I agree I'm a big fan of Teddy. I think it's an interim spot to see how this team does under him and if it goes well then it's long term

I think Ted will get the players to play hard more than Rolston did. You don't bench your only scorers and expect to win games.

No one should be complaining about either one of these guys. I think Ted Nolan will get more out of this current squad than Rolston and the hiring of Lafontaine for hockey operations and the firing of Darcy just made my day. I have been waiting for Regier to get fired for a very long time now.

What Ted Nolan said is so true about this team. Is he needs them to compete which right now isn't at all.

I think Devine and the scouts have done a good job. I like the hiring of Ted Nolan.

I disagree he had a great coach with mediocre players besides Hasek

###### Yeah Ted Nolan as head coach. Love it

Wow it's about time. Love the hiring of Pat Lafontaine and what's Ted Nolan doing there. If he's coach it's will be the ######! Loved Ted Nolan

Vanek out already for the Islanders ! Looking like a bust for New York. And the whole thing will be worse if they can't resign him.

Me personally after watching the Sabres blue and gold with Devine. Devine seemed set at Risto at 8 and then another scout mentioned Zadorov at 16. I'm thinking the scouting staff has a huge input in these picks. I highly doubt Regier is watching a lot of these kids on tape.

Devine and the scouts run who they pick. I think Darcy sits back and let's them do their job. Devine and the scouts run who Buffalo picks. I believe Darcy lets them do their jobs.

Well no one wants Stafford and that 4mil that he's making. That being said Ennis and Vanek are there go to shooters in the shoot out. Good thing is this team won't get many shoot outs so they don't have to worry about using Stafford much. But hopefully Stafford gone by deadline.

I'm curious to see what Vanek does now with a true #1center. I think Vanek is one of the best pure scorers in the game and now he gets to play with someone that has some serious skill. Should be interesting. They need to give that scout that wanted Zadorov a raise. It seemed like they were set on Ristolainen when Zadorov might actually be the better player. This is exactly the things the scouts can't miss on with all these future picks. They have the next few years to scout all these youngsters big time, they should all be eat, sleep, drink all these junior games finding the right players. Nothing but time on their hands these scouts have.

The move had to be made but it still doesn't change my feeling for Darcy! He still needs to be Shitcanned when all these unrestricted players are gone. If I were a betting man I would bet against Buffalo every game this season. They have shown me nothing up front besides Hodgson. Which now says Stafford is your big gun. Wow that's scary!

I still believe this team won't be a playoff team at least 3-5 years maybe more. This team right now is just awful. Losing Vanek will hurt Hodgson in the short term. This is only the beginning. Once Miller, Ott and Moulson gets moved you are like an expansion team with a ton of picks.

U do realize they will suck next year as well! These youngsters still need developing. See Edmonton. 3-4 years at least.

Problem is they have to win the draft lottery and there is no guarantee that happens.

Be funny if we traded Moulson to the Rangers!

Yes it's great Darcy is loading up on picks but this is being said this is a weak draft class so all these picks don't mean much. Plus by the time u develop any of these players in 3-4 years. This is going to be a very long rebuild!

Devine is head of scouting and is in charge of all these picks. This gives the scouts more ammo to do there job. They can't afford to miss on these 1st and 2nd rounders. They really need to load up for the 2015 draft. If they don't land the 1st pick for McDavid that year they have to throw a lot of these extra picks for him. I think we will play in Buffalo when he's close to the end of his career. I don't see him leaving Chicago if he ever leaves.

It would be nice if Darcy isn't the guy. Here is how I see it the scouts are picking the best players available with Devine running the draft. Problem is Darcy doesn't have a clue to build the ship. And by that I mean players strengths.

Darcy did well with this trade. Not many teams have 7 million cap space to work with so he was limited to only so many teams. I see Moulson getting dealt by deadline. Miller, Ott and Moulson you 3 are all up! It's just a matter of when and where.

It's not over yet Miller, Ott, and Moulson all will be gone by deadline. No way Moulson stays for this crap. It's going to be a long long rebuild.

As much as we want the Kids on this team I would much rather send them all down until RR and DR are shown the door then let the new GM and new coach decide. I wouldn't put them through this crap!

When season tickets are at an all time high this year for this garbage. It's pretty sad that people are paying to watch this. I no longer live in Buffalo but watch and dvr all games since I left and I try to see them when they go to Phoenix, Anaheim and Los Angeles. But not the last couple of years because they suck and can't play a complete game if their lives depended on it. But this years team takes the cake. Outshot badly, can't score and their not even entertaining to watch. It should have never gotten this bad. Going on those meaningless winning streaks the last couple of years cost us solid draft positions to get a player that could make an impact. Plus when u throw in no balls Darcy to try to make a bold move in moving up he always states the cost will be too high. Yes it sucks u have to maybe give up a lot to make a move but sometimes it must be done. That's why I liked Brian Burke a lot because even though he had some questionable moves he went out to get the players he wanted even if he had to overpay to get them.
