What scares me is the same thing that sacred me before this season. Does the mandate from upper management still hold true? Look at where were at. The same place they were under Holmgren year after year with that approach. Not good enough. Despite the spending and putting the team up against the cap, they're still going to have to wait for the young players. I believe that Hextall signed JVR to try and appease management and hold them off. Right now it looks like a bad deal. They have more dead cap money because they had to have Braun. Hayes was a good deal and Niskanen a good trade. Lets stay away from the UFA market and let the team develop.

I personally have very little interest in Nylander. And I don’t think Myers is going anywhere right now unless the return is just too good to pass up.

Agree. When signed I didn’t understand. Now with the youth there aren’t any/many spots.

Money in money out is fairly close on the Tor trade proposal

You've drastically overvalued Nylander in my opinion.

You can't play the biggest game the franchise has seen in a decade and come out and look like a beer league team. The effort last night was a flat out disgrace.

I don't think anyone has said the coach is inept, or the franchise is a laughing stock.

Couturier tried to play on one leg last night. Those are the actions of a leader. Lindblom getting in two games is heroic and inspirational. Hart was tremendous in the playoffs, and Hayes was very good. There are some things to build on for next year.

That said, the future is bright crap is old, I'm sick of hearing it. Until this franchise breaks through and delivers a Cup, it's just hot air.

Toronto is going to have fun trying to move him. Overpaid 60 point forward that’s already shown he’s willing to hurt his team over money. I know they’re trying to clear cap space for defense but I think they’re stuck with him for now.

Paying Tavares and Nylander has screwed them up so much lol.

I just think if you're Fletcher you should think outside of the box.

Sure there will always be people who are unhappy on the teams they're on, it would be remiss to not try anything and everything.

Maybe the Sabres DIDNT think about trading him before someone calls with some great above-average, roster-filling players.

We CANT let G and Voraceks deals hinder us when we have great young talent. And can win NOW.

Isn’t that why we have Hayes, TK, coots, Farabee, Frost soon to come? These guys will transition him out.

Too much $$ tied up in “meh” players: JVR ($7M), Hayes ($7M+), Konecny ($5M+), Giroux ($9M), Voracek ($8M+)

Hart appears to be solid, and I like a couple of the young d-men, but they’ll need to dump a lot of this garbage salary if they want to acquire some impact players

The JVR contract might be worst in the league. I can’t even imagine how much you’d have to attach to that contract in a trade, to entice someone to take it

Couturier, Provy, Meyers, Hayes, TK...you act like those guys you names are the best players in the world. We were 1 win away from the ECF while playing some of the worst hockey I’ve seen them play all year. It’s not that bad. Posters like yourself will never be happy.

And posters like you will never demand excellence as a precondition for happiness.
