Misery loves company, come join the party....

For the 2nd rdr of course. It feeds Adams draft is our playoffs fetish

You just had to.jinx it, didn't ya......could of said I don't want a trade for an impact roster player? Why don't you kick my dog while your at it 🤣

Dahlins son?

Zzzzzzzzz..........huh, what I miss?

I expected more.... Do better 😜

Jeff Skinner has been a true trooper for the Sabres. Let me make this abundantly clear, no one should be spitting venom at Jeff. He's earned the right to control the situation, and if you aren't on board with that, well, I feel sad for you. Jeff, regardless of the outcome, from this 50+ yr Sabres fan, thank you. And I mean that with all that I am. Thank you. Good luck going forward, may your your life's journey be fulfilled.

My views are expressed above shrader. I firmly believe with his addition, the tide has turned.

I get it. Your not accepting yet to the reality of the situation. And that by no means, in any way is a slap towards you personally or your view. But the reality is, at least in an overwhelming number of Sabres faithful I speak with nearly daily, is that Ruffs years of experience is more than just window dressing, it is listened to. I believe that not out of some life long love/lust of era gone by, but out of what's being reported combined with what we factually know his career to be. Take it as you will, but as an older fan admittedly, one that watched the truly greats skate in Sabres jerseys, from the 70's on up, I not only believe this to be the case, I know it. It's time to come in from the rain, and Ruff is that umbrella to make it happen, again in my humbled opinion.

Me to. I don't doubt they are taking multiple inputs. I'm not thinking that at all, I'm thinking.....good, an additional well experienced voice in the room. Is that so much to believe?

If you think Ruff hasn't been a voice in what is needed, I don't know what to say. Especially given Adams falling just short of getting over the hump of playoff appearance. Sure Adams is by title the GM, but Ruffs career experience speaks for itself, of course they're going to more than listen to his input. He is the mentor in the room, if you doubt that, your only denying the reality of the Sabres current circumstances imho.

I see things coming, good, bad, will be played out this coming season. But one thing is certain, Ruff is making moves. So happy he's back at the helm.

What a name, Dakota Johnson. Sounds like an out of control appendage.

But......

SDS, I was only kidding about Lindy building trade capital. Your scaring me, 🤣

Fantastic move by the Sabres. Lindy picking up draft capital to spend on immediate roster needs.

Contrary to popular belief, as the Sabres organization has proven, there is not always hope. Don't do this to yourself, don't dare to dream our Sabres would actually make some moves to give us fans hope. No pain.....No gain? 🤣

I am. And yes, it's concerning. I'm not totally familiar with Carolinas cap/roster/pipeline situation, but I agree LG. If they are choosing him to move on from, I'd like to know the full back story as to why. He isn't due a contract for another what?, 2 yrs?

Only 1 question needs to be answered.....does he go to the net? I'll hang up and listen to answers on this.

When did/does the buy out period begin?

Could be, never met the beat reporter, so......it's possible? 😉

Courtesy flush for Skinner?

LG posted the actual tweet from Dom in the Skinner thread. Not sure what the plan is, nothing was mentioned outside of Skinner buyout.

Ya, looks like the movement will start this week.
