Talk about about a joke

So you'd rather have another bloated winger contract that walks in 3 more seasons and maybe wins us an extra 3-4 games/season than several young, controllable forwards that fit like a glove into our rebuild.

It makes no sense.

Putting the 2 best Americans on the same team... having to play them 6 times a year and giving them an extra million to work with all while Marner is off the book in 2025 and would just leave to go back to Toronto when the contract is over....

Brilliant

Side note: Matthews has been paid approximately $41m of the $58m owed to him on his 5-year contract with nearly 3 years still to go

which was squander away for the likes of Kane Bogosian and ROR..
- SabresFaninIndiana

yup...although, because of his draft record, they'd probably have been squandered anyway, no?

I'm kind of torn I want the Sabres to do well but I have an urge for the Sam and the other analytics guy to fall flat on their faces due to the exorbitant love shown them.

Even Jon Vogl , who used to be legit has been drinking the Kool-Aid over the last year or so. He described the last two analytic hires as "outstanding."

I would like to know who in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL has been classified as an "outstanding" hire before they show anything for their team or even in the league by a
supposed professional? If you could tell me that, that would be outstanding!!

I just believe professionals should put the breaks on the fawning love for administrators and say hopefully impressive, they have a very solid pedigree and background and bring a great experience but "outstanding" before they prove it? It's almost like these guys have their PR machine in certain parts of the Buffalo legit and illiget media. I don't think Scotty Bowman was labeled as outstanding by a supposed legit person in the media when he was hired in the various cities he coached in.

outside of the top two picks he was no good.. except when some euro scout somehow convinced him to take a flyer on a guy with a good shot.

I read that the guy that had the football from Brady's 600th td pass gave it up for a gift card to the team store. What a fool. These people can change their lives with something like that and they give it up for nothing.

But to (kinda) hope they fall flat on their faces? Your user name is GilPerreault11, not CamNeely8.

Get on board! 😡😁

Greetings, my Buffalo friends.

Weekends are boring when the Bills are on their bye week.

Non-trolling question:

What happens if Eichel goes ahead and gets the surgery he wants?

Is there a good article that explains what the consequences would be, and what the Sabres could do legally if he indeed gets the replacement?

Thanks

Excellent write up baller:

We're definitely lacking the big time playmakers.

Positives:
More ice time for the young players
Key ice time for the young players
More time to evaluate players in the system

I havent been following along. What's the general feel on colin Miller?

He's picking up points, but has been terrible in person.

Sabres can toll his contract and/or suspend him and Eichel assumes 100% of the risk. It would be an extremely poor decision.
