This sums up this organization's actions (err, inactions) in a nutshell. Great article.

Re: Great article by Bucky
the bubbling of the sabres organization is only matched by the bills for the most part. how they tried to have a QandA 30 minutes after free agency starts is beyond me.
I get the sense that ruff is just broken from building up good teams to watch them get dismantled prematurely.
Reiger isn't relaly to blame. he has a set of orders that keeps them from getting anywhere. They don't seem to be commited to anyone on defense for more than 2 years....they took roy and vanek to be on the same line long term, but then haven't found anyone they wanted to compliment them.
its a sad day when you can say this, but if the sabres could follow the bills lead and get a TO like player who will make a good evans much better merely by being out there, then they should do that. it's a joke the way they run this team.
They are halfassing it out there more nights and try to lie to us that they get stage fright when in buffalo, and they are still in the hunt for the playoffs in Feb/March....but they've got a bunch of slackers who don't listen to their coach. So either you need players to get them out of that mindframe, or they need a new coach. Which one is it? Front Office won't address it.

If you can't make your team better and actually make it worse by making bad moves or not making any, then it is YOUR fault! And don't give me the "he is being told how much money he can spend" garbage. You don't keep a job if you are being told to make the wrong moves. It is his job to tell his bosses who he needs and how much it will cost. Who signed Hecht, Connolly, Lydman to contract extensions?

Re: Great article by Bucky
what other options does he have really? his only option to be successful is to draft well and then keep them. but the team's money management does want anything to do with a high end contract. connelly, if he played to his potential, would have been gone. they were happy selling us this crap that he might have something in him left. they'd have never signed him worrying that his year 5 end of the contract is a bad deal.
all i know is sabres hockey has been a bad deal for me the last 2 years. when are they going to worry about my freaking 30 year contract with the team and my desire to see a championship team out there?

Re: Great article by Bucky
nighthawk, that's exactly right. if the ownership/FO, can get away with lollying gagging and giving up on seasons, what message does that send the players? Probably, don't skate so hard, we don't really care one way or the other if we win. You win games here, you get a big contract somewhere else. You lose all your games here, we'll try to keep you on the payroll at an inflated cost.
No wonder these teams fold when the going gets tough. they witness is from the top.

Re: Great article by Bucky
I'm not saying Bucky is wrong but he probably had that article written last year and can rerun each year...just insert the name of the cheap free agent for each year.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
