Tell me again why it took this franchise months to hire Granato?

Last ditch effort to keep Eichel in Buffalo didn't work

It’s crazy to me how all of those guys loved Krueger so much

Risto said he was the best coach he’s ever had

Reinhart liked him

Eichel said he will have a relationship with him for life

Hall loved him

Dude was such a snake oil salesman

Tage Thompson will remain at center, at least for now, said Don Granato.

Opening-night roster will be set following practice Monday.

Hockey players are not exempt from falling for and being suckered by charlatans and cult leaders.

The Sabres’ Tage Thompson is officially a center now.

“I like him there,” coach Don Granato said. “I think the potential’s just too great to shift him to the side.”

I kind of get a smile on my face thinking how the Pegulas just get swindled out of money by being incompetent

When you have a talented team, you need a coach that can deal with all the egos. I bet Ralph was good with that. But, we were not talented enough to win on talent alone, and we needed to be coached. And he was not good at that.

Over my 26 yrs as a player agent, it’s almost always been the player that has decided whether to get surgery and what type of surgery after consultations with Club and 2nd/3rd opinion doctors. Most times, the GM has called and asked “So, what has your client decided to do?”

At that point in time what, was it a $50 million dollar contract that the backing insurance company may have some concerns over?

Or was the team doctor one of the top physicians in the world for the given procedure the player wants and might have concerns?

Not quite as black and white as this agent wants it to be….

Edit…

I forgot, is the shoulder surgery failed in a game, do to a hard hit, was there chance for paralysis?

Everyone has there opinions on what's going on, where those players owed 50mill if the surgery didn't work.

Both Eichel and the Sabres have a case as to why their side is accurate.

Both are also using their side as additional reasoning for the divorce.

Do you think there is even a 2% chance he ever pulls on a Sabres sweater in an actual game again?

I think, he gone… it’s just finding the right deal and timing… all but the formalities at this point?

- Gr8daygo

nope

he has been nothing but a cancer in the locker room since his second year in the nhl

Oh very much so, time for Adams to move him and let the organization move on. I mean it's not like this won't be another sh!t stain on the Organization for another 5yrs.

There's a chance for paralysis on every hit in the NHL.

Bottom line is the CBA grants the Sabres the ability to do what they're doing.

Look at the 76ers, Ben Simmons is healthy, he just refuses to play for them, and they still haven't been able to move him.

"Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
You were born to be hockey players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"
