No question. I suppose there is no point doing it now.

I think he's got to move out Reiger, too. Doing that now means no GM at the TDL. Let Darcy try to get assets for the UFAs and dump both as soon as the horn sounds after game 82.

I think Pegula cleans house as soon as their season is over.

They were 10-5-1 when Miller got run by the Gorilla. Since then they have been bad.

I think that is exactly the thinking. I wonder if they are going to have a fire sale. They have some useful pieces they can move.

I certainly think Schenn is trending in the right direction, but again its just a slower progression for the majority of D men.
How much better would Schenn look right now if he was on a different team, with a different system and different linemates?
same thought as this kid on the knicks.

This Lin stuff is crazy. The Yellow Mamba!

MSG network had to issue an apology for running a graphic with Lin's picture above a broken fortune cookie.

They got the new owner last year... and in his first year this happens?

If I were him. Later Ruff. Later Regier(?). Later everybody.

I would be selling hard. Not a single person is untouchable. Nobody, and Id make it be known.

I'm loving seeing the sabres poop the bed. Just for the fact that many of the fans were so smug at the beginning of the season. How much better than the flyers they would be.
When one of your marquee off season acquisitions is Leino it may be time for a reality check.
Leino is a complimentary player at best.

How about Floyd Mayweather. What a dope. "Its only because he is asian that he is getting this attention. If it were a black player, black players do it all the time."

Leino got a handsome contract based on 19 playoff games. There is no other body of work on his resume. Not to mention he has a chronic hip injury

I think they do as well.
maybe they could move him to chicago for some forward depth?
just not that many teams looking for a goaltender and there is no one else on the roster I would like to part with right now to upgrade the forward depth.
Having all this inexperience at forward going into the playoffs scares me.

Floyd is a great talent, but he sure says a lot of stupid stuff. I think he said that partly thinking it would tweak Manny Pacquiao. He called him Ms. Pacman.

The Shark was the lone bright spot in the lost season, everybody loved him.

What a mess.

I'd keep ruff. they have had good success under him and unless you are absolutely positive there is a young guy out there that is going to do a great job just wait it out and fix the players.

You need a whole new start in my opinion. He has had ample time with a multitude of different players. I think, if you are Pegula.. you need to blow things up.. and start from the ground up.

Sestito was doing well and then he got destroyed by a bomb.

His eyes were rolling around in his head, I was afraid he was going to do the baby deer and fall on his face on the way to ther bench.

Tweeted this last night: Sesisto's fights remind me of "Bruise Brother" Daryl Stanley's bouts in the mid-1980s. He throws a lot of punches and can score a quick win if one connects but he tends to miss a lot and eventually the other guy catches him because he leaves himself vulnerable.
