Sabres Fan in NS

He got you Liger. He got you.

Hey, hey, hey, hey ... this is what you wanted ... this is what you're going to get ....... LAVOIE!! ?

I knew where you were drifting. Just playing. The Sabres have been on an extended break (why is it that it seems like only they are on holiday for 10 days) and all the natives are quite restless. I still hold out hope, as he is still very young as goalers go. I have not really followed his development post draft. Is he still in the Montréal org?

I like your longer version just fine. It is nowhere near the too long point. Some?????? (insert winkie thingie here) Let's see ... Fucale ... oooppppssss MacKinnon, Drouin (I came up with Wookieesq skeem to draft all three), Ehlers, Meier, Hischier ...

What are the chances the two boneheaded sides will come to their senses before drop dead date? Not very good, I'm afraid.

Hey, I have been scouting the Mooseheads for years and actively trying to convince the Sabres to draft at least one Moosehead every year since the 2013 draft. I have a very strong feeling that this is the draft. LAVOIE!! ?

He is doing very well as an 18 year old rookie. I believe he will become all he is to become in year 4, maybe 5. He will only be 22, or 23, years old. Imagine that. I think he will sign a contract in the 8x$8 to $8.5 range. Possibly as soon as the summer after this coming summer. Like Jack did, if I recall correctly, with 1 year left on his ELC.

Why is it that it seems that the Sabres get an extended break and no one else does? +++++ Next ... Why are we giving this clown the time of day?

Oh, man ... ... where to begin?

Of all the terrible 'hot takers' that have come along over the years, this guy is the most terrible, IMO.

I have a funny feeling about this guy. We really have a live one on our hands.

Shove your wink.

Your sensitivity comment is not very sensitive at all. Anyway, carry on ...

Maybe it's just me and I will cut you some slack as you are new here, but the way you present your arguements is rather unpleasant. Take care and prepare yourself to be disappointed. I really do not think that the trade(s) you want are going to happen.

I didn't ///

Once the decision was made to go full scorched earth there was no other way except for a slow rebuild. That is JBOT's stated plan. Trading for a 2C at this point is a desperate move and goes against his plan. I assume you meant Murray going bonkers and trading everybody. He tried some desperate moves and they all backfired terribly and we had to pretty much start over. You mentioned the ROR trade as being bad, but in JBOT's mind, obviously it had to be made. I would think that trading away one of the best two way centres in the NHL was not easy.

I was one of the very few anti-tankers primarily because I felt it was wrong and because that it set up the very likely possibility of a prolonged period of losing. I am just afraid that if we trade now than the proper rebuilding plan will be so disrupted that it will set us back again. Your points are well made and duly noted, though.

I do not agree with what you are selling here, but like LGR, I welcome you and your contributions (you have defended your points well in your first post and I would say that many here will agree with your stance) to our little corner of the Internet. We are a great big loving and very dysfunctional family around here. Sent you a beer.

Let's see ... Two top tier forwards ... check One tradeable good forward ... check Top notch defender and then some pretty good ones ... check @GASabresIUFAN ... your first few points are describing the Sabres to a 'T'. So, the two teams are not all that different. And then more stuff that is very similar. Our GM is better, so far, since he has not been fired yet.

Oh, my Sultan. Those are the second biggest set of Prayer beads that I have ever seen.

Schilling is not in because the first half of his career, at least, maybe even 2/3 was crap. Oh, and he is one of the biggest ***** out there doesn't help.

'you say black; I say white' 'you say bark; I say bit' 'you say shark; I say, hey, man ... Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars'

No you're right. That's it.

I think I got my jingles mixed up there ... I am pretty certain that it went ... 'wonderful, wonderful ... wonder _ _ _' There was one for wonderbread too.

Wonderful. wonderful ... wonderbread.
