I think you are giving too much credit to Adams having anything resembling a plan. He’s been winging it with terrible results.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it or it’s difficult but what do you propose the Sabres do with UPL? NHL contracts are guaranteed. So they’d have to find a trade partner or pay him $5 million to be Rochester’s goalie. I doubt anyone is going to trade for him and Pegula has demonstrated that he isn’t interested in paying people who aren’t with the team. Adams basically hitched his wagon the UPL, he may have to entice a team to take UPL by linking him with an actual asset to get a deal done. So do we want to give up Jiri Kulich to get UPL off the team? Just spitballing what I think would have to happen.

Is throwing yourself under the bus = credibility?

Everyone needs to know this. T-Pegs is the new OSP (we’ll have to come up with something other Golisano’s old nickname). He is pinching every penny he can. He won’t pay anyone that isn’t with the team. Sort of understandable but in today’s sports world, it’s not a realistic plan.

Are there NHL GM’s routinely throwing the team owner, their boss, under the bus?

Hey they are .500 according to people who don’t understand life and just want to look at the NHL’s point system and scream what a success the Sabres are.

Doan would be the last person I’d chose in that situation

It was

This might be a good team without Power, UPL & Quinn. Find a suitor.

My protractor was at a right angle

Now this feels like last season

Who do you hate more, us or yourself?

Love me some Doug.

Yeah it would be nice if Kevyn could find a top 9 forward like a Tkachuk or Tom Wilson that could play top 6 minutes and be a dominating, intimidating force. Those guys don’t grow on trees. Don’t get me wrong, Adams has avoided the forest (with some minor improvements in drafting recently) and the Peterka trade. Maybe Doan is that guy. Could use another 3-4 of him on the team. Tuch could be that guy but doesn’t get dirty enough for a man his size.
