And we wonder why we've sucked for 14 years
- Buff36

Whom was available ? Ehlers (if even really available) was heard to be costing 3-4 first rounders or the equivalent of. And that's without an Extention .

laine was given away for nothing
chicken man for next to nothing

guentzel
sergachev
hanifin


etc


we instead over pay for guys like mcleod and malenstyn in trades
throw stupid money at zucker and hope Aube-Kubel and Lafferty become the new Hannan and Presley

we aim for the 8th seed and slow play it instead of swinging for the fence, year after year

we have 7 mil in cap space, so that excuse can go out the window

Perfetti, Vatrano

little shocked on spector

tuch has played 199 games for the sabres and has 176 points on a team that stinks

not sure what more he can do on the ice to win people over that he is a first liner

now when his next contract starts, he will probably be paid for a first line winger and regress to second line numbers
- homiedclown

He is good... Low level 1st or higher end 2nd.
He'll be 30 when his next contract begins.
Unless he signs a 3 year deal at that point, trade him because they will then be paying for past not future results.

Adams needs to learn they are assets, not friends. Maybe talk to Brisbois about how he could let his captain go.

makes this look normal

Hurricane Helene roared into Florida Thursday night. As the Tampa Bay region recovers, the Lightning's home game against the Nashville Predators is postponed.

just stop with the excuses

this team has sucked for 13 years due to

a bad owner
bad gms
bad coaches
budget cuts
lack of direction
lack of ability to construct a roster
lack of spending to the cap

all these other teams can make these moves

other small market teams can get all stars to sign there

Who cares what they do, Sabres had the space to do it.

There's excuses. And there is being realistic. You guys are just not realistic. Keep dreaming though.

31 other teams didnt trade for them. I have a hard time believing they were available.

- Buff36

I don't not blame our GM, but also how many players have nulled deals said to be in place?

Quite a few no?

Nashville got Stammer, Marchy and Skjei
Columbus got Monahan
New Jersey got Pesce
Sharks got Toffoli
Seattle got Montour and Stephenson
Washington got Roy

Outside Stammer, none are super high end, but I think star quality for most. I think Homie has a valid point here. From Johnny Gaudreau to Scott Stevens, big names have signed for small market teams in the past.
