All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Let's play a game. Name a Sabre that is your eyes, Free Agent or Draft Pick, Past or Present that was a HUGH bust. Top Draft Pick? Free Agent? Traded for Player? I can't think of many Free Agents because the Sabres never sign a top notch free agent.

A wasted pick for sure. A gamble that did not pay off.
But too me, a bust is a guy who just never panned out. Dudacek was a communist country player drafted before the iron curtain fell. It was a longshot to get him over here in the first place. The Sabres were not deterred, and drafted Alex Mogilney- he worked out.....
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
What about that defenseman Wilson...the one we traded away to get Rhett Warrener AND a draft pick? Talk about a one-sided trade. The guy was a waste and the draft pick alone would have made it a good trade...the fact that Warrener was such a solid player for us made it a highway robbery on our part.

Let me start.

John Tucker was a solid role guy. I don't remember anything being expected from him.

I never know what youre talking about dude...
As for my busts.....
Morris Titanic, Paul Cyr, Joel Savage, Norm Lacombe, Adam Creighton, Mikael Andersson, Shawn Anderson, Greg Brown, Wayne Primeau, Barrett Heisten, David Cooper....etc.
Just about every draft from Bowman and Meehan were duds. I can't believe we had drafts in 82 and 83 with 3 first round picks each and three of the guys above were in those drafts. It looks like Darcy is assembling his set of duds.. But, its too early to tell.
So far with Darcy: Artem Kruikov, Andrew Peters (WE WASTED A SECOND ROUND PICK ON THIS DOPE), and Norm Milley. I guess you can toss Brian Campbell in there too. We paid him the big bucks based on his Memorial Cup run in 99. I also heard Novotny is pulling splinters out of his ass in Roch. So happy we stocked the minors with such talent.
