I don’t mean to take anything away from him, but I’d love to see his offensive numbers on a different team.

Does 3 people on a message board count as a riot? Your masses have no idea who any of these guys are.

I’m more curious about how “he was right once 12 years ago” is a great sales pitch.

That was never the point in anything I said. Very simply put, if he’s truly unhappy here, he does not have to come back. He has options. If he wants to continue playing NHL hockey, well the. It’s time to suck it up, buttercup.

Negotiate with other teams. Head to Europe. Nothing's ideal, but if he really doesn't want to be somewhere, he doesn't have to.

I wouldn't say he has no leverage. His contract is up and there's nothing out there that requires him to talk with Buffalo and sign a new one.

Like Ted Nolan, Dan Bylsma, Ralph Kruger, and Lindy Ruff. It's not so much about hiring inexperience as it is about them wondering around aimlessly. Of course fans are going to be upset, but often they don't really know what they're talking about either.

You should go to the mall. You’ll have a ball.

65 is the perfect age to start something new. He might as well be fresh out of college.

Tooth for GM!

I’m not entirely sure what I’m watching here, but it’s so blatantly obvious the difference between the guys who skate through the line and the ones who pull up before they get there.

I'm really sure why you'd want all those guys hiding out in the bushes with binoculars while wives shower.

Now we need to start pitching an angle where Ruff tanked the season to get Adams out of the way.

I do also wonder what happens to Eichel long term beyond hockey. The fans don’t really care about it, but that’s another big part of finding the right procedure.

And the crazy thing is that I searched for the name Kozlov and it didn’t show up. But now it’s there. Who the hell knows how that happened.

I’m amazed that no one has mentioned Slava Kozlov yet.

Fixed that for you

No one knows that a Hagel is a Hagel until 3-4 years later.

Is he even out at this point? Being evaluated on an off day, does it even matter yet?

Well a third of that money is gone right away, at least for Ogunjobi. Jochen Hecht gets to stick around a bit longer.

It’s almost as if they felt forced to play him right away to please the fans. That would be just plain stupid because it doesn’t matter one bit right now that he plays any of the remaining games of a lost season. I wonder if they may have sat him initially if Boris Becker, or whatever his name is, had been ready to go from day one.

Which begs the question: just what the hell does an assistant or associate GM (or to the GM) do anyway?

She was on 24 for a couple seasons. I had no idea she was the view queen.

So you’re saying they’re just at the start of their extended record breaking playoff drought?
