I think we were hoping for this when we got Greenway

I don’t think it was. I think Hall and the Sabres probably had some sort of handshake agreement.

It was an awful trade.

We downgraded from Lazar who’s still to this day a solid 4th liner to an AHL’er and we got a late 2nd for the prized forward of that deadline

It’s ok, life moves on.

I just hate revisionist history

Don't forget, we were also fed the story that Bjork was a player they really wanted. The guys they target raise some questions.

I really hope Meatballs puts Greenway back in the bottom 6. We need scoring if Samuelsson and Dahlin are out.

The Taylor Hall trade was awful

YOU are making it more complicated by making excuses.

Life isn’t as hard as it seems or something right?

- sbroads24


The player had a no trade clause, he used his leverage to go where he wanted to go.

It’s honestly so simple.

What’s next ? You gonna blame Adams for the fact it snows in Western New York ?

The trade sucked, but Adams either dealt him to Boston or did nothing and he walked at the end of the year.

Absolutely agree.

Some posters are acting like players don't have agents. Agents are working out the best possible situation for the guys they represent. Always.

Like a simple convo between Hall's agent and the Sabres gm couldn't have a plan "B" in place.

Hey, if and when eichel/ sabres implode, you send traylor to one of these few teams. I've done business with you before and look forward to future conversations.

I would love to see a pk88/ offer from the Sabres, similar to traylors deal.

Pk88 gets paid
Sabres sell tickets
If the marriage works , great, if not Plan B
Replace olo or mitts with kane
Call up guy next deadline to replace pk88 and lock in top 10 again.

Tag this guy into the ring. 🙂

Thatguy incoming......

KA bash party and looks who arrives....

Everyone starts out as a new person or rookie at their jobs. KA has done a lot of really good things for the Sabres. Nitpicky 😀

The best possible situation for Kane is a one year deal in Buffalo?

Don't see that making sense for either side. Kane isn't what this team needs.

Starting in 2022, a team can move up a maximum of 10 spots, making only 11 of the 16 teams who miss the playoffs eligible for the first overall pick. Also beginning in 2022, a team can win the lottery no more than twice in a five-year span.Jan 10, 2023

Geesh , this is convenient.

Looks like the Sabres have a lock on the 10th/11th spot.

I remember this happening. So what’s the procedure? Do you just not get a lottery ball? Or if you win they just push you to #2 and pick another team?

I wouldn't doubt the power of playing at home. Pk88 has a young family. Maybe give it a try from October- march, cash in some $ on a 1 year deal... play where you want in April.

I'm sure pk88 would have quite a few teams interested, but who has the money to pay him?

Why not use the Sabres as a nhl "helper " team like Arizona.

Pk88 pays you back at the gate and Jersey rack
It's an investment from the Sabres perspective

It doesn't even make sense.

There is zero thought, just misery.
No conversation, just narrow minded anger.

No solutions just botching to b!tch. 😥😥😥

Homie made a really good point the other day. Something along the lines of there being a record of all of us being wrong at some point or another on this blog. For instance I thought Risto was a top pair Dman. You don’t need to hurl insults or dramatically announce your exit because you encounter some dissonance on a fan forum.

Wouldn't a better investment be of a longer-term aspect. Nice he might sell some Jersey's and Tickets but doubt it adds up to the 6-8 mill it will cost to sign him.

It's a bit difficult to explain simply, but if the Sabres finish 14th from last, and win one of the two lottery drawings, they would still move up 10 spots, just not all the way to 1st or 2nd overall, as the move up is capped at 10 spots.

Check this link for the rules at the bottom, but run the simulator a few times to fully understand how things work.

This blog has been unbearable for a month. 90% of the post are just b*tching about how players, coaching and the gm suck.

The first year in a decade where we actually can see a future out of the depths of hell and this blog turns into a depressing cry fest.

Its the worst this blog has ever been. Take me back to the covid fighting blogs. Please!

Well stop making post about adding players that might help, just female dog about not trying to make the team better. All you like is Misery, that's why you complain so much about a team you want to see do better.

Don’t forget to add whatever you get back in the deadline trade. I don’t know how to put a monetary value on draft picks, but it’s got to be worth something yea? Whatever you think of the Hall trade, Sabres did essentially buy a second round pick.
