Episode 86: Jeff Skinner and the buyout conundrum

Free agents or trades are there to be signed or made, but who are the best candidates?

Episode 83: Don Granato's firing and what's next for the Sabres

We all knew there'd be some changes, but the Sabres firing of Don Granato and the feedback from the players in the days after illuminated what went wrong. Lance and Joe will break all of it down: - What went wrong - Why the move was made - What GM Kevyn Adams said he's looking for from the next coach - Who he should take the longest (and shortest) looks at - The case for Rochester Americans coach Seth Appert Buckle in, it's their longest episode to date, but it's more than worth the full l...

Lance and Joe are back and so are the Buffalo Sabres. The guys lead off the show discussing what's going on with the lack of extensions signed by Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power and whether or not it's actually a big deal.

Lance and Joe are back this week and they're talking about Rick Jeanneret's passing and how the best way to honor him was to bring back everyone to share their great stories about him. They'll also dig in about the executive shuffling atop Pegula ownership, dissolving PSE, and what this could all mean for the Sabres in the meantime. Ilya Lyubushkin was traded to Anaheim recently and it doesn't exactly clear things up too well on defense. But that's OK, because competition is going to be th...
