Jacob Bryson taken out for Brandon Davidsson.

Bryson was fun to watch so out you go.

Krueger is infinitely worse than Housley or Bylsma and that’s insane to say

.@JFowlerESPN said on Sports Center the #Bills are still one of the teams being considered by JJ Watt who has narrowed his list down to 3-5 “serious contenders.” Said a decision is very likely next week & as long as he gets “market value” it’s more about winning a super bowl
- Elite Josh Allen

Just gotta be patient, I know they have a offer on the table for him, just so many teams jumped in. But he ain't getting 15mill a year from the Bill's unless something changed. Could be some news on Feliciano this week.

He's a good player, I always likes him.

I did too - he was a great combination of grit and skill. That said, he always felt like things could go south at any time. I understand not wanting to commit to him long term.

A train wreck who’s also almost scored a few goals as opposed to Matt Irwin and Brandon Davidson who are just train wrecks

Every time I see him scoring in San Jose and watch us play, I say "That's the exact type of player we are missing on this team."

This team's two biggest mistakes during this entire era under Pegula are trading Kane and trading ROR. Not the returns, I don't even care at this point. Trading the players themselves.

I don't care what the reasons for it are, and they all boil down to Pegula telling his GM to trade them anyway, but we need a Kane and an ROR right now and have for the past 3 years since we traded them.

We also traded any player of value who could have stepped into their roles and at least gotten the job done.

I honestly think the best thing for us at this point might really be to consider trading Jack for a few prospects and picks, and re-build a little on the fly. We haven't done anything with him here at this point, build around Dahlin and 6K.

2 of the worst moves in Sabres history trade wise anyway. We got nothing in either deal.

That's what well-managed organizations do, make smart depth moves, not just over-pay for career 4th-liners in Free Agency.

True, but I don't see killing them for sitting him for a game. It really was bad at times. I don't understand taking Miller out. I loved the Miller and Mountour trades at the time but both have been completely misused.

Did you sleep for their tenures here? You know, the worst three year stretch in team history?

My god over romanticism of players who hated it here is the worst

Typical Cashman, get your starters to go 4 innings and then bring in RP.

I think trading Kane and ROR set this team back further than losing Briere/Drury.

It's not even close.

I don't like some of my co-workers but I try to get along with them and work together to make a good product. God forbid entitled rich kids do it playing a fun game for a living.

It's been over 7 years since Darcy said we should get used to more suffering... And here we are, still in last place.

Makes you really wonder how much his hands were tied by the previous ownerships - Say what you will, he was smart enough to know blowing up a middle organization in the name of a tank would hurt the structure of our system far worse than losing star players over half a million dollars...

All joking aside, I think the team has looked better without him, despite what the record is showing.

We really have the absolute worst luck of any team in the league. Posts all day.
