Winning begets winning, Mitts is way in over his head, and we have a bit of a surplus of future.

Tim Murray says hi

Does it when you have nothing to put on the wing with him? sabres need 5 new players for lines 2 and 3...
- gordong

Sheary is a competent 2nd line wing, but doesn’t create in his own. Okposo... eh. Carter isn’t exactly a rental and we just found 3+m in the couch cushions.

got it...was looking at his $5M+ cap-hit

The cap hit matters more than his actual pay.

K.

It was for awhile....hence the 10 game winning streak
- r2so73

15-33 goals did not come from the first line/PP during the streak, not counting SO goals. Lines 2-4 including 2PP scored more than 1 goal in only 3 of those games(the first game and then 6 and 7). 6 games with 1 goal, 1 with none.

$19m room before Skinner next year says hi.

Did I do that right?

Does anyone else hear fat ass Paul Hamilton struggling to breathe in these post game interviews???

Bulldog is awful with that too, it's gross. I guess the name fits.

not sure of the affect he'd have on the room in buffalo...if I recall correctly he wasn't very happy in Columbus before getting shipped to la...he's got it made out there and not sure buffalo would be a top destination for him

Carter's best days are behind, good chance that cap hit becomes more dead weight. Im not opposed to making a move for a cost controlled player, but it can't be someone who is about to turn 34.

I'd worry about California boy Carter's attitude here in Buffalo.

Also, these 2 points against the Islanders Monday are pretty important to say the least.

Still 2 up on Boston and 3 on Mtl, despite the poor play.

That being said, DO SOMETHING, BOTTS!

Its gonna be a feel good story with lehner coming back to town. I'd personally like to thank him for helping the Sabres draft dahlin.

It goes to shootout.

- advantage Buffalo

Lehner is having a very good year. It'll be another tough game. That team is very similar.

Nah, he sucks.

Edit: The Sabres have been spoiled for goalies for almost their entire existence. I don't think most people realize how "bad" an average NHL goalie is because we've rarely had one.

Nah, he sucks.

Nice! 13 minutes of greatness right there

Botts is going to sit around and do nothing becuase he knows the higher we draft, the more likely we are going to get a stud and have a better chance of winning a cup in a year we actually have a chance of winning.
