Just lose 5-4 the rest of the way and I'll be fine. At least when the trade deadline is over, Miller and Moulson will be gone and THEN we can start to see how much help this team is really going to need. It is just painful to watch Miller steal wins when we all know he is not part of the future.

I just stared at that lineup and just thought...and thought....and then looked at the lineup we have right now. This year can't end fast enough. They might suck next year but at least you will not have to look at all that crappy dead weight.

Grigs, Ennis and a 2nd? Ennis would be the starting piece of this trade - the other 2 parts might as well be Porter and Ellis

So when Miller and Moulson leave, what are we looking at, 2016 earliest for a top 8 spot? How the hell am I going to sell tickets next year....

Yup, just terrible, terrible players. Leino makes me miss Staff and that just hurts my brain typing it.

I seriously don't know if I can mentally handle being the worst team in the NHL 2 years in a row. I hate this season SO freakin much.

If we got to keep our farm system, I would in a heartbeat...

Here is the rule that everyone needs to understand when talking trades. Unless there is a top 3 draft pick or a player going back that makes you think twice, it will NEVER happen. Now for Eberle, those names would include Zadorov, Myers, Girgs or maybe The Hoff

Jim's 2 biggest areas of strength are 3rd downs and Stopping the run - sound like any weaknesses a certain team might have? The fact they got this guy so quickly and convinced him to coach this year (when it has been said he was leaning towards taking a year off) speaks volumes to me. This is a new front office that means business and that should give hope to many fans. This is a GREAT hire in my eyes. This guy is no doubt coming in with a chip on his shoulder which should translate to a pretty nasty D.

I have been hoping that I see a consistency that shows that this guy can be a number 1 for Buffalo but I just don't see it happening. He has his moments but let's face it, this team is thinking one of two things: 1) Trade Miller and all but assure yourself of a top 3 pick next year 2) Do everything they can to make Miller happy and have one hell of an off-season. I think we all know that they are leaning towards option 1 so I sure hope they have a solid plan to fill that tender spot eventually. I really don't think a lot people realize how valuable someone like Miller is to building a champion.

Wow, straight to my favorite player of all time....Reminds me of Jason Voorhees with the stare-down

Well I got my wish, back to line 2 for the Latvian Locomotive.....

Maybe I am off base here but is it wrong to think the Girgs belongs on the 2nd line where he could open up the scoring? I see him as a staple on the 2nd line power wing spot.

I believe so too. I see GIRGenson as a 1st or 2nd line power wing, and a very good one at that. I was hoping GRIGorenko might shape into a 2nd line Center (but that is a total crap shoot at this point)

The way I see it is that there is no way in Hell the Sabres draft after the 4 spot and the top 4 consist of 3 Centers and a can't miss Dman. Edmonton will take the D which means Sabres are in line for a top C no matter what. Let's pray for Grigs to be at least a 2nd line Center someday and we will be looking at '14 draft C, Hodgson and Grigs. Things are stating to look up in my book as the D is going to be just fine. Signing Miller is an absolute must for me though....

Love it, and so true

If this kid can't suck it up for 2 months until he hits Rochester, then I have my answer....

Toronto has Kadri in play but I don't see much much need for him here. He seems very much like Hodgson with not much defensive play to help his game. We still need that number one center (maybe the draft)?

We can't be asking whether Stafford has been playing better, we have to be asking if he is part of the rebuild that puts this team into contender status. Bye bye Drew......

Yeah, Buffalo would really hate to have this guy right now - God I hate Darcy more and more every single day.. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/20/jaromir-jagr-cant-help-but-rave-about-stars-rookie-nichushkin/

indeed it is, but if you want my one talent evaluation of the game, EJ is garbage. It sucks but i believe it to be true and if this organization is smart, they will pick up another 1 in round 1 or 2 of next year's draft.

it is senseless trying to evaluate this game as the entire team packed it in and shut down the season the second that field goal went through in Toronto

Looong way to go but I am starting to like my Cup match-up

I honestly won't even let myself picture this kid on the Sabres because you know, you just KNOW it's not gonna happen right?
