I just read 6 reviews on Wahlstrom and it seems that he is offensively gifted - something that we desperately need. There is no mention of him as a two way player in those reviews. The link posted above mentions that he has to work out defensive kinks. I'm still in the Tkachuk camp as he could be an immediate contributor in replacing ROR production while Wahlstrom works on his D at Boston College. In addition BT brings toughness and attitude which we also need.

Yea, good points. who would we have to add to make Ott or Det interested? Hmmm, interesting.

I I can't disagree. I like ROR because --- well there is a lot to like. In order to get value you have to give value. That's just the way it works. Prospects are a big part of any rebuild. Look at the Blueberry Muffins. They had a lot of prospects and now have two playoffs appearances with them. I'm still interested in hearing from our esteemed board if ROR can bring a return of a 4 - 8 draft pick.

Do you think that ROR could bring a round 1 draft pick in the 4-8 range? I'm impressed with the talent of Brady Tkachuk. He had a great WJC, spoke well at the combine and analysts have given him glowing reviews. Button @ TSN "makes teams and those he plays with better" - which is a heck of an endorsement. Would it take more that ROR to get the pick? Who? And besides we need a "chuk" on our team --- the more the better.

Pollock wrote an article on how he couldn't criticize the Bills-Sabres owners. Then he proceeds to criticize through the thoughts of other writers. Come on man. Thanks for the warning Promo. Good on you for calling out Skurski.

So true. We don't need 5 talking heads on NFL pregame shows either.

Hi Everyone - I'm new to the board - first post. I have enjoyed reading threads over time and was soooo excited and amused during the Vesey sweepstakes thread. There's a diversity of opinion here which is great. I'm happy that WildCard started this discussion. Buffalo sports media coverage has been wearing on me for a long time but IMO really crossed the line with the attack on Whaley during his year end PC. Some may agree with their antagonistic questioning but I believe that they were mean spirited. Media coverage is continually treading out-of-bounds. False statements are attributed to Eichel, Pegula and many others. They hide behind "sources" and seem self-justified in stirring the pot. Certainly no accountability for them - except those of us who refuse to give them clicks. I can't respect that type of reporting and believe that the MEDIA is being diminished ---- though their own classless reporting. One thing on Murph. I sometimes think back on the Bills Super Bowl run. He was great back then. We were all so excited to hear anything on the Bills and he was a voice that fueled fandemonium during a fantastic run. When wins are more scarce his optimism has a different effect. Lastly, I more enjoy the reporting of Chuck Pollock and their hockey guy (can't think of his name). Although they seem to be running John Wawrow lately. Looking forward to interacting with y'all.
