Didn't say but I wonder. Seems pretty messed up in 1992 to still have policies like that. -

Anyone see the Grant Fuhr pregame? He was denied membership to a Buffalo area country club in 1992? What? -

Okposo doh -
I was never in the trade Sam category but I think it could be time to listen if teams are calling.

Posted in another thread but worth posting in here. Plenty of good arguments for firing and keeping HCRK and plenty of suggestions of who to hire to replace him but I think people are missing an option. If they fire RK this season, they will likely just promote Appert from Rochester. I think it comes down to money but the excuse will be Covid etc How do we feel about Appert as HC?

You watch alot of Amerks games right? Was he that bad last year when he earned an all star bid and won 14 games? Kids these days are fragile man -
Too bad they didn't have the hamburgler around this year. He's also in Minnesota apparently.

With all the Eichel speculation I wonder if he took the last two games off for a "mental health break"? -
Risto just seems like he's more ready to lead right now.
-
I wonder if Jack is a "mood vampire?" He is the captain, by definition he should be leading by example. If he comes into the room pissy every day it would definitely have a negative effect. Watching ROR didn't help Jack learn to lead, and probably is why he is the way he is now. Strip Jack of the C. Give it to Risto!!

I know it's a case of be careful what you wish for. The guy could go out and get roasted for 7 goals today and people will point and say, I told you so. That said I'd still like to see him get a game. Why not at this point? The only chance they have is catching a spark and it hasn't come from the current lineup of stars on the ice. Maybe guys rally around the inexperienced guy? -
Opportunity is knocking. He hasn't played in a while and and it looks like he's not in game shape though. They're saying he may require a conditioning stint in AHL. Why not?

Well said. I like the Turgeon/ LaFontaine reference. That period in Sabres hockey was so exciting, even when Afinigenov had the puck and didn't know what to do with it. In the meantime if they feel trades are needed, I'd dabble in the odds and ends and leave Jack where he is. Start with Hall and Montour at the deadline. Guage the market for some others. See if anyone will bite on Hutton, they might feel that with the right team around him he could be a veteran backup who could steal a win or two down the stretch? It's far fetched but it could happen, he had a decent reputation when he came here. People will say this is not how it works with today's athletes but I tend to agree with this.

I'm rooting for him, he's the underdog. RK will prolly play Hutton unfortunately -
Ullmark OUT at least a Month/ Eichel Day to Day with a Lower Body Injuries
Norcal replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
That's my point. Give him a chance. Since Ullmark is out anyways, I'd give him some games. Unfortunately UPL needs the games in Rochester but the Ullmark injury just opened the door of opportunity in Buffalo He's getting the Mika Norenon treatment lol Actually, I take that back. Atleast Norenon got a chance. -

I know, big leap. Just sayin, he deserves a bigger opportunity. If it doesn't happen here, I'm betting he will get it somewhere. -

Take a look at Millers first 18 games. Good thing he got a real shot. -

That's not a real shot. He deserves a chance to see what he can do. -

JJ has not been given an NHL opportunity. He deserves a bank of games to see if he can play. The guy has been solid every time he's been given opportunity to start including 14-4 and an all star in the AHL last season. What do they have to lose by starting him? More games? Also, Adams could make a move if one is available leading to an opportunity for whoever is acquired. -
I know it happens and that my opinion is in the minority when it comes to how to handle it. I guess I'm just not ready to give up on the player and without inside knowledge of his true feelings about the situation I wouldn't trade him. Ultimately I want to see Jack win in Sabres blue n gold!
