that those observations are repetitive despite the fact that nothing has been done to address those deficiencies.

Mind-numbingly stupid. There are a number of posters here that need to suffer a moment or two of self-awareness, and apologize for being so painfully wrong.

sorry, im not saying he wouldnt be useful.

but we can't sit here and pretend the difference between a playoff spot and whatever the (frank) we need to watch every game is Anthony Duclair.

which kid has earned more than 10 minutes a game?

How do you know what the (frank) they have 'earned' when they only see the ice for 8 or 9 minutes and barely ever in the 3rd period?

It's not like they're being given real minutes for multiple games.

they weren't ready in october and they're not ready now.

kulich wasn't given an actual opportunity but rosen has.

>>> It’s the same team but they don’t do the offense anymore.

Guess that’s what happens WHEN YOU BRING THE SAME TEAM BACK.

The concern is the XGF per 60 and GF per 60 are still super far apart. The scoring could come down even more. Yikes.

I only have a few games left in me as a fan of watching the poopshow the on ice product has been.

I'll be a Golden Knights fan soon, and I am fan of Eichel, but at least that team's entire management and ownership is solely focused on a real commitment to winning.

Where's D!ck Aroma...?
