Thats the problem... Everyone says just wait they will grow... By the time they grow their contracts will be up then they say bye bye Buffalo and here we go back into the cycle....
- rapperray

So does that mean we are going with Clague, Bryson, Joker and Boosh as our 4-5-6-7 again with UPL and Comrie in net cause you know grow?

We are looking at basically the same team next year cause Adams isn't going to "Tim Murray it"

Not if I am GM.... Those guys wouldn't be here right now...

Apart from Dahlin, what other core member of the team doesn’t have at minimum 3+ years of team control ?

Or the 10-4 at home, or the atrocious play as of late.
- Powerslave

Just look at the pre trade deadline record and post.

I'm not saying its 100% greenways fault, it's closer to 110% his fault.

Vibes cometh vibes taketh away.

Should have never traded the 4 time lockerroom most popular player rasmus asplund.

We are looking at basically the same team next year with the same goalie and the same coach.

So 5-0 losses to Boston next year is a success then?

What GM misses the playoffs 4 years in a row and keeps his job?

Some say its too much to ask, expecting them to compete

They lost to the two worst teams in the league in Philly and CBJ
- sabresfan69

Those two games made me so (frank)ing mad.

Without veterans they will not grow... This coaching staff is awful.... They will be peaking in 3 years and leave.... The Drury Brierre syndrome continues...

Not if I am GM.... Those guys wouldn't be here right now...
- rapperray

Agreed.

Or Olofsson. Or Comrie.

Those two games made me so (frank)ing mad.
- Powerslave

Those two games cost us being in the playoff mix.

They didn't even show up.

Thats on Granato....He is starting to lose the fans. He will be fired next year if we miss the playoffs.

Yeah but debricat....

🙄
- Boss34

Was talking Detroit and what about the Cat, almost at 60pts. I would have taken his production for 6m

Agreed.

Or Olofsson. Or Comrie.
- Powerslave

Why not bench some of these guys the rest of the way. Call up some replacements... Whats to lose

If next year is more of the same

Granato 3 years no playoffs
Adams 4 years no playoffs

They better get their poop together this off season.

If Adams doesn't want to make some trades he will be out on his ass.

The Sabres were the youngest team in the league for the majority of the season.

The 2 most important positions in hockey are locked in for the next 7 seasons with great contracts.

The have a top 5 defenseman and a recent 1OA as well.

Legit #1 nhl line....

Everyone vents, vent with another venter.

Exactly.

Everyone ready to anoint Stevie Y as some savior, they're going to lap the Sabres this year, yada, yada, yada.
- Powerslave

Never said that, and doesn't mean what he did won't work.

Just look at the pre trade deadline record and post.

- Boss34

All these guys know it's a business. Most of them were probably very happy for Asplund. He was getting a chance to play.

Explain greenway and stillman ?

Win now additions?

Explain greenway at the end of the game short handed?

Explain greenway on the 1st line and not skinner

Explain pegulas history of tanking

Take your time
- Boss34

I have no idea what you’re on about. We know KA tried to swing some deal and failed. Then the pieces he was able to land wound up being bad.

Youth is no damn excuse to stop competing.... period

Not if I am GM.... Those guys wouldn't be here right now...
- rapperray

If you were gm , tage might not be here.

Pulling the trigger early can backfire with young players...

- rapperray

Sitting Jost (and he's no savior, but at least you know you're going to get the effort) over a few of these guys is just a bizarre decision.

Youth is no damn excuse to stop competing.... period
- rapperray

If anything its the opposite. Youth should be competing.

You now what will be a big sign that player's believe in what's happening and how things are moving forward. If Dahlin works on a contract extension this summer.

Don Granato is not the coach for this team.

He has no defensive system.

Talk about someone who will destroy Levi.

- Buff36

Guys got 21 goals and a -27 on a stacked offensive team.

Some how your acting like it would be a better Sabres season with him...

Over perhaps the almost 30goals. Guy

If anything its the opposite. Youth should be competing.
- sabresfan69

Exactly... Their overexuberance may lead to mistakes but that is how they learn... Not sitting back being afraid to make a mistake....

Been a healthy scratch for Nashville a few times. Interesting.
