We were (frank)ed cause we traded away the 21st, 25th, 31st, and 62nd picks in a loaded draft, plus 3/4 of are prospect pool for a quick fix.
Edit: Sorry forgot pick 43 to that was sent to LA in the McNabb trade, forgot we got that pick from Calgary in the Regehr trade.

You're really going there with him? There's plenty of warning signs...and he's older than Sam. Might not be as much improvement as you're hoping.

I wanted to go further but, I remembered our previous conversation, and respect your opinion 🙂

Everyone was saying Cozens or Zegras both centers. Only Gerbe wanted Caufield. You were way late on skinner, don’t remember you saying drafting Sam was a mistake either. Your financial advice would of cost people thousands over the last three months.

Don’t get ahead of yourself

So when I was buying gold and silver junior miners since gold has been $1650 an ounce and Silver was at $15-16 my portfolio would have lost money ?

And man people are sick of tired of hearing me whine about Jack and Sam so you either just skip over my posts or have a bad memory.

I said it before we signed him. He shoukd of been traded before the all star break that year and cashed him out for a 1st rd pick
- Fattony1187



You were right, but skins did get hurt just prior to the deadline. It looked really serious at the time. Enough to scare any overpayment away.

* Botts probably wasn't moving him either way

I called draisatil > Reinhart

Skinner’s contract being a bust.

Sabres going Center at pick 7th in 2019 when everyone was jerking it for Cole. Even bad Boldy going before Caufield and went 2/2

My next one will be Gold hitting $2000 an ounce (said this when it was at 1650 an ounce) and Silver hitting $25 an ounce by the end of the year.

I agree but we were desperate for a goalie because we had none at all but would GMTM had given up a first for Lehner if he didn't know him from Ottawa? You would think he would have known his background issues.

Evander Kane was an exciting trade and player to get but looking back there were so many good players in that draft. It's almost like other teams did their homework, knew what could be had in the 20's and later in that draft, and the Sabres brushed it off.

Invest in gold! Crashproof Retirement has been banging that drum since money existed.

Do some research on the 1970 bull market in Gold.

Then try to tell me why this decades bull market will be any different with the amount of money supply that has been pumped into economy.

Couple that with the fact that Silver always lags Gold runs and will be highly used in the future for a variety technological needs and you’re welcome.

Oh, I agree Homie. Hence we are still in the same position 5yrs later.

And probably the fan in me, but if they could add 3 good pieces and a decent 1B goaltender, I think they could be in the playoffs

I remember discussing it with you. Feels like a long time ago, but this off season is never going to end. At least it's a hockey topic.

Wouldn't surprise me if Rhino pushes for a 2yr deal. Wouldn't surprise me if most RFA take shorter term deals.
- Buff36


He'd love a 2 year deal, but it would be insane to give it to him.

I have been soured on the team for awhile. And as you have seen in a lot of my post going back, it all started in 2014-15. They really had a chance to change the course of this Franchise. But we all see where that went. But still think you add a better goaltender and fix the 2nd line, already think they could make a decent 3rd line with Mojo Cozens Kahun, they could make a good push for the playoffs or better.

I don’t even play Madden, and don’t really care, but anyone who says the Bills were always disrespected because they’re bad is just wrong at this point.

The Bills defense in Madden is an 83. Like as in slightly above average. That’s a joke

This.

Just give us one of Konecny, Boeser, Aho. With three cracks at it, and this team is in better shape

Depends on who is brought in this off-season and who is drafted.
