Is it the O'Reilly move and not hiring a non-retread coach that has lead you to this?

You're against the Montour trade?

Didn't they get Sheary for very little?

I'm fairly certain Ristolainen will be gone.

when I posted about McLellan, Martin and AV, i'm now really hoping i'm wrong about Martin. What a mistake that would be, when it was told to me about Martin I figured it was just the Pens connection and his name would fade away.

Free agent TE Lee Smith will visit with the Bills.
It's the only team connected to Smith since his Oakland release. Smith spent his first four years in Buffalo, so this would be a homecoming. Smith is the top run-blocking tight end available.

They were not happy with him, regardless of who traded him.

His marijuana and depression issues did not help.

What marijuana issues??? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.

Yeah Im not a fan. And Im not sure of that anymore. He's allegedly asking coaches how they would help risto's game, which i think is just idiocy.

Darius liked his drag-racing and his blunts.

Reminds me of an old-timer I know who says he got busted for drag racing back in the 70s on Broadway in Cheektowaga (yeah, not too smart a block from the police station), but he beat the rap "cuz he cited the actual law for racing that said there must be a beginning and a finish line. Since the 2 cars racing never agreed upon a finish line, he argued, the charge must be dropped. The judge bought it.

You're the first one I've read who didn't like the Montour trade.

Bank it off the wall out of our own end

When defedning a 2 on 1, pick one early and commit

Clear the front of the net


Those three simple things would drastically improve his all around game

Ruff, really...come on. Look how he took a decent Dallas team and ran it into the ground as well as the NY Rangers. Fifteen years with the Sabres and he couldn't win it. He just can't do it...there are others that can do it. How soon people forget the reasons why Ruff was let go. Hopefully, this was just a way of softening the blow if the Sabres hire someone who is not a primo choice for the head coach position. Who would have thought Trotz would have won the cup with the Capitals? Sooner or later the right fit will materialize...hopefully, sooner than later.

Well, you’re on-brand with your handle. And I agree with you too. I love the guy but pass on Lindy.
