I was a big fan of Spacek. I never cared for Teppo tbh

You say that like it wasn’t a lot of chatter.

“4 goals against on 0.89 expected goals against for Tristan Jarry tonight”

Yikes.

Safe to assume they could be a player for Ullmark in FA

I dont want to make this a female dog-fest on my part about Botterill, but there hasn't been a plan since Tim Murray tried (and failed) to win now.

Botterill talked about building for the future but spent assets on stupid crap that he could have gotten for free on the waiver wire. Did he ever try to win? Sort of, but sort of not.

In the 2020 season under Adams, they didn't really spend assets to win but they added a bunch of bad stuff for too many years (seemingly) in an attempt to win now

So what's the point here? What are we doing?

Telling Billy’s what they need to hear to lock in those long term contracts.

That's fine to say, but what's the vision required to get there?

For Murray, it was trade for them at the expense of futures. Failure.

For Botterill, it was go to the bottom of the league repeatedly and attempt to surround them with mediocre talent via trading mid-round picks. That sucked.

I think the Sabres owe it to their fan base to at least explain the thought process behind what they're doing now. Maybe no one knows.

No one will say "We need to make the playoffs" except viking55

Failure of 2 GM's in a row, one traded prospects and picks to get players to win now. The next traded assets to fill spots because there were none in the system to fill those spots cause everything was traded away.

That's the story of the Sabres over the past decade. Constant turnover leading to a loss of vision and no cohesive plan

If there is a sliver of hope it's that Adams is yet to trade any futures

She should get some giant fake tots and bill it towards business development.

Beady has a pick of her in just her apron sucking a pen with the words “would you like fries with that?”

Nothing traded away would’ve moved the needle a nanometer. Get out of here with that. I had that horrible take dismissed years ago.

McNabb wouldn't have helped, Compher wouldn't have helped, Armia wouldn't have helped. All the picks wouldn't have helped. Stop sucking of TM off, he was bad.

Two 2nds and McNabb for DLo and Fasching? Not worth it

The more I think about it we haven’t signed hardly any great UFAs. It’s a sad list of 3/4 liners and terrible contracts

Sabres end up drafting top 5 in 2016 sans ROR too.

So instead of drafting Nylander you’re looking at one of Matthews, Laine, Dubois, Tkachuk quite possibly.

The one good one we signed had a sub 3% shooting percentage, strong armed his way to the Bruins, and will probably drive their secondary scoring to a cup because why not.

And he only came here because of the worst coach in franchise history.

The picks he did keep he missed on 90% of them.
