    Re: Sabres news and notes

    I don't know what's wrong with the last (the current one) page in this thread. Anyway. Quinn no longer practicing in a non-contact jersey.

        Re: Sabres news and notes

        How does a team with this many high 1st round draft picks play so poorly?
        Most of the team was drafted in the 1st round.

        You'd think that type of talent would be cruising.
        When does the Sabres Admin realize that after 16 yrs of top draft choices, the problem is COACHING and get someone in here that can build a winner?

            A short look back at the Reinhart trade. Obviously Sam has flourished in Florida, but the reality is Sam was a good, not great player when they traded him.

            They ended up getting a top flight goalie prospect for him, and a winger who likely will end up being a goal scoring difference maker once he develops.

            Really, both teams won because Sam likely wasn't coming back due to losing and being yanked around in short term contracts

              No. The Sabres got fleeced.

                No, they didn't. That was the best offer for him, or they risk losing him for nothing.

                  They obviously should have kept him. He was vocal for 2+ years in saying he wanted to stay. At the time he wasn't looking for much money. Konecny asking for $10 million now. LOL! Same was looking for around $4 as I recall. Had Adams had done one of these 8 year deals we'd be in a sweet spot.

                    That ship sailed. I'm happy with the return. He did his time, he wanted out. I don't blame him one bit

                      You're wrong. He didn't want out. He wanted to get paid. The Sabres refused to do that.

                        On Saturday, general manager Kevyn Adams continued the Sabres’ overhaul, trading center Sam Reinhart to the Florida Panthers.


                        Yeah, he wasn't coming back

                          Sounds like Mike Leone is the new Amerks coach

                            Yeah. You should read your own link. LOL. HE had tried to get a long term contract out of the Sabres for 2 or 3 years, but they refused. Really. Read your own article. It proves me correct.

                              And by the time the trade rolled around, he was done and the sabres were entering a rebuild. He wanted out at that point
