This site so negative. Complaining about ownership...but if it wasn’t Pegula, the “Sabres” would be in Seattle or Quebec City.

JB-needs to have a trade partner. This isn’t EA Sports. So things haven’t worked out perfectly...at least the team is still competitive.

RK- has obviously brought in a culture and the players like him.

Give peace a chance, people.

Hayton is a bust. The Coyotes did us a disservice making him available this year.

Yeah Canada in general I didn’t think was going to be great.

Sweden or USA was my pick to win

Risto, Reinhart, Mitts for P.Kane

Pass.
Patty has 39% FO, we need better when he converts to 3C.

USA and Russia have the best rosters on paper, however losing 5-0 is inexcusable

Hawks would never move Kane

Plus his large contract

Plus age wise doesn’t fit with the core

I speculate that fans are negative because the team is 1-4 in their last five games. Five goals scored in their last four games, which includes an empty netter. Each night a big money defenseman sits in the press box.

If the bar is, "at least there still is a team in Buffalo", then there is really nothing to ever discuss regarding their play.

"Competitive" is a term that likely means something different to everybody. But I am glad that Ralph is well-liked in the locker room. Things would be worse if he weren't.

"The Buffalo Sabres' reason for existence is to win the Stanley Cup. We will aspire to be the best in the league at finding, developing and keeping players in the Buffalo Sabres family.
If I want to make some money, I'll go drill a gas well.
I don't need to make it in the hockey business. Starting today, there will be no financial mandates on the Buffalo Sabres' hockey department. ... I'm going to make decisions based on winning the Stanley Cup and what is right for the fan base and the team."

Yeah would have been nice to have maybe Compher, Roslovic, White and a couple others added to the roster, but oh yeah the picks and players were traded away.

No they (frank)ing wouldn't oh my god stop

The NHL at least realizes that Buffalo is too valuable of a market to NOT have a team here. They are keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix - They 100% wouldn't have let Buffalo relocate.

Has Pegula been stingy with $$$ in any way?
Only thing i can think of is not wanting to pay ROR his bonus, which is understandable

Drafting dahlin pushed the "window" back a year, wouldnt you say?

If we took svech, answer solved up front

Picking a #1 overall player with 12 goals in a year and a half is a tough one as well.

You have to be patient with defenseman, maybe that's the plan

Elliott Friedman was saying on his podcast (31 thoughts) just recently that he thinks the Hawks could start to consider moving PK88
He doesn’t think Toews will ever get traded though
