Fine, then Quinn or Johnson++

Sabres said no to Johnson over the summer. Calgary didn't want Mitts. Sabres tried to get him over the summer, but 1 player wouldn't wave his NMC and then the Sabres said no to Johnson at that time.

Jack Eichel (lower body) remains day-to-day, according to Ralph Krueger.

Linus Ullmark (lower body) is undergoing tests. Krueger does not expect Ullmark to be available this weekend.

I hope Ullmark didn't tear his groin

Sabres' lines in practice with Eichel absent:

Olofsson-Lazar-Reinhart
Hall-Staal-Cozens
Rieder-Eakin-Okposo
Skinner-Mittelstadt-Sheahan
Fitzgerald (filling in)-Asplund-Thompson

I mean did Darcy hire a Gypsy to curse us after he was fired, it's been a train wreck since.

Put Asplund in Okposo spot, switch Lazar and Mitts. I swear this coach is getting his system from the book Hockey For Dummies

Never know with those Swedes

That's what $4 million a year gets you. Columbus is paying Torts less.

Ralph said he had no idea that Skinner's agent talked to Kevyn Adams

But he and Adams are in constant communication...

This is a mess

Jeff Skinner's answer when asked if he would prefer to be elsewhere: "No. I love being a Sabre. I love the city of Buffalo. I wouldn’t have chosen to stay here if that wasn’t the case. That answer is simple: no."


At least he is being professional about it

Anyone on here have secondary teams you watch or (secretly) pull for? Asking for a friend...

Just put him where he belongs in the lineup. And fire Ralph into the Sun.

I think Pegula’s fan boy status has gotten him into a ton of trouble with the Sabres. There being a fan from above. And there’s being too hands on when you’re a fan and have only ever been a fan. You take the average poster on this board, not one of the smart ones, and you put them in charge and they think they know what they are doing. And they, as is with pegs, does not know what he’s doing.

If he wants to be in the room, fly the jet around to see players, even make suggestions on how he wants his team to play. That’s fine, but hire the right person to do that!

With skinner, it’s as simple as 89 mentioned weeks ago, Ralph for whatever reason, wants Hall over skinner. The cap won’t allow both. So Ralph has probably whispered enough into Ralph’s ear that this is the way... Personally I think it’s absolutely poopty to do to a guy you just committed to. You always put your players in the best position to succeed and Ralph hasn’t done that with skinner. Period. Just read the Spector article. What Ralph has done with him is a joke. And it’s not going to help break the stigma of this team to the rest of the nhl players.

You thought you couldn’t get coaches to look at this franchise. Good luck getting players here after this... the Buff-a-tax just went up.

I appreciate your point of view.

Pegula's bought the team and kept the longest tenured steady pairing in management positions. Added $ and it didnt work out.
0 fault.

This is when it went bad. Pegula's followed the proven pens double high pick center = Stanley cup formula

They whiff on drysatlyl, and get pouty boston boy instead of McDavid.

Who's making the ror trade? 1st one, tmgm
Ek9 too.
Pegula's aren't calling gms

Bad contracts and bad prospects probably make buffalo a bad spot for good management.

And so on

- DirtyDan

He scored 30 in Carolina

I just think he wants to be in the top 6 (where he belongs)

Clearly Hall and Eichel didn't work together why not run it:

Skinner Eichel Reinhart
Hall Staal Cozens

and keep playing Olofsson on the 1st PP unit?

Sometimes the best solution is the easiest one
