And how exactly do you do that? NHL contracts are guaranteed. You can buy a guy out, but then the way most of their contracts are structured, you have dead money on your cap for years.

SF1980 already made the point about trades. Why would a team trade away good talent for the players we have on this roster? They wouldn't. Our guys generally do not have good trade value, and I don't want to see them give up all their draft picks to get players either.

I'm not sure why I bother arguing these points. People just like to yell and scream that Darcy should do something, because building a team that's been at the top of the conference for the past 4 months clearly is doing nothing. You could have the top 6 scoring forwards in the NHL on this team, and people would complain that they wanted more offense. Darcy could trade for Marty Brodeur and get a rule change passed that allowed Miller and Brodeur to be on the ice at the same time, and someone would complain that he's not doing enough to help the team.

He's a troll. Anyone that roots for losing for draft picks is a troll.

Well lets see! Do you think they can actually beat the Senators, Capitals , Penguins in a seven game series. Highly unlikely! I not saying that this team needs to make an instant move if we lose to Ottawa but the writing would be on the wall that they can't beat Ottawa. Darcy needs to unload some of the garbage and get pieces that will help this team in a seven game series without mortaging the future. One guy that might not be bad to get is Stempniak(from West Seneca so a local guy) off Toronto but it would have to be in a three way trade with them. This team is capable of making playoffs and that's it and if anyone thinks this team is good enough to make the cup with this current roster you will need your head examined. Difference between this years team and the last two years is that they have been winning alot more 1 goal games than in the past because of Miller. I'm not trying to start shit here but it would be nice for Darcy to earn that paycheck of his and maybe dump the trash and bring in a guy or two that can help this team!

3 out of four times the Sabres have beaten the Senators in the playoffs, The Penguins aren't the team of last year, they have huge holes on defense and won't make it very far unless MAF plays like he did two years ago and Malkin and Crosby score everygame. The Capitals are the most dangerous, but shut down OV, and play very hard D and put in some goals.

I think we could beat each and every one of those teams in a 7 game series, remember the Caps have goaltending issues if Varlamov is not back, even with him in the net he doesn't have quite the experience miller has.

Put a Ovechkin tracking device on Myers and we win that series..

every time someone confidently says "we will kick their ass" the sabres lose. even if you dont believe in jinx, you dont say something to piss off the karma/hockey gods.

thats why i cautiously say we are going to see the first tie since 2004.

:lol: Never thought of it that way. I'd second this, but I've already jumped on the death bandwagon. :shifty:

I wonder how many rounds of shootout it would take to accomplish that? After like...78 rounds of the full team having shot, including goalies, I gotta think one of the refs is just going to call a tie, or maybe take a hatchet to someone.

And while also not believing in jinxing in the least, I always cringe when I see these declarations. ESPECIALLY against the senators who we're totally owned by, and WHO WILL DESTROY US MIGHTILY TONIGHT*











(shh...i'm trying to reverse the jinx)

I think you should have worded your title a bit more carefully, or not even started the thread. There are already a few threads out there where most people admit this team needs a tweak or two. IMO(and many others), we need a RW who can set up TV(preferable with a bit of grit), and another solid defensemen in case Rivet, Montador and Lydman keep sucking.

Haven't we done this every Ottawa game?

How about next time we don't even acknowledge we're playing them until gameday. And ONLY in the GDT.

It ain't Karma. It's the Buffalo TimBits Hockey Sabres that show up for these games.
