In hindsight. Are you really thinking that waiting till now to get a goalie to replace UPL was a better idea? You don't expect your projected #1 to tell you he has an owwie 5 minutes before camp starts. Signing an experienced keeper like Georgiev was the move that made sense at the time.
I rarely watched Hockey Night in Canada so I'm not aware of Cherry's antics.
But @msw2112 is correct. If your job is to report on a team, and you can't learn to say a player's name correctly after two years, that is not a good look.
I don't believe Terry is pinching pennies. He has a larger coaching and front office staffs than most teams. You point at $5MM in unspent cap as some kind of proof while he's paying for 2 GMs (Kev & Jarmo) and a half dozen assistants. If he was that cheap why does he do that?
Did you know Jan and her $60K salary costs Terry over $90K when you add in unemployment taxes, benefits and employer contributions? If you've never hired people you wouldn't know that. I don't know how many people work for the Sabres and what expenses beyond salaries there are. But I can be 100% sure that the player salaries are not the teams only expense.
