just to help keep things in perspective. and we have a multi-billion dollar owner who wants to win who has the guy who helped "fix" the lottery for the penguins to get crosby.
Maybe this is all working out exactly the way we want.

We need to finish NO lower than 6th overall so we have a chance to get in at least the #2 overall pick.
They didn't want Pittsburgh to move plus Bettman was massaging Lemieux's balls while working the shaft.Originally Posted by Crapface2000
Pegula wasn't even with the Penguins when the Penguins won Crosby, Ted Black was.
http://sabres.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=67959Ted was a member of Mario Lemieux’s senior management team and served as Vice President of the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1999 to 2008. Ted was a member of the core group of executives that helped Lemieux execute one of the most successful franchise transformations in the history of professional sports. Ted was intimately involved in all senior executive-level decisions and strategic planning concerning the marketing, branding, sales and overall business operations and management of the team. In addition to being a key strategist during the Penguins’ efforts to get a new arena, Ted served as the day-to-day project leader for the new arena during the pre-construction phase of the project.
it was a poorly written sentence, but that was what i was trying to imply. that pegula has black who was part of the penguins. and yes, prior to sidney, there was no new stadium on its way, the team perpetually sucked for the 5 years prior and lemieux was probably whining that he didn't know what he got himself into when he purchased his share of the team.
the nhl doesn't need edmonton, calgary, toronto, vancouver, chicago, ottawa, nyr or buffalo to sell tickets. they don't have to give them anything to get fans in the door.so they don't.
but my hope is that maybe they look at deep pockets pegula and watch him say, "i didn't pay $200mm to get the same old ****. help me win and watch me throw money around to help the NHL."

1. he meant Ted Black
2. Pegula was never with the Penguins
3. Thanks for the hockey lesson AGAIN. I don't know what i would do without you.
so your saying one 2 overall pick will fix this team..
'scuse me while i ROTF-FLMAO,
i cant breathe...
a 2nd overall pick will sure do a lot better than the 7th, 8th or 9th.
Need a stud center. Forget his name but their is a great one that will go number 2.
Yep, you are right but here is what will happen. Sabres will finish 2nd to last but some team in the 3rd to 6th spot will win the lottery and move up to 1st or 2nd and move to the 3rd spot and the Sabres will miss out on a franchise player.
we said a top 5 pick would fix problems... and look at us..
we need a top center,
we need a leadership core (someone like Drury in comparison).
we need to dump all the half ass play for contract dupes.

who said a top 5 pick would make things better instanteously?
but it's a start. without a top pick, it's the same old team and they won't add anyone.

We'll win a Stanley Cup in 3 to 4 years because of this season.
For a brief second yesterday we were the third ball.
That is funny because the Sabres have no balls.
then again, if you remove Vanek completely from the line up....
where would we be?
Probably still with Briere at center.
And with several talented players that were first round picks.
