On a scale of 1 to 10, what is your confidence level with Sabres management that they would pull of a trade that nets a return like that?
- kingcong39

I have a confidence level of about 1 for them doing anything right with this team. It’s why I ditched my seasons.

Borgen being sent to the taxi squad better just be a paper move, he deserves more playing time, he was one of the better players on the ice against the Islanders.

I thought Seinfeld was VERY overrated
But i think that about a lot of tv shows that ppl like

You would

What- exactly - is so great about now or the last 5 seasons we can't trade Jack? Why is it so important to lose with Jack? What has he done?? Please let me know.

Acting like we can't get better without him is silly. Derek Roy captained this team to the playoffs WITH LESS TALENT AROUND HIM!!!!!! Jack gets more credit for doing squat than anyone in sports. He's nothing like Mike Trout or Watson.
- lacaprup

We had miller to save us

Can't argue that, but Jack's days of going uncriticized are over. I'll stop when he starts dominating games.
- lacaprup

Seeing how he did it last year and the year before ..

He's playing injured and the front office is doing nothing.

Somehow this team needs to break through at get some confidence, you can see it in there post game interviews, lifeless eyes. Darcy andTM started the bloodletting and Ralph has continued it cause he seems to have sucked the life out of these players.

Alex Wennberg looks to be redeeming himself in Florida

He’s been solid all around player so far. Lately has chipped in a few goals. It does help when you have this guy dishing the puck to you.

Well one would assume Davis slots into Brown’s spot

Are u saying you’d want an upgrade over Davis then?
I’ve been told he’s “very good”
- jdfitz77

Davis replaces Brown. Gabe is very good indeed.
Draft pick replaces Davis.

It ain't that hard.

Bill Zito listened to his analytics team and signed Wennberg and Verhagee.

Our analytics team said to go sign Cody Eakin, go figure.

We have to remember to the other kid they drafted last year Hodgins. He was having a decent camp to until he got hurt and went on IR. Take a flier on John Ross, speed to burn, and should come cheap.

Whom wonder who there Senior Advisor is to the GM. Oh wait it's the guy are owner told, What can you tell me that we don't know.

Think Milano has priced himself out of Buffalo, don't think he will get it in FA with the cap going down, but looks like he's looking for about 14mill a year. Think Collins or Bolton could fill that spot.

Wennberg is dogsh¡t, always has been. 7 points in 14 games isn't exactly great. And he's shooting 22.2% on top of it for a career 8% shooter. He had one solid season 4 years ago in which he scored 11 EV goals. Give me a (frank)ing break on him. Eakin sucks, Wennberg sucks too, just less, but that's not saying much. Wennberg with Okposo would suck real bad too.

Verhaeghe's having a very good season, but he's also playing about twice as much as he was last year, and shooting north of 23%.

Neither will hold up over the course of even just 56 games. Especially Wennberg who has many seasons of sucking badly under his belt.

Right, and when the shooting percentages regress they have both proven to be very good defensively.

Wennberg and Verhaeghe combined make less then Eakin

Wennberg and Eakin make the same amount. Yes Eakin has an extra year, but celery is celery.

And I guarantee you if Okposo played with them they would very much not be "very good" defensively.

Again, Eakin sucks, but Wennberg sucks too, and they make the same amount of money.

Shouldn't that go the same with Eakin having that ball and chain Okposo with him. Eakin was decent until Okposo came back.

Wennberg and Eakin make the same amount, Wennberg is decent defensively.

It's still early in the season. Let's see if he regresses as the season gets longer, as players like that tend to do, before we crown Bill Zito a genius.

It’s honestly amazing how players have were good before they come to Buffalo. Get here and fall off the face of the earth

Hall
Skinner
Sheary
Johansson
Montour
Berglund
Colin Miller

The list goes on and on.

Yea you’re right. Wennberg, Janmark, Soderberg all signed roughly in that same time frame and I got the cap hits confused.

Regardless Wennberg is a better hockey player than Eakin plain and simple.

Or AJ Klein. He actually improved a ton during the year. The first few games he was a lost cause .... then magically found his game.

Of course his shooting percentage is going to regress, he is paid to flip the ice and surpress opportunities against and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

He’s exactly what we could have used as a 3C here

Sure, but you still have to find a LB with Milano's skill set and Collins from Tulsa and Bolton can fill that roll. AJ had a good second half, but he still isn't a great cover LB
