Totally agree.... this perpetual build is getting fan weary. Not chasing our need now when we are this close is a huge disappointment

The GM's job is to always looking to make the team better. We are on the cusp to making the playoffs, and the GM is too worried about sticking to his plan then trying to make the team better. I will admit , the deadline has NOT come and gone and he still has a chance to do do that, but IMHO if he does not he is no better then Krueger. No vision to see outside his own plan to make the team better. Include/Exclude whatever trades that happened already, there was obvious upgrades at good prices that could have been had! I will hold out hope we improve, but if we do not KA is showing a not so great trait as a GM. The inability to see outside of his own box to do what he has to do.

Well, i know deadline is not up yet, but i would be surprised if we get better for the push. I think KA is going to steadfast to sticking to his plan. Problem with his plan if that our kids are not going to fix our biggest problems. He is eventually going to have to pull someone in to fix them. He needs to stop shopping at Pic N Save (Is that place still around??) And trade for higher quality. Especially in the defensive dman department! I do not mind not getting Timo of the dman from ARZ, but a lot of very useful players have been traded already at decent prices. KA cannot let his plan stop him from making the team better now. We have more capital then we can actually use. Use them and make this damn team better to get in the playoffs!!!!

Love this move

Well we just got screwed.... not only we do not get, someone trying to pass us gets him. If KA does nothing, hell will break loose

The game last night, wait, I thought you said wreck

I have a feeling it is going to be dead until Friday.... all the real contenders locked their players up early as they are playing for now.

Does this mean Tuch is Month to month?

That does not bode well for our next 2 games...... 2 more embarrassments coming up

Dahlin would not have helped.... any forechecking team shuts us down. Dahlin included. Would he have helped offensively? Absolutely. We have sucked against heavy forechecking teams for years if not the last decade. This team is no different. They just cannot seem to figure it out. Instead of skating harder and faster they get it in their head and slow down and allow themselves to get bogged down. But either way, we can agree to disagree. I would have loved Dahlin back though

I would not touch any dmen from Philthy! There is a reason they suck

Either way (including all the dmen posts) we need 2 defensive defenseman that can clear the crease and be responsible. If stillman can do that, awesome, we still need another. Even if we had Dahlin, he would not have helped much all the open Cbus players right in front of the goalie!!! The bottom 2 dman right now are terrible defensively! They need to go.

Have you ever seen such a stacked conference before with this many powerhouses? Boston - Best team in NHL Carolina - A very very close second and actually more scary then Boston. Rags - Maybe the best 4 lines in hockey right now with one of the best dmen and goalies to boot Toronto - ok, a first round hot mess, no goalie, but the trades helped them where they neeeded. The ass kicking by them was not a fluke. New Jersey - The best surprise of the year IMHO. insane speed and skill. and they got better getting Timo! A lot of those teams gave up a ton to get better, but they got a ton better!! I love our team but i just do not see them as a monster in the east, even with our great pipeline of kids waiting to come up. Not saying that we 100% cannot, but we have a major mountain to climb to get to consistent playoffs.

I get what you are saying, but that should be more embarrassing for them. They got rocked by a larger forechecking team because they did not show up. Not because they were better.

The reason they will not make the playoffs this year will be because of a few reasons: - Young group. They have zero on the consistency side. They are learning and growing, eventually that will come. - KA missed a chance to fix glaring needs. Whether we are ahead of the plan or not, his plan should be to always fix what is needed. A defensive dman with size, a power forward that will crash the net and not be afraid of a forecheck and a GOOD minder. - Injuries. We took some big injuries to key players. Not like we lost Jost, Claugue etc. We lost our top 4 Dmen at one point and now when we need them most we lost one of our top forwards and also our best dman. This group can still get in this year, it is in their own hands. We are playing a rough schedule. If they win 3 of 4 consistently they are in. Losing to team below them does not help. If KA does not bring help in Friday, they are also done. This group just cannot hang the rest of the season with the big dogs (Which are all in the damn east) But we shall see what they can do. They beat boston already, Tampa, etc.....

This is garbage play. No energy... they are done and so am i.... until next game

Heavy forecheck ....our Achilles heel. Killing Sabre teams for the last 10 years.

Also outskated.... badly

We are choking. Making a crap goalie Hasek, and they are 15+ points better.... ugh

San Jose Nicer than Anaheim

Ok, not sure if already mentioned..... Locke & Key - great job and great adaptation of the books. Umbrella Academy - 4th season will be its last. For you Disney/Star wars... Bad Batch. Love it!

Play your ***** off and win the crowd back! They are dying to support this team, they just need some consistency to bring them back and keep them in the seats!! Lets go Buffalo!!!

I honestly do not think KA is going to bring in anyone other then fringe depth, and we are going to go with what we have. Not that they do not have the ability to play with the best as they have shown, but their youth has shown we can suck with the worst. Here is to hoping we get someone!!

I honestly cannot even lie that i know enough about either player to gauge. From what i have seen the analytics for Stillman are not horrible. You need to add at least some bump with the way the kids improve under our coaching. Jost came in as a waiver claim and seems to fit well as a 3rd/4th liner. I will have to give the benefit of the doubt to the Sabres as they are paying people who know a ton more about hockey players (Even obscure ones) then i do.

Wow..... that did not take them long....LOL Dont you have to get them in the building to raise the prices?
