I'm jealous of the team that signs him
- Powerslave


If you think about it, yes he’s 31, but he can easily play all over the lineup, can play the Okposo leadership role in two years when Okposo hangs them up, has won cups, can help the kids become real pros.

Okposo and Tuch can’t do it all by themselves.

Still think we could use another banger with some hands. Hopefully Nadeau keeps progressing.

You don't think he was 10x better later in the season? He was brutal early on but it seems after the one game where he was burned twice outside he really turned a corner.
- Slump Buster


He did turn a corner.

I still want to see consistent game-changing first-overall talent without bad gaffes which I haven't seen yet. If he takes that step, the Sabres are in a good place

Sure, but they had to get Vinny back, even though he just doesn't fit their needs.

I'm over it, mostly.

Well when they send Casey and someone else for Kane…lol.

Really I have no idea. I thought for sure one of Casey or Olofsson were gone in a trade.

We weren’t in on either player.

I realize that but a lot of posters were high on little Johnny and thought he was a good fit in Buffalo. He's a waste of money very similar to Skinner. Neither will be on a Stanley Cup team. On the other hand Kadri would be a good signing if he would be willing to come to Buffalo.

Man, it hurts when the stool is on the other foot.


It's hard for me to imagine Tage being considered a top-15 center in the NHL. God love him if he gets there. I think they're setting up this team to be deep but there's not really much elite talent here. It's an exercise in building a team around good-but-not-great players

So what you’re saying is they need a Hasek type goalie?

When they trade him in 2 yrs they will get less in return.

Sabres won the trade.
