At this rate, I would be open to getting picks (or pucks) for him. It would be addition by subtraction. At this point, he is the player that is blocking. I won’t say that Cozens doesn’t have the heart, but there are better players that can take his place and we’ll get out of a horrible contract.

This sounds like a “heart” or coaching issue. The Sabres’ skills don’t go down as the game progresses. Either their effort goes down or the opposing coaches make changes to neutralize them. I don’t think this is a conditioning issue as these are young players. They comes out excited and feel like they’ve done enough by the 2nd or 3rd period.

I think this is their best chance of showing him off. If they kept him buried, there’s less of a chance someone will want him.

This is why I was hoping for the Cozens for Kasper trade to materialize. Sure, it starting over with a younger player, but it’s sort of like a do over for the Cozens contract.

The best we can hope for is if Jarmo would like to come (and put up with Terry). That said, he was the BJs GM for 11 years. And it took this long to see success. Maybe he learned something over the years.

That’s usually the kiss of death. After seeing what happened to our other “can’t miss” younger players, I really can’t muster a lot of optimism for Kulich. He’s playing very well though.

Imagine that. A team with goalie issues early in the season went out and did something about it.

Points are really meaningless here. This is not a playoff team. Playoff teams don’t win 2 lose 2 win 3 lose 3…. It’s constant up and down with more downs than ups sprinkled in. Too little too late. Unless they go on a win-streak equal to their losing streak, the season is finished.

Can’t hit on all of them I guess.

Let’s make this a real hockey trade. No shuffling chairs on the deck. Raymond for Power.

I won’t look. As another poster has pointed out, I think we have a pretty good shot of winning this game.

But we both know the end result. Like Groundhog Day.

It’s not out of the question. It happens every single year for them.

Don’t know why the poll is already closed, but the answer is obvious. They will go on a tear. Play 0.600 hockey and in the end, will miss the playoffs by 1-2 games. KA will say it was a learning year for Lindy and the team is well on their way.

They let go of the Boogyman too. Maybe he can help our players grow some hair on their nuts.

But at the same time, they are diluting the value of their clubs. If there were 5 teams, people would murder to get one. 50? Not so much. But I do see the appeal of immediate cash.

He won’t hire a hockey guy to make the best hockey decisions for this club. He’s insulated by “yes” men. The thing is, the most competent hockey guy out there who is available is likely going to be an ***** and won’t put up with or know how to handle the meddling. That said, it’s Terry’s team. He’s allowed to do as he pleases, but don’t pretend winning is #1. It isn’t.

He’ll definitely get there, but at what cost? The NHL should snuff this guy out before he permanently hurts someone. For him, blindsiding a guy into the boards wasn’t good enough, he led with his forearm into the back of his neck to make sure his face got the brunt of it.

Ryan Reynolds, the kid from the X Files episode?

Buffalo didn’t call anyone for a job interview. There was only one call, a job offer.

I just don’t see how players can revolt against a GM for roster construction. Don’t they have a shred of insight in that they may be the roster problem? And that they may be the one that is moved to construct a better roster. A true roster leader wouldn’t automatically assume it’s the other guy that’s the problem.

Would this be reason to effectively forfeit? Such a player wouldn’t play another game in the NHL. Any roster not built to win a round or 2 in the playoffs should give up?

Why would we support them taking a knee? lol. They are the problem. But I wouldn’t put it past them to deflect the blame.

I am fine with trading away every single player on this team. It could be like an expansion draft where we make trades instead of drafting our team. That said, I don’t want KA to do it. I’m sure other teams are swimming around like sharks right ready to take a bite of the rotting carcass and we’ll end up taking on cap dumps like the St Louis trade. Send KA on his way and bring in a real NHL GM. Let him sort it out, including Lindy’s fate.

I don’t think I would be upset if any player on this team was moved. Tage, Dahlin, whoever else. Wouldn’t matter and I would understand.
