CallawaySabres

Myers said he was getting a lot of mental training this off season (first time ever.) I think I am going to need the mental training if I am really going to attend 22 games this season......

Just watched episode 1 season 1 last night. Can't wait to follow this bad boy. I am officially hooked on Breaking Bad (finally), Sons Of Anarchy, Vikings, Bates Motel and Million Dollar Listing NY (something about that show just motivates me in a good sales way).

Ahh, so basically it's just a more polite way of coming across as a chump?

Not quite sure what that means........

Forget about making Buffalo a destination spot for players OUTSIDE the organization, the brass here needs to figure out a way to keep the top players already here without overpaying them. Until this team is comprised of a solid group of players that win consistently, why in the world would star players WANT to sign here when their contracts are up. Signings like Leino are happening because it is the ONLY way to get the tier 2 players to arrive in Buffalo. Terry's pitch to Ehrhoff and others worked once because everybody thought the Sabres were heading in the right direction (or were overpaid). They are back to ground zero and everyone knows it. The only thing we can hang our hats on right now is that this youth movement has the right mix of players in it. If Buffalo is not a destination spot right now, it is Ted, Terry and Darcy's job to make it one - they have nobody to blame but themselves. Winning is the only solution and that has been a problem far too long. I really think the future of this organization hinges on what the returns are for Miller and Vanek. Is that why they are still here (not traded yet)? Does Darcy know this will be his last chance at GM in the NHL? If he blows this one, you might as well add a couple more years to the rebuild. Having said all of that, I have a strange feeling that when Miller and Vanek are traded, it will be worth the wait and if there is ONE thing Darcy has been fairly good at recently, it's getting a good return. There are some players here that I am pretty excited to see in a couple years but the returns for these two are going to be just as important for the immediate well being of this team.

exactly,get pissed about last year or the previous year's FA - NOT this year's. This is the correct path with the youth movement.

I hope they don't go after ANY free agents this year (unless they are around 25 years old). Throw the team out there and hit FA next year.

I would think Ray Emery could build upon a really nice season he just had.

If Miller wants a long extension at around 6 mill, I think he has another thing coming. I think the Isles have some pretty good and MUCH more affordable options.

Now we just need the Hernandez arrest!

I am starting to think Miller is not going anywhere and when he does go, it's gonna be at the trade deadline for next to nothing. Darcy will be on the ropes to get anything he can and teams will know it.....

That should speed up the Lindy to NY talks.....

Sounds like a Buffalo crowd there in ChiTown. OT to get to the Cup, freaking pathetic.....

Never thought I would see the day but I hope Boston takes the Cup. I hate them so much but I love watching them.

Here is Miller and whatever the hell you want and we'll take Malkin, thank you and have a great day Pitt.. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/06/would-the-penguins-really-consider-trading-malkin/

Another team to add to the Vanek phone calls...... http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/28/sens-gm-murray-ill-deal-prospects-for-offense/

Should be really fun having Detroit in the Division. I never thought I would have an easier time picturing the Bills in the Super Bowl than the Sabres in the Cup....

16 and 17

I can't see them keeping Miller, I really can't. Is there any reason for you to believe this will happen?

Looks like Buffalo was already interested at this past deadline....... http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/22/report-burmistrov-wants-out-of-winnipeg/

If the Blackhawks lose to Detroit, I would think they could shoot to the top of the list of teams to contact for Miller......

So happy about this as my kids just love him. It will already be tough enough telling them Miller is leaving....

THis could not be further from the truth. I think the Bills could not have done ANY better in this draft. They got their number one QB AND an extra 2nd rounder which is worth it alone. EJ was not falling to the 2nd due to the Eagles and if IF he had, no way was he lasting until the Bills 2nd pick. With Manuel, Woods, Alonso and some of the possible gems in the undrafted category, this Bills team has a ton of potential. With the new coaches, I honestly believe this potential will be turned into quite a special group over the next 5 years......

Boston v NY and Chicago v Detroit, awesomeness

You could not pay me a million dollars to be a Leaf fan right now.....
