Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

[Zeeker]

Forget rebuilding. Dumb idea.


I'm just wondering how anyone can want to continue doing what has been done with the same GM that has been doing it.

I know I’m just getting my hopes up, but each loss has me more excited that meaningful change may be on the horizon.

With a total rebuild, you have to hit on most of your prospects, otherwise you become Buffalo.
Many teams do this, picks don't pan out and remain in the cellar...
We need a retool of our Core, not to rip it down completely imho.

Buffalo is the only team who hasn't made the playoffs in the past decade. All other 31 teams have, including numerous rebuilding teams.

The Sabres are the exception, not the rule.

They also probably would have made the playoffs by this point if not for an oddball situation where their star forward demanded a trade.

Message to Lou: Don’t try to fix it. Let the team bottom out. Get a lottery pick. Sell and recoup young assets and draft picks.

Message to ownership: Fire Lou!

Time to write a letter to the fans.

I know many of our players have trade protection but maybe some would rather play past April this year. I could see

Varly back to Colorado
Pelech to Edmonton
Pageau back to Ottawa or Dallas or something

Time to sell off UFA's.

Excuses....
How far down do you wish to tear it down?
Want Lou to make the picks we get?
How about we agree on getting the GM. in place before we have the fire sale?
I For one do not want Lou doing that.

 

[impaaaaaact]

if they lose both of the back to back someone is getting fired. I don't know who, but someone

Better not Be Roy....
Lou must own this...

Wheels came off early this year.
Blessing in disguise?
