No GM/coach/scout is perfect. You'll never find a regime that never whiffed on a player. Who are these misses? Elam, maybe? For every miss they hit on 4 or 5.

The people who questioned how we were going to replace his goal scoring on the Sabres.

Got us a new roof and a scoreboard.

Everyone is pretty good at coming up with their own fantasies. You don't need mine.

Give me a break! Josh Allen didn't wander in off the street. Brandon Beane had to "Draft Day" his way to the #7 pick to get Allen, when everyone and their mother said Josh was a stiff and we should take Josh Rosen. And the popular opinion going into this season was the Bills were "in transition" and might not even make the playoffs. Look where we are now. To downplay what Beane and McDermott have done with the Bills is laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.

That depends. Do you want me to base that opinion on what I know or what I can imagine?

I'm sure Terry was informed but I think it was Adams. And most of the "black eye" was generated by Eichel's management, pumping out info to friendly media to pressure the Sabres. It's not the popular take but the Sabres were 100% right not to cave to Eichel.. He already said he wanted out. Then he expected the Sabres to assume all the risk of his surgery? Another unpopular take: Adams did a great job with the Eichel trade while the hockey world second-guessed him every step of the way. The pressure to "just move on" and "get whatever" for Eichel was intense. (That was certainly the belief of 90% of posters here.) But he held his cards until a team paid proper value. Adams has been through the wringer and still manages to maintain his poise. And he doesn't get any credit for his player decisions. Waiting for UPL to click, picking Benson when everyone said Rossi, trading up for JJ Peterka, signing Zucker, trading for McLeod, etc. If the Sabres are that unbearable, I challenge anyone who feels that way to shut the team off. Don't watch, don't go to games, don't follow them because you already know that will disappoint you, right?

The finding-a-hockey-version-of-Rex-Ryan strategy.

This. Buffalo was never the easiest place to get players to sign and the drought doesn't help. So Adams is trying to build through the draft, which takes longer. I like most of Adam's picks. Granato got the team moving in the right direction. Now I'm hoping Ruff completes the job. I see progress but they have to be consistent. Injuries keep setting us back.

You're take on what Terry is doing.

Cool story, bro.

How many of you will subscribe just to dump on Terry?

I'm not predicting the Bills would leave. Just saying the $850MM poison pill in the lease is not as big a deterrent as it seems. The Bills are currently valued at $5.35B. The 16th team in value is Atlanta at $6.1B. Add in $850MM to $5.35B and you have $6.2B. So even adding the penalty the Bills end up costing what an average NFL team is worth.

Not yet, infidel.

I got my Sabres season ticket member gift today. A nice felt banner from Oxford Pennants, and some other stuff.

This is all you need to succeed. You have to want it. I read a book once called The Secret.

okay.

I get we are all upset they lost. But they showed a pulse against the Blues, did they not?

https://bsky.app/profile/matthewfairburn.bsky.social/post/3layitwiqss2e This is a test to see if one can embed Bluesky posts here. Apparently it doesn't work. I wonder if @SDS could look into it?

Lazy is my middle name. I guess you can see the highlights of the big win on Bluesky.

"Winner winner, chicken Parm dinner!"

On that post game interview, Dahlin doesn't speak Bucci. 🤪

Maybe they should review that GI call. 😂

That is a terrible call. Binnington was not prevented from stopping Cozens shot.
