It’s worth it: at best that was always my point What would samuelsson cost on a long term deal today? He certainly wouldn’t cost more than what we paid the messaging itself was as much the endgame as any potential future value. Maybe they even knew that, but it’s backfired so far. As of now there has been zero justification for that contract

Playes on the roster you like more/less than the rest of the forum/fans

Everyone lists the same guys lol -
Most players in the league do NOT have NTCs. The implication that trading is “essentially closed” to us is absurd here’s the list, about 3-4 per team https://www.thefourthperiod.com/no-trade-clauses Trading is a barrier re: the Sabres winning the Cup. You need a lot to go your way to do that. Trading isn’t a barrier to the Sabres being a playoff team, ie, mediocre, ie, 16 out of 32. Not with a shred of competence If a GM doesn’t have the competence to navigate the trade market as is, he’s not going to have the ability to navigate it from slightly higher ground

I’ve been preaching this for a good long while: unwillingness to lose a battle to win a war I agree with your premise

I’m agreeing with you that he’ll probably approach it that way, tho. The post I responded to seemed to doubt he’d accomplish even what you mentioned: I said I could totally see 4th line upgrades

Lol oh you mean the one-liner you slipped in at the end of the post with the verbiage “wouldn’t be too angry”, from a poster who generally speaks with conviction? Nice try. You don’t believe it’s possible

It’s very rarely only one thing. If you can’t win, you can at least be right. - - - But GA’s post is pretty low-level stuff. Same old “top 9 is set” stuff. I get that KA doesn’t do anything, but he doesn’t really do NOTHING. A 4th line retool in the offseason with the rest likely untouched is hardly swinging for the fences

No Quinn update yet, eh? green check for yes red x for no Thumbs up for yes and it’s good news thumbs down for yes and it’s bad news Cup emoji for Quinn has been dealt for an even better player crying emoji for Quinn has been dealt for an even worse player vomit emoji if Quinn has lost his love of the game eye-roll for me wasting your time

You are correct, here, imo All the “reactions” a poster receives get tabulated and recorded, obviously looking at one’s profile I think people generally take the big red X as a negative ala “I disagree.” It’s obvious what Taro meant but given that, again, it’s added to the rest of the total same as always, doesn’t make sense to dish out an X in that way. I don’t know how much, if at all, people care about the Reactions but they are used a lot so I’d hazard to say at least somewhat

Sabres are tied for 6th in regulation wins in the conference lol 8th in regulation or OT wins Tied for 10th in wins Tied for 13th in points …So we aren’t getting enough OT wins, S/O wins, and loser points. Those are getting subbed for outright losses Regulation losses: tied for 2nd last -
