IDK - they’re not saying anything that isn’t already plainly obvious to Tuch and his agent IMHO.

Can he also play as a RHD? 🙃

Who else in the organization would take over as Director of Player Development (assuming he is permanently relieved of his duties)?

IMHO - the team still needs a player who is a puck handler capable of gaining access to the offensive zone. We can't rely on dump and chase to reacquire possession and then setup, but rather somebody who can maintain possession getting over the blue line.

I wish they could do a secret and confidential polling of the players to get their grades of this putrid FO.

I might be in the minority, but I still consider him more of a winger than a center. I think the team really needs him to hit the 20g minimum mark to make enough of an impact, which IMHO his shot is good enough to do. That being said, I'd still like to see the team make a deal to get a 2C.

The Sabres will be moving their games to old Highmark (Rich Stadium) since the Bills won’t be using it after this upcoming season. (Kidding of course)

Purely wishful thinking, but how about Marcus Foligno’s dad Mike? He may have been considered an added player after Dale McCourt, but he was the best part of that historic trade. Maybe Doan can surprise us with his scoring and leadership???

I would not want to work in the Sabres season ticket office….how do you sell tickets with no excitement?!?! Pegula can fire his entire Marketing staff since they have nothing to do.

I know these are all player moves, but my vote for worst move was to hire GMKA.

So no Eric Staal in the room….or did I miss seeing him? I guess he wasn’t important enough to be there or that he himself didn’t want to attend?

Seems like a logical assumption….since that is how the Bills are supposedly structured (McDermott direct to Pegula).

Unless GMKA has Tuch, Dahlin or TNT telling him otherwise, I think he’s done. Getting Tuch extended could be his next priority.

Yes….looking down the road a few years, a right defense group that includes Mrtka, Bedkowski and I’ll add Kleber from last year’s draft looks solid and difficult to play against. I am not overlooking Kesselring either, who I hope will bring some snarl that we need right now.

But.....what competent GM would want to come work for Pegula? Hence, Pegula is still the problem.
