If he's willing to play for $2m with bonus incentives, sure. If not, the money is better spent elsewhere. We're not going anywhere if Allen is hurt so I'm not too interested in investing in the 2QB. It's cheaper to just ride with Fromm. We're not gonna win a SB with Fitz or Fromm so who really cares
- jcragcrumple


Agreed on the low cost aspect.

Fitz is 5x the QB's they have already in Barkley and Fromm.
He could win them 2-3 games to keep their chances alive.

Funny now that the rest of the league has caught up to the Sabres in terms of games played they now sit at the bottom of the division and near the bottom of the league.

Now you look at that schedule, 46 games in 83 days os cruel. I’m holding out hope for for 4th place, but given the circumstances you can’t really judge if they don’t pull it off. Shame that after all these years of being a$$ they get essentially robbed out of 2 straight seasons. I don’t think anyone could have pictured worse luck. Crazy.

Last season they were falling fast at the end, on the way to a higher draft pick having lost 7 of their last 10 games before the the season was mercifully cancelled...they were playing like a$$, no bad luck involved at all.

And if they lost which is just as likely, last place, Interesting.

Sabres currently 4th worst team in the League, again.

- ImThatGuy


Well there is such a spread of games played by each team, hard to judge.
Another way to look at it is they are still only 2 points out of 4th.
Maybe they just need some good rest after being off for 11 months, lol.

Well Jack and Rhino didn't get the needed tandem bike rides in. I just think saying we're 4th last in the league when some teams have played 13,14,15,16 games and are 2 or 3 points ahead of us is a glass half full. The last 7 periods have been bad, but before that if they had scored a few goals we all would be saying something different.

I guess, if you throw out the most recent regular season game where he blew out the dolphins by 30 points

- IonSabres

up to the trade deadline, sabres took 12 of 16 points

then the wheels fell off, going 1-6 and getting outplayed big time in those 6 losses and and to get a few breaks to beat the caps in the shootout

Yup, the good news with the season cancelled is that they were save from taking Quinn at 5 or 6 instead of 8th.

Are we supposed to get any d men back before the first game?

I think right now the depth chart is

Irwin-Miller
Davidsson-Jokiharju
Bryson-Borgen

Yeah and if we actually played that 11th game and won we would be tied for 4th, interesting.

Montreal got the last playoff spot while having gotten to play 2 more games. The Sabres weren’t given a fair opportunity, now this. We know they haven’t done themselves many favors over the years but 2 have 2 straight seasons wiped from them(and Eichel’s career) hurts. I just don’t think anyone could have envisioned this.

Very true, I just hope they can get rolling. There's some talent on this team, time for them to step it up.

Jan 3rd vs. Miami threw for 161 and a score.

I would rather have fitz as well. Although Barkley did look competent lately

I'm working with the owner on a new concept.
Of course it's still going to be a BBQ joint.

It's a mixture of ketchup, mustard, tabasco, and astroglide.
