No, don't trade up. Yes, we need a replacement for Stefon immediately.

The Sabres can still get in the playoffs THIS YEAR TOO!

There is no way in HELL, at least in the short term, we are better off as a football team WITHOUT Stefon Diggs. Don't be foolish.

I have been pointing out for a while around here that Diggs doesn't want to be in Buffalo. It's probably more likely to involve moving way up to draft a DT.

AMEN BROTHER! AMEN!

You sound like the sort of Sabres fan who actually thought trading Eichel and Reinhart was a good idea, or that they were somehow part of any problem with the team. A pox on your family for a thousand generations!

Diggs wasn't a problem; your coach is.

The OP needs to investigate this thing called "geometry" and re-examine his thesis.

Nice little slice of Hockey Hell tonight! Building was completed overrun by EASILY 15,000 Leafs fans... SELL THE TEAM PEGULA. YOU SUCK.

I still want a mind blowing WR....find one!

I just noticed that the Leafs game tonight is not on TV...it's one of those ESPN+ only streaming things, which are starting to really piss me off. The Leafs games in Buffalo are, by far, the highlight of the Sabres season and to make those pay to watch really pisses me off. Here's another reason to hate Pegula. Don't worry, I'll be watching online for free, but that approach is not the best.

Ah, the rationalization power of a Bills fan knows no bounds. It's a product of over a half century of failure. In other franchises, McDermott doesn't survive the 13 seconds. Here, he's apparently hired for life.

You're right! Bills fans are impatient children! We have only waited 54 years since the merger for a single championship, without getting one. Do these people not know it takes TIME to succeed in sports? Look at the Red Sox! And the Cubs!

I think about that moment in time all the time, simply because it is no longer true. And it's been that way for several years now. Granato should have been fired in January at the latest. He wasn't. He should be fired, FOR SURE, at the end of the season in a few days. He won't be. Why? B/C winning a Cup is not Pegula's end goal now. It is to make the team profitable and he is more committed to how he runs the team, i.e., no more eating of Ks, than winning. Don't listen to what these guys tell you, watch what they DO, or chose not to do. When Donny survives this off-season, you will KNOW FOR SURE it's not about winning. It's also why we let Mike Peca slip out of the organization. Too strong, successful, and popular a guy for the operation they are trying to run.

When the NFL says "pay money for channel x or you can't watch this game" I respond by NOT watching game and pursuing any one of my 1 million other interests in life. It's important that most NFL fans respond in kind, so the message is sent that this won't work.

Just heard tonight's attendance was announced as 14,000 and change. No way in HELL it was anything close to that number. It looked more like an 8,000 person crowd all night on TV. The bulk of entire sections down by the glass empty.

Not if, but WHEN we bow out of the playoffs yet again next year, the window for Pegula to ditch McDimwit might start to open. I don't think his firing is a sure thing however. As long as he's here managing games from the sidelines, and favoring D over O with a top 2 or 3 QB in the league, don't expect much to change in terms of the big picture.

There is no such thing as urban planning in NOVA; it's a hell hole.

Don't expect Granato to be fired. Terry is done paying people not to work for him; I think that directive went out to the organization about 4 or 5 years ago. We are not functioning as a legitimate, competitive, NHL franchise. That's how you go 13 years without playoffs.

MOST? They ALL are. Only a billionaire NFL owner would have the unmitigated gall to demand someone else pay for his team's playground. They should go and the fans in KC should figure out some other ways to fill their free time. F the NFL.

I think this is a very common attitude, but I'm not like that. The Sabres are not even operating as a real, competitive, professionally run NHL organization. If we are going to be a perpetual irrelevancy, move the team. What's the loss? Hockey is nothing close to the game I fell in love with as a kid anyway. Much more boring product IMO. Just finished watching us quit in the 3rd period of the Oilers game. We're a long way from being a solid hockey team. I think Granato has to go at this point, but he will NOT go. If he's around next year, you'll know it's still business as usual in Sabre land.

We have a very soft team and too many players with exactly the same makeup. Need greater diversity on the roster and more grit. A rock solid starting goalie would help a lot too, though 6k has been pretty solid this year. When we miss the playoffs again, I do believe Granato should go; and I have always liked him too.

Dude kind of looks like a serial killer. Anyway, the Sabres can't be worse managed than they are, so there's that.

I will be pulling for Iron Mike to drop this guy in the first round, just like the old days. As a burned out old man, Mike still has hand speed this kid can't fathom.
