Treliving was at both the Carolina-Buffalo game and the Columbus-Buffalo game. Bennett has been rumored to be in the doghouse. Calgary has a decent D prospect pool. They need help on wing, specifically top 2 line LW scoring. Anything we have come to mind?

2017 battle cry

They had a couple of whiffs that coat them. They seem to have a real problem dinishing.

Each game that passes increases our odds for Dahlin.

Joe Yerdon Joe Yerdon @JoeYerdon Peeped the scout list tonight for CBJ/BUF and Flames GM Brad Treliving is again on the list here. Joining the list tonight is Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli. 5:30 PM · Nov 20, 2017 What's this make, 3 Sabres games in a row for the flames?

You asked, I gave an opinion on it. Sports teams are more like units. When I served, you took pride in what you represented. The corporate world merely attempted to emulate what has been done in unit building.

Changing the culture starts with accountability, from the players specifically. And not just towards self-accountability or your team mates, but to that logo on their jerseys. Pride, commitment, a willingness built in to achieve and doing what it takes to do so. These culminate in to confidence imo. Right now, this roster has very little of that, again, imo. The only ones who can change that are the coaching staff imo.

Thanks for the response. Yea, I have to figure its the defense rotating door. I fully believe he will be in Buffalo either by the deadline or most definitely next season.

I l8ke Ullmark Modo, but in the 5 or 6 games I've seen, 3 or 4 them he was fighting the puck it seemed. Don't get me wrong, he looked ready, but I have to ask, is there a nagging injury or 2as it something as simple as the rotating door on d men up to buffalo and the unfamiliarity of playing behind them? And P.S. ..... I think he's the starter here, either at the deadline or next season. I'll hang up and listen to what you think.

For myself I see it as an experimental situation on the passing game. Our offensive arsenal is currently handicapped, and in a serious fashion I might add, due specifically to the limiting factors of a repeatedly failed air attack. Some blame the offensive coordinator, some the poor receiving corps, others still the O line, and I'm sure there are several other excuses. But in the end, its very apparent game after game that Tyrod has accuracy issues and is unable to "manage" a game. Will the kid do better? We won't know until he's in there. But from the very limited sample size from last weekend, I'm certainly not opposed to this move.

The "drought" is irrelevant to me, and many more think like me. The object is to win it all. This QB can't even muster up enough to get us in the playoffs. That has already been proven. Time to move along imo.

Ok, I didn't feel like multi-quoting. So, regarding Tyrod..... 1. His long ball is non-existent 2. His accuracy is in the 55 to 64 range of ranking qb's 3. His "clutch" ability doesn't exist 4. He is an "out of the pocket" QB that severely under performs, out of the pocket. 5. He reads defenses poorly 6. He's nothing. Not nothing special mind you, but just.....nothing. Time to move on from this error. There shouldn't even be a debate. Just move along imo.

Regardless of what many say, both on this board and other venues, Tyrod is a horrible QB overall. While people are busy pointing out the few, and I mean very few, pros of Tyrod, they blatantly ignore the cons. And the #1 con is the absence of a passing game. Bring in the new kid I say. He can do better.

The game was entertaining, no? Yes, I'd much prefer they win, but let's be honest. They aren't there yet. Next season? Maybe. But, and I'm not pointing out you specifically, just seems an appropriate time to say it, but anyone who actually believed Murray when he said 3 year turn around, just after stripping the roster down to and including the bone, should now realize it'll take 5 to 7 years from the 13/14 season to attempt serious contention. Does it suck? Yea. Patience, hard as it is to practise a virtue, it is warranted. Cheer up though if your feeling apathy. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Hope that helps...... GO SABRES!!!!

Great game. Very entertaining. To bad they lost but at least they competed. Love the effort.

Moulson and Pommers end following next season should begin to ease the pain, if they aren't moved. But that Okposo contract.......yikes

Imo Kane won't re-sign here. I believe he's committed to going to ufa and signing with a team who is playoff bound, not one in the middle of a rebuild.

I don't buy this. At least not for Kane and Reinhart. There are teams who could use them now. I move Sam for Galchyniak and a pick/future. Gal can fill a LW position as Kane's departure will leave a hole to fill, and the Canadians would most likely take the chance on Sam as they need a center. Kane I'm looking to move for a clear #2 d man. Package him, there are a small handful of teams that have the need. I am as well, to an extent. We'll still need components that can fill some holes here now.

Yes, the personnel need a deck shuffling.Kane had 2 golden passes from jack, whiffed. Okposo in the slot, hits outside of post. We. Need. Finishers! At this time, move Kane and Reinhart. The season is done. May as well get ready for next season.

Nope, I saw it to.

Entertaining game. Counted 2 clean passes by Eichel, both to Kane in the game, that should have been in the net. This game should have never gotten to OT. We need finishing wingers, badly. But they didn't play horrible, liked the effort.

3 things I notice with this team, and these 3 things have gone on for 5 to 6 years now, across multiple management regime changes. 1. Effort. Its been the same story year after year. Playing 20 minutes out of 60, etc...etc... 2. Lack of defensive scoring. This has really come on strong in the last 3 seasons, but the defensemen on this team do not pot the puck. 3. Speed with puck possession. This team has made terrible puck moving decisions. Passing is horribly bad, breakouts are predicted by opponents night in and night out. They rarely win puck battles. These things, imo, are culture related. There is a lack of drive in the players to be better, a lack of chemistry among almost the entire roster, and that to me in any event, is culture. Until someone, anyone, coach, GM, players, makes a concerted effort to change this, we will continue to see the same team product on the ice game after game.

Well, you know, how about a 1 yr 5.5/6 mil contract? Gives the team time to clear a couple of 5+ mil contracts and settle up on the back side of a 1 year deal. Not likely, still, if Kane loves it here, would he play ball? Would it be worth it for him knowing a 5 year deal max on the back side of such a scenario?

I will admit, these last 5 games or so, I have been running scenarios through my mind on how bots can dump that Moulson contract. And while I realize its convenient to think such as a fan, I also have to bare in mind that these are people, with families. I don't know if Matt chose Buffalo because of that alone, but he has children, and the area is great for raising a family. I would want the Pegulas to honor that, if it was part of the reason. And that directly related to the potential to re-sign Kane. So many variables I guess. Would I keep Kane if a reasonable deal could be reached (a discount contract?), yea, of course. But I believe your numbers are accurate Liger. I can't see it happening unless we unload 10 mil roughly, and for a 3 or 4 year term only. Imo.
