Gatorman0519 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Imagine if we keep ROR, traded for a 3rd line center last summer? So far JBots has fielded 2 stinkers. Pressure will be on next year. Quote

Since my birth I've been a Sabres fan, I don't have time to wait for draft picks to develop. I have been a fan since 1970. I think I will ever see a Cup squad in Buffalo. Sabres need a veteran NHL front office type who has helped build teams that have competed for the Cup to be a voice behind the scenes. Botterill is a nice guy but he has not won me over. 3 Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 I'm convinced this team can't run what Housley wants, but Housley won't adapt to the players he has. 1 Quote

I need to see Nylander, Olofosson, Borgen, Daugherty, etc.. Waive Sobotka. Put KO on IR. Do something. At least giving the kids some PT will send a message to the vets and maybe the kids will give this sad bunch some inspiration. I love PH, but are these guys even trying. Taylor has them playing in Rochester for the second year straight maybe he can help. If PH returns Hajt for sure and some others in his staff need to go. I say leave them in Roch so they can keep playing winning hockey. Why bring them up now to play loser hockey. Sabres are toast, let these sad sacks finish out the season.

Everyone else.......................................... Bogo was decent, Dahlin tried hard and had a tough night. Larry and McCabe had some nominal effort Players that flailed about but did not make plays: Scandy, Girgs, KO, Sheary, Skinner Then the names I did not hear tonight: Tage, Pommer, Sobotka, Reinhart Let’s not forget Risto. He finished with his second straight -3 performance and he did it in 5 less minutes than last night. Edited February 27, 2019 by Pimlach Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Im not sure if the type of team they are trying to build is going to work nor fits this city. Quote
Jacque Richard Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 It’s like the bills, change everything and get the same results. More optimistic about the bills now. Quote

And for absolutely 0 reason. I disagree. Moving from the AHL to the NHL is a huge jump. The guys are all faster and more skilled. The players and management need to find out if they can compete.

Start a thread and let’s go over Jbots decisions player by player, move by move. I think the only truly debatable move is trading ROR. I don’t think it’s the plan. Somehow moves that look right just aren’t translating to wins right now. Quote
