wildcard quinn
- gerbe75pts

That’s a big wildcard. Besides that offensively. I don’t see a star elite player.

Krebs does remind me of briere. But he has ways to go

Quinn is also a wildcard who to this point has had trouble staying healthy.

I still wonder what would have happened in '19-20 if they had hired AV or Lindy or Grönborg instead of Ralph

Think bigger, Zito over JB.

That's two years before. The Sabres may have been able to pull it out of the inferno pre-pandemic but they plunged headlong into the abyss with Ralph after firing Wowie.

JB had a vision for a puck-moving d group and Ralph grounded the attack to a halt. It's all academic at this point but it's still interesting to wonder if things could have been different

I see it is a pic of you from the old days in the army

Could analyze what Phil and Ralph were given to work with, but it won't be fun.

I still think the jbotts hire was a "nhl recommendation ".

He fit the profile, former sabre, MBA educated .....


Drafting all those defenseman was a long term plan IMO

Go back even further to Disco Dan.

The pieces in place never lived up to the promise. In retrospect it's almost implausible that ROR, Eichel, Kane, Reinhart, Lehner, Risto and McCabe never came close to sniffing the playoffs. Complimentary pieces of Gio, Foligno, Girgensons and Larsson.

It's something else.

Hey balls 🏈 ran in to someone wo know s you he said you were a better football player than hockey?
In football you were bench end guard tackle? You must have been great playing 4 positions!
Then he explained it to me. You sat on the bench. Guarded the water bucket and tackled anyone that when near it!!! Great job!!!

Front office has been a mess from day 1 and it still might be.

They haven't had a real hockey ops president since la la left 9 years ago. They should have brought Lindy-or-equal aboard as president years ago

Sentimental hires with no experience got us into this mess.

Nice come back Win baby!!

Yes it has and as fans we all suffer from the piss poor management of the team for the past 11 years!! This past year you saw something the team has not had Since you played if I’m texting with the real Patrick kalketa!! Sorry for the misspelling. When you played you were one of my favorite players!!!

Regardless of the name, they've needed someone with a hockey vision to steer the ship. They've been utterly rudderless going back to Ted Black and Russ Brandon and now Kim Pegula
