Methinks Housley is in over his head.

marco Scandella is buffalo's no. 2 d-man, beaulieu played way too much...Tennyson played way too much earlier in the season and was a disastser
- Michael Pachla

Bogosian, who was supposed to be a good top4 guy we could depend on has either been hurt, or hasn’t played well (for the most part)

Risto is played too much bc he has no support

McNabb & Pysyk we’re traded away

Kulikov was a bust

Gorges gets too much hate, but he hasn’t been good either

Drafted only 1 defenseman in the 1st/2nd rounds, so we have no one coming but Guhle (and maybe Borgen at some point)


Maybe it’s not ALL Murray’s fault...
but it’s gonna take more than just one offseason for Botts/Housley to fix the crap defense they were left with

GMTM utterly failed at building the defense for us
I don’t even see how anyone could argue that

I don't blame GMJB but if he does not trade anyone he possibly can during the deadline (that he does not see as a fit moving forward) I will be upset. Does anyone really think pushing a Kane trade as close to the deadline to build value works if he does not get any points? GMJB should call all teams interested and say "best and final" and take the best offer and ask for just a little bit more and hope they say yes.

Now I know why dan bylsma played park the bus

This team is so incompetent

Totes magotes man. Move on.

Zadina a pure goal scorer but Tkachuk better all round player. Tough call.
- Matthews_Auston

Lawson Crouse 2.0 buyer beware

Svechnikov is clear cur #2 imo

Our two goalies between them couldn't fetch a 6th rounder. Brutal.

At least the Rangers game the other night they tried. This is a very embarrassing effort on home ice. The only question is whether or not Dallas scores a touchdown and a field goal against us.

There is a complete lack of leadership on this team. Not even sure where to start. Who would want to be part of this mess?

Svechnikov... Zadina... Tkchuk...

If we pick 2nd, who do u take?
- jdfitz77

I go zadina, svech, Tkachuk in that order although svechnikov is really growing on me

Zadina a pure goal scorer but Tkachuk better all round player. Tough call.
- Matthews_Auston

Svechnikov looks like a sniper too

Idk who I’d take
Can’t say I’d be mad about any of them
Although if one of them ends up not being much of a goal scorer in the NHL, it might be Tkachuk
I could see Brady top out as a 15-20 goal guy

Does anyone actually read Garth still?

I haven’t read one of his blogs in like 5 years

Mostly just nonsense

I think Tkachuk has the highest “bust” potential as well

Love his motor, and he will play hard every shift (we could use that)...
but I’m not convinced he will be a goal scorer in the NHL

Methinks Housley is in over his head.

Maybe
We need more talent on this roster though

Tk is a that backes going to be a female dog to play against
Z is the kucherov goal score will just score bullets

In my personal opinion
Zadina= Taylor Hall
Svechnikov= Rick Nash Columbus version
Tkachuk= Evander Kane lite

Just stylistic speaking. Not saying that’s exactly who they project as. But just who they remind me of when I watch their highlight videos.

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Sabres need Kucherov more than they need Backes. Answer is easy, but Z better be Kucherov.

I don't understand how some people could not see this coming did they miss most of the season last year ?

I said we be a bottom 5 team last year what a shock I was right

The only think I'm wrong about is Jack getting 100 but he might end up with 90
- GERBE!!!75PTS

don't you know? It was all bylsma's fault, coaching is everything in hockey and now that housley is here bogo is a top 2 d-man.

agreed

The sabres should really give money back to the fans so ridiculous that they spend money on this horse poop

Open window toss out money

- Hatboro_Swords

Interesting way to look at it

We do need guys that play hard every night too though
But that’s probably easier to find than a sniper who can get 30+

Al right...
I’m out on Tkachuk

I want either Zadina or Svechnikov if we don’t win the lotto

But damn...
with this defense we REALLY need to win this lotto

Sabres should trade Kane for a 1st to the team that's looking you'd bet will not make the playoffs? Imagine winning the lottery with that pick?

you'd be looking for a GM who's really desperate...like job on the line desperate whose team just can't score.

Off the top of my head I don't know any

How can you not take Z look at the mooseheads record with Prospect they just spit out stars

- Hatboro_Swords

Well if there’s a team that deserves that kinda luck, it’s us

I’d say trade him to one of the teams in the Metro then
Preferably Carolina, NyI or Philly

Good idea,
but they might insist the pick is lotto protected
