Ron Rolston is to coaching what Pominville was to Captaincy.

man did you not watch or at least follow the sabres under rolston? project his record out over 48 and we are in the playoffs right now. as this roster stands right now i dont see it much differently next year - ieetbred
Rolston played more games at home |

well before i get fact checked, it turns out over 48 we would have missed the playoffs by 1 point... still doesnt change my opinion that as this roster stands right now we are not a bottom 5 team |

its actually
calgary, florida, phoenix, nashville, buffalo - wingz4life
ID take FLorida's roster going forward any day. New Jersey is getting clsoe to the list if like Clarkson leaves marty retires. They could become a one line team soon with no goalie |

So theres 2 options. Get lucky and Myers, Pysyk, Armia, Grigorenko are all amazing
Or option 2, trade miller and vanek and bottom out.
Team seems to be leaning towards option 2, which is the correct call. |

im not happy with it, i stated that in an earlier post. i thought this was the year to bottom out, it didnt happen. as the roster stands its not a bottom 5 team. closer to the playoffs than top 5 pick...
this could all change this offseason

So you dont beleive that a team wins more at home then on the road? |

4 of the 8 playoff teams in the east had a better record on the road than at home |

i didnt say that. i believe that im not sure what the road record under rolston was.
by no means do i think this is a contending team. but untill i see darcy make real effort to tank a season or two i wont believe we are going through a true rebuild.
in hindsight it probably would have been better to keep ruff all year. may be picking top 5 |

I'm indifferent to the Rolston signing. It's hard to like or hate him. He could be a decent hire. As many have said, he seems to be a good teacher of the game to younger players and that's where we are headed. Darcy remains the biggest problem with this franchise IMO.
I would like them to trade Miller for a 1st and an NHL ready prospect and sign Tommy to an extension and make him our long term captain (if he wants to stay that this)

TL;DR of the last 7 pages:
The current roster is not bad enough to bottom out. |

Yeah that's common in hockey. |

you were implying that he had it easier because he had more home games.
Let me guess, you weren't implying anything. |

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it, I however think that it is incorrect.
IMO...... we dont have the scoring or the special teams units to contend. I would rather lose and lose then hang around the 10-18th pick.
Weve had 3 top 10 picks since 87, we have really never been terrible in a long time. |
