I agree with the inexperience
Last year we lost McCabe, blowgo and eichel
Not sure how much worse injuries could be.

Goaltending seriously cant be any worse.
Hutton led in both gaa and save %

Lehner was a total joke
- Boss34

I meant goaltending injuries. Last year Ullmark was a great option. Now, we're looking at Wedgewood and Johansson.

I hope Hutton is awesome, but I'm leery of career backups putting up those kind of numbers.

And always played with elite D

You have no clue

You act like a 10 year old on here.

Just keep talking about nylander being " the truth" and how great he is. He looks like a complete BUST.

Sabres definitely were not trying to win the Stanley cup last year. They barely made any attempt to improve the team. Coincidentally the best ever defenseman was available to draft.

Top 4 were really strong
Russian
Zardina
Tkachuk

All year you sat on the website with your hands down hoping for the Sabres to come in last place.

Why wouldn't every other person connected with management want dahlin? Who on the planet didnt want him?

Clearly the Sabres didn't put forth any effort and let the team burn to the ground. If you want to call it something other then tanking , go for it.

We were not good and tried to finish bad to draft, something you keep preaching
- Boss34

We weren’t trying to tank ..

that’s probably the number 1 reason we won the draft lottery good “karma “

The team was just pure garbage

EXACTLY!!!
You finally get it.

No, the players were not.

Botteril was however, he constructed the absolute team he could.
HE tanked it.

I can’t believe “a person” thinks the players purposely tanked

Half the players would ask for trades Jack Eichel would have said goodbye


The team was just garbage that’s it

Going out to do some gardening before it gets to 94...only 88 now, lol.

Your joking right? all you believers said last year was playoffs etc

I knew the team would be absolutely terrible

Please answer me this if the team was trying to tank

Why play jack , Casey , the rookies when The team wasn’t even close to clinching yet

Oh and they took out robin ..

Exactly

The players didn't tank or lose on purpose

Well one guy "lost his love" for a while

Jbotts assembled a disgusting team full of guys that could not score more goals then the teams they were playing.

Similar to the 2015 mceichel sabres.

How do you not even consider that?

Management absolutely wanted dahlin, they just weren't as brash and stupid about publically announcing it.

I cant either.

All the rookies?
Who, and forwhat 5 games? Lol.

Finishing last helps for sure...but bei g bottom 2 would have qualified to be in the running to get 1st overall.
Holy hell, Canes near,y made it, lol.

No they actually care about their families and jobs but please think that ..

No in 2015 we Designed a roster that everyone in the NHL knew we were tanking

This team is not good and will see the same results this year

Dude Having those people on the roster was jeopardizing our clinching process of last place .

you can think what you want

Tanking lmao

At no point did I ever say the 2017-2018 Sabres were going to make the playoffs.

I turned in 7 out of the 13 season tickets I had, Prior to the season. Why would I do that, if I thought they were going to good?

If jbotts was trying his best to win, everyone would hate him and want him gone. That was one of the worst teams in Sabres history. Despite having jack.

Players do not tank, management does.

Look how much better the future is landing dahlin

FRANCHISE CHANGING!

Right, like jbotts and tpegs didnt discuss coming in at the bottom when he was hired? It was planned.

Jbotts did his job, he got dahlin

- Lunaion

Injuries to goalies happen for sure

How much more inury prone can a goalie be then lehner though?

Chad was also terrible, just in case

So the team right now is still a bottom 5 team we must be tanking




I’m excited I want Kakko

We are not bottom 5 ,

We landed dahlin

You are not smart

- Boss34

They got 79 starts from Lehner and Johnson, and could have gotten all 82.

If Wedgewood and Johansson get forced into significant action next year, it could get really bad.

How likely do both ullmark and hutton get injured?

If we are competing, jbotts makes a trade for a goalie.

Wedgewood is a stop gap

He’s the worst.

I'm out. Gerbe is a little kid with a smaller brain.

It happens. Vegas had almost 20 starts from #3 and 4.

What happens if Ullmark misses 2 months with a groin injury and Hutton returns to below average form? Not predicting it, there's just a ton of risk in net.

I'm out. Gerbe is a little kid with a smaller brain.

You sound like those crazy people that think September 11 is fake

Let’s say you’re right The management calculated everything to tank ..

- they knew Sam would have 11 points in the first 33 games

- they knew Kyle would struggle and float all year

- they knew ROR would struggle massively in the beginning of the year and then go on a hot streak when Jack Eichel went down

- They knew Ristolainen couldn’t play on the first pair and play more minutes

- they knew Jack Eichel would be injured

- they knew Kane would be The highest scoring winger in the beginning of the year

-They knew Antipin was so good that they couldn’t play him


- they knew Jason Pominville would only score 3 goals the rest of the year



They calculate everything I’m proud of them
