Weave

Don’t know a damned thing about Bjork. But I’m nearly 100% certain we are a worse team today than we were yesterday..... for the 10th season in a row. Lets establish that winning culture. Boston gets it, Buffalo doesn’t. And the fanbase accepts it as inevitable and acceptable.

This time of the season had made me twitchy for 10 seasons now. For 10 seasons we’ve ended the season with a less good team than we started with, all for some low percentage chances at a player 3-4 years from now. And all 10 seasons we haven’t been good enough to afford to get worse. I get your complaints.

I get that. I’d also rather have Irwin a healthy scratch for the remainder of the season than have the 3rd round pick, but that wasn’t the context of my post. Some posters cannot seem to grasp that a player with less than 2 dozen games left on hos contract is worth alot less than the same player with 2 yrs remaining on that contract and want to blame the GM for it.

Play to win the rest of the season, even if it means we don't get a return for Ullmark. We cannot afford to continue to allow losing to be acceptable to yet another generation of young players. Yet another price to be paid for the decisions that led us here.

We gave up a 1 and a prospect when he had 2 seasons remaining on his contract. We got a 3 because he has 15 games remaining on his contract. Why is this so hard?

Did this happen? I don't recall this being discussed here.

Pshaw

IMO it’s about even. You can’t develop well in the environment the team created.

I don’t know. He’s not exactly lighting it up on a better team. He might just be done. He’s no Kozlov.

3 per year is statistically unrealistic and unsustainable.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree lol

We here on Sabrespace clamored for Montour for 2 seasons. Then we got him. I think you’re probably correct.

Something, something, narrative, something. Did I do that right?

Who?

I don’t think this is an addition by subtraction situation though. As much as we’ve all been underwhelmed by Montours play, We didn’t improve because of this trade. Right now his replacement is...... Irwin? So PAs comment is correct.

Agree with this. Hate this time of the season. We need hockey trades not scratch off tickets

So did I but I know who he was. Then again, I still don't ignore new music.

What stuck out to me regarding Mittlestadt's goal is he was in tight to score it. We don't have enough players that go there. He ducked behind all the traffic and got way inside to score that goal. Good for him. Not enough Sabres go there.

In all fairness, you’re a rare bird.

That isn’t what you read in the article you linked.

That. Is. Awesome. Lol

That was my exact argument against all the posters here that were clamoring for a coach that wasn’t a retread. At least that has died off.

Haven’t listened to 97Rock in at least a decade. Probably more. Were any of the morning show that got let go any of the old guard? Any Buffalo radio icons, or are they all long gone?

Who the what now?

We have all of the Rasmus variants, might as well have all of the Olofsson/Olausson variants as well.
