Michael Pachla: No avoiding it, the "Pew Wee Sabres" are looking at a possible 0-4 start...

Sounds like the Oilers from a couple years ago.

dont worry. McDavid will be worth it.

They'll win and this board will explode with i told you so's about them not tanking and those in fear of missing out on a high pick, even though it's one game....against carolina (without staal and skinner).

or eichel

Reinhart on the 4th line is a bit of a waste, i'd rather see him in juniors.

Don't worry you'll beat us.

Sabres might not get the chance to choose between them though with the new odds.

But damn, you guys are stacked for the future.

yup...not sure what their plan is with him...might not be the best idea to keep him here this year

Just got to Raleigh. Hoping for an effort tonight.

Grigorenko gets spot on roster off of draft status, looks lost demoted to 4th line.

Reinhart gets spot over Grigorenko off draft status, looks lost, demoted to 4th line

Rinse, wash, repeat

Dead last still gets eichel

But there are other names in the top 5 that would be still be great adds.

love the coach/leadership meeting that was needed after 3 games. this train wreck is going to make Edmonton look like a small grease fire.

why the hell are they doing this to those guys!. u risk ruining their development in the long term if this doesnt change.

Probably not, it set Grigs back a bit but he's recovered nicely. I doubt they drag it out with Reinhart either, probably back down once the 9 games are up.

May even start him in the AHL next year (I think he's eligible).

the nice things for Buffalo is they're only one full year into the rebuild and they've already got a slew of top end talent. this could be a very quick process.

we're all good with the process and see a bright future...just need to trudge through the muck that will be most of this season

dont worry. McDavid will be worth it.

Don't worry you'll beat us.

We're not in the same position edmonton was when they drafted Hall. Also McDavid is supposed to be better than all three.

Their lineup looks very weak on paper, could go either way tonight.

agreed, but the new lottery odds won't guarentee anything. I just don't think tanking works. It sets a club culture of losing and half-heartedness.

how has Reinhart looked? I saw he's on the 4th line, how do you guys feel about that?

I feel annoyed. Play him with talent or don't play him.

I knew this would happen though. The current players want to win. Not babysit
