Tristan Luneau looks to be the real deal
- homiedclown


Yeah, major ouch. Everyone was screaming for him. Boston is going to make a HOFer out of Poitras too. Don't even get started on Lane Hutson.

I hear ya, but 13 years of losing will make dull boys of us all. We just need to differentiate between frustration with the team and hatred of each other. The animosity, in my experience, comes from the former. We're all Sabres fans at the end of the day and I'd be lucky to sit next to y'all at the arena...I'm constantly sat next to the "shoot" guy.

The one time Adams drafted for need over BPA and he pissed down his leg
- Swedish_Jesus

lol drafted for need.

There was a need to take a 2nd rd goalie who wouldn’t be ready for 5-7 years?

Nope, the meme’s from this summer broke the morons in here, they have yet to recover.

poop, I need to recover, I'm still floored we're this bad. Had too high of hopes for Cozens, Petey, Krebs and Quinner making up for some of the lost offense. We're basically seeing low production from everyone on the team outside Mitts and JJP.

They got bullied last year and the GM brought back a younger softer team. It was so obvious, to think Adams plan would work is to disrespect the caliber of talent (at all positions) in the NHL.

I blame Terry for putting the wrong people in positions for the simple reason of them being yes men.

The players here are talented, the prospects have potential, that does not equate to a good hockey team. No type of math you quants want to try to use can solve that.

The GM and coach who thinks he’s the GM have failed miserably, and people were ready to promote Adams….it was a wild summer of blinding hype.

I want them to be great, they are years away from even good.

"Retired goalie Craig Anderson, who was hired as a hockey liaison by the team in October, was on the ice at the skate to take shots while Comrie manned the other net."

UPL was graduated, Levi was close to it.

At the time of the selection there was nothing in the pipeline.

Ratzlaf was added this past draft to supplement, and we’ll see him at the WJC at the end of the month

Can't argue with anything but the last part. With the parity in this league, you can go from loser to winner in an offseason.

Bingo! We didn’t address this at all. Maybe he thought Clifton would bring some, but resigning Jost, Okposo, Girgensons was a huge miss on an opportunity to spend the same and bring in some nasty

Could've gotten Leinonen much later though. We definitely needed to add to the goalie pipeline, but reaching heavy in one of the worst goalie drafts in recent years isn't justifiable either. Ratzlaff is doing fairly well I read, but the Thunderbirds are a ghost of the team they were last year so his save percentage doesn't make it seem that way.

I didn’t like the selection at all, I’m just saying that the intent was absolutely to add a player to the pipeline that wasn’t there

Last game I went to I started throwing out a random "SHOOOOT" as the Sabres exited their own zone. I like to think it keeps them on their toes

Probability says that one of these years, it will end. You and I may be worm food by then, but even monkeys will write Shakespeare if given enough attempts.

I really hope I hear you, then see Skinner take a clapper from the far blue. I will start advocating for you as Granato's replacement and everything will be right in the world.
