Damn how do you miss that sir Tallness

So tanking for Eichel is the reason we couldn’t build around Eichel ?

The Sabres were trying to win with Eichel no ?

Speed up the rebuild ?

Tanking wasn’t the issue, everyone likes to conveniently blame it though for what reason I don’t know.

Im done losing brain cells having this conversation though.

Im out for today

It didn't work. They were worse. Maybe you're losing brain cells trying to defend a complete and utter failure of an approach?

I'm done too.

Has to hit the net there. Great passing between Dahlin, Tage and Bryson though.

He was in the Kings org, 26, 4th rd pick of Ottawa back in 2015. 6'2" 185 LD. He'll be a UFA after this season.

But why?!? Lose fabio’s kid, pass on the tampa center and pick up another LD, when you lose a Rd…. Ok, I guess?!?

Tanking worked perfectly.

They got Eichel and Reinhart.

They failed at trying to win hockey games.

Two completely different things

I wonder if Eichel’s been watching.

F that guy

Just a reminder that HANK was bang on when he had the courage to write that RJ needed to retire. It's sad to hear him do the get off my lawn routine, reminisce about buffets & boozing, or in the case of the 1st period wonder aloud multiple times why the whistle went. will the Santa suit return!?




- DanielEtvs

It’s been like this for 2-3 years now

I wonder if Eichel’s been watching.

Probly at the Red Sox game with the Bruins

I wonder if Eichel’s been watching.

Imagine Eichel and Reinhart in this system ?

But yea tanking is what screwed us not terrible coaching and management.

How you been mhp, well guess another LD is better than none.
- Buff36

I'm well my friend. I retired Oct 1st, living the good life. Putting some final touches on a winter trip to Florida.

How are you, how's the shoulder?

Wolanin is ok but he's a LD. My guess is he eventually goes to Rochester, no room for him here. And the Amerks only have Schuldt and Davidson as their best LD with Samuelsson on IR.

Save that thought for when the Avs and Leafs win cups this decade.
- Pegullaville

Oh my…. The leafs are worse off than they were last year. Your an idiot. Stop commenting here about nonsense.

Let’s win games and build up these kids for the future. Not lose to win in the future

We tried the latter… multiple times. Never has worked for us.

Tanking is never the answer shut up.

Gotta be going to Rochester. All I got.

He's listening to classic rock w Ralphie in Southampton while rocking Boston Bruins gear and rage texting Pat Brisson

That’s. An. Understatement.

Let’s ignore how good Rasmus Dahlin has looked so far.

#1 overall pick.

Grr tanking

Goes hand in hand with still attempting to win while developing your players, no matter where they're drafted.

We’ve been tanking for 10 years. Shut up already.

Winnning is the name of the game

- Pegullaville

Who said coaching and management didn't screw up, but doesn't mean you keep tanking.

If we play hard and lose and deserve the 1OA then fine cool by me.

Purposely losing will never work. Look at Edmonton. Look at Toronto. Look at Arizona. Look at the US

Never seen Edmonton or the Leafs outta the first round but yeah let’s tank cause Colorado actually sucked for a while.

We’ve been tanking for 10 years. Shut up already.

but the geniuses on WGR want porch beers and tanking! #Analytics

Think it means Joker is out a little longer than they told us.

If they try to waive and send Wolanin down, he'll just get reclaimed.

Or he just rides the pine as the 7th d man. To Rochester after joker comes back? Free body without have to call someone up?

We needed Sabres management to have one good franking offseason the last 3 years.

Just franking one.

And we’d be watching Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Cozens, Mittelstadt and the rest for the next 5 to 10 years.

If they hired Granato instead of Kreuger we’d all be singing kumbaya about Sabres hockey the next 10 years thanks to tanking.
