Soooo guess we may be looking for goal tenders.

Do we need more talent? Yes. Still this team seems lost beyond the need for talent.

Still would like an experienced successful person brought in to oversee whole operation. Pegulas have to have experienced president or czar or whatever you want to call them running the franchises. Pegulas are great fans and willing to spend but that seems to have not in itself been the answer to being successful.

Okay, I am on board... Fire Housley!

Something tells me he better show something or he will be moved in off season.

Every state??

Not sure at all he brings down anyone. No, he's not a #1 but I think in frustration many fans exaggerate his flaws. Because of our overall depth he's forced to play minutes and role not suited for him.

I'm not for trading Risto unless there's a plan in place to replace him with another top three type defenseman. Risto with his flaws is a top 2-4 defenseman and would leave a big hole in our defensive core.

Record wise you're right. I think most would agree that the top 6 -7 players on this team talent wise is much better than just a few years ago. They are all very young and it shows.

Well what else it's the end of the period and game.

Usual end of period.

The Sabres PP seems so slow moving the puck around.

Teams really lined up to hire Murray right? Yeah many like his style of bluntness and in some eyes a great guy to hit the bars with but there's a reason nobody lined up to hire him.

Boy, you sure are being hard on this old boy. For the record I'm not against an occasional fight. I'm against what the league became in recent times when Tie and Ray came out for staged entertainment. Teams kept guys in the league for just that. I like the physical side of the game as well but I honestly think some fans came to see fights like some race fans wanting a crash. While Housley was not a physical type defenseman last I knew he was a Hall member. Guys like Schoenfeld were good hockey players as was Orr and many others I could name and were tough as well.

No I'm not saying don't be physical but fighting became a staged event and used up roster spots.

I want more checking and hockey. Thankfully the days of Ray,Peters and the like are behind us. If fans want to see fights that's another sport.

I'm concerned about the Pegulas administration style. Just to much upheaval starting with Ted Black a month or so Pat Lafontaine on and on. Kim appears to be quick triggered.

Is that why you're a fan on here? Okay they lost. The world hasn't come to an end. So much overreacting going on.

Good I expected Toronto.

That gives you an idea of what Skinner will get.

I'm happy that we made one good move and no bad ones.

Don't trade Risto period.

Trade deadline day has become trade weekend. More trades going down earlier in recent years.

First round picks are very valuable if it's high. A defenseman 24 years old playing in the NHL is probably not bad for where the pick is. That's why Guhle was part of deal.

I hope you're wrong.
