These NMC are a real problem for teams. We're going to be substantially limited in trade possibilities and KA will get grilled if he makes a trade or doesn't.

Another wonderful post. Sad.

To be fair he's a weekly guest and he's getting the same questions. If there's nothing to report that's what you'll get. Better than those who throw out anything without substance backing it up. I think LeBraun and Dreger are fine but their not going to throw out stuff just to get attention.

Agree. We need at least a top six forward and top tier prospect and a first round pick as well.After that's filled upgrade goalkeeper. I'm holding out hope they can re-sign Rhino. Not against using Risto+ to get more scoring and goalkeeper. Maybe VO in a package as in my eyes he's not a top six guy.

You didn't. It's just the constant drumbeat of a few crusaders against the organization. Hey, I'm frustrated too but to use any post to just bash the organization is tiring at this point but that may be just me. KA and Karmonis may crap the bed and if they do there will be ample time to discuss it.

Yeah, he may be just too old at this point to sign him for term.

Please give us a break. Really this comment on a thread with nothing to do with the Sabres. We understand you detest the team but why use this to once again tell us.

Could it be us fans go by established names? Teams many times don't hire who we would want. BB for instance. He may eventually get hired but for most of us that would have already happened. Gallant was the one guy I'd maybe pick over the guy we already have. Not sure he was interested in us or we in him. Granato is the guy that at this point looks as good as anyone for me.

Unfortunately this is very possible. I hope he would accept a good offer but I'm doubtful.

For PA? Owners going to a game would be meddling😂

Karmanos?

I'm ready to say Jack is a problem. The only problem? Maybe because he's a captain wbo acts like nothing like one.

Rene and Hasek! Great Sabre moves.

Some who advocate blowing it up should realize we've pretty much put ourselves in the position we're in by doing that. From management down. I know it's probably not happening but Rhino should be signed long term if he is willing. Jack, unfortunately, has set himself up to get out. Both the organization and Jack have responsibility in that.

Oh, I agree but if it takes him to be a part of a better overall deal I think he's expendable. Do I want him traded? No.

It gets him an element of support from some fans to side with him. A simple trade demand might alienate some.

That's true but the minority can ruin it for the rest. They need to quit almost promoting it as "great fans". One of the reasons I don't go to games is the unruly drunk fans. Some I think the game is secondary to the party.

I had my "widow maker artery" stented now almost twenty years ago but my heart damage was minimal. Sounds like this could be severe. Prayers for him.

Man, that tailgating culture? Embarrassment.

VO is expendable. I think he's a power play guy but not a top six guy five on five.

He did ok figuring he was using goalies walking off the street practically. I think you overestimate the team Granato had to play with and underestimate the improved play of many young players the previous coach didn't utilize. Frankly I think you're against anything connected to this franchise.

Sad. Hopefully full recovery.

Hope not. Still hope they can sign him but I'm not confident. Jack gone for sure unless no close to reasonable offer is out there which I doubt.

Well he's probably a better leader than our present captain.

What's wrong? Both sides have probably some blame here. My impression of Jack? Super talent. Probably needs to mature to blend that talent to be a leader. Played hardball a bit and went public for no valid reason except to set the stage for his departure. Franchise under ownership of the Pegulas probably by their poor management caused a negative atmosphere in general. Still Jack didn't need to give that exit interview which I think was for only selfish (immature) reasons. I know for me personally that was my first turn in questioning Jack's motives. Sure KA was not happy about that and probably other behind scenes things.
