At this point I'm already guessing at what the fatal flaw of Owen power is going to be.. Maybe he won't be able to play on the left side of the ice.. Who knows? I've got a current generational defense man who can't play defense, so why not?

We already now Power can play LD at a high level. And we are not allowed to talk about the anointed one.

That's a rushed rebuild or It's bringing in free agents like every team does when they try to win.

When you trade away your prospect pool and multiple picks to bring in players. Yes it is especially when you have to make more trades or sign retreads because your have no prospects to fill those spots. Sabres traded away there foundation after Eichel was drafted to win faster.

Sabres tank every year and have not had a great player since playoff Danny Briere.

A 5th? Just waive him to Rochester

He was outta position that one time last night

Doesn’t matter he set up a goal, set up another one that Girgensons flubbed, and set up Skinner on a breakaway

Why are you still here? Go be a fan of another team, this obviously isn't working out for you.

Oh sorry I got hooked on the team when we won this thing called a "playoff series" against the Boston Bruins in the early 1990s.

I know right, lol, not only being in the playoffs, but winning a series and beating the Bruins. Im making this up.

Fun note: Bruins are 15 - 2 in their 17 in Buffalo. Yay losers!

It's nice he gets his points, don't matter when you are on the ice and give up as many goals as you help set up. And if those 3 goal post Florida hit when in instead it's 10-6. What if What if

But at the end of the day he was a minus for the night and was yet again a defensive liability. Look Dahlin has great offensive upside but he is bad at defense.

What good is he if he scores 40 points and ends up being a minus player?

When did I say great, but I would of taken Compher, Armia, Zadorov, McNabb over some of the scrubs we brought in. All the picks traded away that could have been playing for us now. We had the big guns in ROR Eichel Rhino Kane, we didn't have the other pieces to surround them with.

Oh, so there's absolutely nothing we traded away that would have made a difference. Nothing.

So all the picks traded away in that time might not have helped us. And most of these nobody's have been parts of TEAMS that have done a lot more than the Sabres have, and in there own way have helped those teams reach the Cup or playoffs.

You do not build a team through trades and free agency.
