I'm on record, unless Jack asks out, and the core needs a shake up(which it does), I put Reinhart and Risto on the block instead of Jack.
-
Pegula going to Rochester for a game with the GM? He really has too much free time on his hands...and gives further credence that there is some level of meddling going on.
-
If there are comparable grades among the top 5, I'd much rather go with a center or wing.

Should all Canadian media talking heads go to hell?
LabattBlue replied to Stoner's topic in The Aud Club
I never cared for Jeff Marek who comes across as a I'm smarter than you "hockey know it all". I wouldn't send him to hell, but I would like to see him go over Niagara Falls in a kayak. -
Jack Eichel prefers Surgery on neck injury; done for the season.
LabattBlue replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Typical Sabres...does he need surgery or not? -
Especially the big money deals. A good GM should be able to plug some holes with low end F/A's with low cost/term committments.
-
Then I guess he is a "bad person". Bottom line....just glad he is gone. Is definitely in the running for worst Sabres HC in their 50 year history.
-
I have no problem with Bryson going forward...as long as the 3 offensive minded dmen(Dahlin, Bryson and Joker) are paired with 3 defensive minded dmen(Borgen, McCabe, and ???). In this scenario Risto goes bye bye, and so does Miller(unless he becomes a 7th defenseman for his last contract year). ...and hopefully they can do this, pairing a lefty and a righty so no one has to play their off side....unless the blueliner in question is very comfortable playing the off side. No more trying to fit a square peg into a round hole BS.
-
IMO who would agree to a 1 year deal to be an NHL HC? Just my guess but it would be a 3 year commitment minimum.

LabattBlue replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Me either. -
I am a believer that the core has to be shook up in the off-season, and assuming Jack doesn't ask to be traded, and makes a full recovery, that Risto and Reinhart are traded in separate deals in the off-season.
-
Once again, if all those players ended up in the lineup, Ray would have an aneurysm. š
-
While I refer to him as a con man(which may have helped him in terms of getting hired for the job), I wouldn't call him a "bad person". Just ended up being a really bad hockey coach of the Sabres. Yeah...but has he ever pocketed a handful of sugar packets?

25th Anniversary of the last Sabres game at 'The Aud': April 14, 1996
LabattBlue replied to ExWNYer's topic in The Aud Club
Iām not sure how much it would cost to tear out the top 5 rows of the 300ās and put in standing room, but that would be awesome! -

Ive had it for awhile...and then it gets buried and I forget about it. š -

Reminds me of this book i have to read over the summer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085K6R2TR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_EY14Y6KRGYQB0846DV9Z -
Joker Dahlin Bryson Miller Borgen Samuelsson Fitzgerald Laaksonen Johnson Handful of European blueline prospects
-
I would like to keep Borgen, but letās see how the offseason plays out leading up to the expansion draft. One thing...before you say a player like Borgen is āvery replaceableā, just keep in mind that on this years blueline we have Irwin, Davidson and Miller.
-
Does Fitzgerald have a future as a 5-6-7 blueliner at the NHL level? I see he will turn 25 during the 21-22 season Is this a temporary move due to injuries? Seems like an odd thing to do to an 18 year old in his first pro season.

I hope Jack can get back to 100% and continue his upward career progression come the fall. -
Official Jason Karmanos Hired as Sabres Associate GM
LabattBlue replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Good news on the hiring of Karmanos, but sad that our inexperienced rookie GM had to try and find his way by himself for almost a full calendar year. -
Official Jason Karmanos Hired as Sabres Associate GM
LabattBlue replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
If this was the case, Iād think that some of the hirings would be leaked out somehow. We will find out over the next month or so. -
While RK was a huge disaster, letās see what happens now that the Sabres schedule is back to playing the cream of the crop in the division.
-
We will see what hires take place in the off-season. Iām not sure how we will determine whether the new hires are any better than the old hires except to see how future seasons play out, and if the prospect pool improves.
-
Fair enough. We will agree to disagree.
