The Sins Of The Buffalo Sabres In The Last 15 Years, List Them...(One Per Post Please)

[LalalaFontaine]

Not let Eichel get his surgery

 

[LalalaFontaine]

Trade Eichel

 

[LalalaFontaine]

Not signing Reinhardt

 

[LalalaFontaine]

Hiring the wrong coaches

 

[LalalaFontaine]

Hiring inexperienced GMs with no clue to build a team

 

[LalalaFontaine]

Not bringing in experienced veterans to help our kids

 

[LalalaFontaine]

There are many many more, but I need to add the trade of Marcus Foligno.

 

[Moncton man]

Not getting Ace a top four Dman and a top six winger/centre

 

[Moncton man]

A big one for me, not getting back to the playoffs for RJ's fabulous calls

 

[Chainshot]

Not firing immediately reviewing the hockey department when they first bought the team, allowing Regier to linger for another couple of seasons.

 

[Chainshot]

Video scouting started more than 15 years ago but is very much part of the feast of the last 15 years of crap.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Ehrhoff

Ehrhoff

Disagree - the cap buyout change sank that deal, but frontloading for a good top 4 defenseman was a smart move that other teams used. Chicago was the poster child for those but it wasn't until Buffalo did the same that the rest of the owners decided it was the wrong and should be punished.

 

[Chainshot]

Giving in to the owner's will and trading McNabb over his breakup with one of the owner's daughters.

 

[Chainshot]

Rushing Grigorenko.

 

[Chainshot]

Rushing Girgensons.

 

[Chainshot]

Rushing Zadorov. Oh hey, three in a Regier row.

 

[JLewyB]

Effective, Efficient, and Economic

So it was a sin in the end ?
This thread was supposed to be "fun" lol

 

[BFLO]

Kevyn and Terry low-balling Ullmark and Reinhart in the summer of 2020. Leading to a 2021 where they lost Ullmark for literally nothing, and were forced to trade Reinhart.

The league changed the rules mid-game as it were.

 

[oldgoalie]

Terry.

 

[DapperCam]

Playing Ristolainen as a #1 defenseman for years, when he never showed he was capable of that.

 

[DapperCam]

Tim Murray being a public embarrassment. Two examples:
- One word at the draft podium with a high draft pick.
- “won’t get his pee pee slapped by me”
