As @dudacek pointed out to me (that I think I finally understood this very morning), the cap situation would be no different. By doing what he did, it frees up a roster spot for an actual player.

I keep investing in the NJ Lottery.

This has to stop. It would have been a failure with or without Ruff. Also, Lindy’s results, post Sabres, weren’t much different than when he was here. In fact, they were the very results that convinced people that we needed to go scorched earth and do a GD stupid ***** Tank. I say it was a mercy done to him by letting hime go.

I genuinely don’t care if that person dies. It’s their choice. We were coming back from the MoMA yesterday and I was just hoping for one of these guys to go up and over the barrier on the West Side Highway. Am I a bad person?

Agreed.

North Tonawanda. Yes, there is a difference. No, there isn't. EDIT: And I'm pretty sure he is not head of jersey design, but a part of the design team. EDIT:EDIT: I stand corrected. Just checked. He is the head guy.

Had a rough week and a top 10 worst day this week. Today, I'm finding new and wonderful music all over the internet. F'N Awesome!

Was it that high? You have to assume that those 3 first round picks are going to be late, and, most likely, none of them were going to turn into a Tkachuk. Weager’s replaceable. I think Florida gat better.

Twitter is not a good gauge of anything.

I honestly have no idea. Just being silly, thus the smiley face. 7th was where one of the tweet posts had them. Nope. Our (or at least mine) point was that we weren’t sure how excited we should be (my thought was not at all) about our prospect pool being ranked high, as it has been ranked high in the past,… and we still sucked this year. I keep being told “it’s different this time”. (I’ve been told that before, as well.) I have no problem with the rankings as I really don’t care. I have too much to do other than pay a lick of attention to hundreds of kids playing around the globe, and like I said, I’m just not sure how much it matters. That’s fine. I guess I’ll just have to take youse guyses wordses for it. And I truly hope you are right. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I put them around 7th. 😂

Well, they drafted Power, so this must be true, I guess. Until any single pick by KA has proven a single thing at the NHL level, I remain doubtful. I think we’ll find out soon enough, like 2-4 years. Oof, The Grand Pyramids took less time to build.

Simple question. Will the Sabres make the playoffs this season? That wouldn’t even mean that they are good, just not bottom half of the league. I can’t say with any certainty and that’s kinda sad. Hope is not a srategy.

The gullibility comes from still buying the only product they have to sell, the “future” or “soon”, after 11 plus years. Eventually, the team is going to have to start selling “winning.” Maybe not. Wait. Aren’t you one of those that keeps pointing out that it’s different this time?

Thanks for wasting even more of my time.

Should I know what NF stands for?

If Cozens breaks out this year, it will be as a winger. My breakout player this year is Mitts.

That really should be on their opening night posters- The Buffalo Sabres Welcome to the ‘22-‘23 Season! You Have Suffered Enough We’re Finally Icing an NHL Roster! (We Think)

Here’s looking forward to finally beating that team’s point total for the year. 🍺

I’m posting about the prospect pool in a thread about the prospect pool. Not sure where else I should post it. I just find it funny that everyone is so convinced that it is somehow different this time. Everyone likes each other and gets along and “wants to be here” and so therefore they’ve turned some mythical corner because they played some decent hockey at the end of another lost season. I hope y’all are right. But we have been here before. And right now, in the middle of summer, I see nothing to tell me we are going to be good in the regular season. Until our glorious prospect pool proves itself in the regular season, it means nothing.

Then why should I (anybody) care? We’ve been ranked high before and still haven’t seen the playoffs In forever.

Like PA said, we’ve been at or near the top of the prospect pool rankings off an on for a decade. It means nothing until it means something. I’m going to wait until the first 2 months of a season look good before I’m convinced.

Awesome! Did we win something else in the offseason? PA is right. This has been a reoccurring theme for some time now. I yawn every time. Someday it will translate to the regular season, I mean, its just gotta?… right!?

So, Fedex 2 day. Shipped this morning,… Thursday. Estimated arrival, Monday by 10 pm. Status - On Time. Again, Fedex 2 day. Ummmmm,… k

😂 The Buffalo Sabres. Forever 2 years away from being good. Do people actually believe this, or is it just something that rolls off the tongue now after almost a decade of suck? #itsnotatanktank
