I have to ask , is there anyone else on the planet who isn't sure if the Sabres would be better right now with Jack and Samson vs Tuch and Krebs ???   I have a feeling you are on an island with this one 

That is a different question than whether or not the Tank worked. Maybe you can start LGR's new thread request. I already wasted 2+ years watched a stupid improvement plan by this team. No F'n way I'm going to rehash the merits of it a decade later and still no playoffs.

I"m done talking about this. Nighty night.

Hmmm. Earlier today, when asked that question, you said you couldn't say for sure.    
As you said , what's the point in rehashing 

we all need to move forward with a plan to remove the owner, otherwise we are just wasting our time.  
10 years of lots of different players, coaches, GMs but only one owner

I never said that, but I don't want to taint LGR's draft thread any further. PM me if you need to be right.

As I said.  We are good.  No point going on about what happened 10 years ago.   We are both frustrated by the current state of the team

Of course we sick in a year there is not a superstar in the draft. Next year we will show promise and almost make the playoffs while someone else tanks and gets a star building block. 
 

It is the way. The Sabres way.

We just might be approaching that point where a 1st o/a pick pulls an Elway, Lemieux, Lindros, Manning, and says “don’t draft me”. I don’t think a Power or Slavkovsky-level pick would have the nerve. But a Bedard-level 1st o/a might just say “for the sake of my career, I will not sign with the Sabres”.
