Two things I learned tonight:

Casey Mittelstadt didn't benefit from watching a game from the stands.

It's not not Ristolainen's fault.

Really have to criticize management for the handling of Mittelstadt this season. After a few late season games, he was expected to replace ROR as our 2nd line center. He clearly wasn't ready. They should have realized that.

Will that make them play better defense, will it make the goalies stop more shots, our forwards score.... There isn't enough talent on this team.There hasn't been in years and whether you agree with the moves or not, we traded 2 of our better forwards and pretty much got nothing in return.

 

Do you really think Kane would have re-signed with the Sabres in the offseason?

I think the worst part about this entire situation is that there is 0 and I mean 0 chance this team has any hopes to sniff the playoffs next year either.

I don’t know if we could break 80 points... Ottawa will be back in the playoffs before us

Of course, he, skinner and reinhart carried this team alone for months.  You can see all 3 are Mentally and physically drained. 

 

 

It's hockey. The get paid a lot to play, they should still be scoring. 

That's not the same as blaming them for the state of the team, of course.

Knew I could come onto the board after watching this game and see everyone having an absolute mental meltdown. 

What do you expect? We’ve won 14 of the past 51 games?  We are nearing unprecedented territory.  Nobody is melting down it’s reality.

Comes to the same thing, though. Both in terms of it being a bad plan, and how it affected what we were asking for/needed from Casey.

The Sabres now hold the 5th spot in the draft rankings, pre-lottery

St. Louis has the 20th, so that pick would go to Anaheim if the season ended today. Montreal pulled in to a 3 way tie with them and Vegas, and there is 6 games left, it'll be close.

If they offered him a contract , possibly. But that wasn't my point- we got ***** for him and we needed help this season.

This can't be true.

Don’t worry these meaningless games will have zero corrallation to next season.   Work to be done but certainly not impossible

I think you're way more optimistic than me. Kane was gone.

So we either lose him for nothing, or we trade him as a rental to a playoff team.

What do you think the going rate for a rental with a history of issues is?

Didn’t they just get Montour with the 1st rounder? I prefer Montour

We have won zero Cups since entering the league. What were you expecting this season?
