Weave

There has to be a club for this *****, no?

Character matters more than ever, now. More than party. More than policy. More than experience. More than age. More than competence. A President that will hold to moral behavior is an absolute must now.

I remember this discussion from many years ago, back when our won/loss record actually mattered.

“Nobody wants to come here” is not a defense of the job Adams’ has done, but it is a reality that needs to be faced. Part of what makes Adams unqualified for the role is his lousy recruiting skills. We need a GM that can overcome “nobody wants to come here”. An under qualified GM that you can’t take what he says at face value, and is lacking in charisma is not the guy that should be tasked with rebuilding a team with a ***** reputation.

I can think of a number of real world instances where someone unqualified to assume a role never progresses enough to actually be qualified.

Another hole plugged. Now on to a 3C I hope.

It doesn’t matter. His replacement will be some under qualified rookie thats cheap and unprepared for the task at hand.

I am not sure negligent is the right word. But he is certainly responsible by way of his position. I am pretty well set in my belief that underqualified GMs, under qualified coaches (and now a coach with a previous connection), and around the edges players in trades and UFAs are the product of a team with a reputation so bad that noone wants to be here except those that need a place to make a name for themselves. So, not negligent, just under qualified for the enormity of the task. And he’s doing his best lying to not come out and vocalize the deep hole Pegula has dug.

KA sounded to me like he had finished what he had arrived to do. I think he’s done.

He was a 14 overall that spent a good chunk of his career as a middle 6 player. I’d say he lived up to his selection.

But, I thought he wasn’t good enough for a playoff team? Good for you, Z.

And there is your next ex to win a cup.

The question shouldn’t be “are they better than last year”. It should be “are they better relative to the teams that they will be fighting for that 6-7-8 playoff spot”.

This hurts.

Too close to call. Our bottom 6 now has depth. Our top 6 is as thin as Canadian shield topsoil. Any injuries in the top 6 and this roster is severely lacking in players well suited to step up. And we are still 1 center short.

Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart. Boston would have found a way.

OK? And they’ve been successful ever since Drury and Briere left FFS. Maybe the Sabres need to model the Bruins instead of attempting to point and laugh. This is what an organization thst refuses to accept losing looks like.

I have questions.

I don’t know how any Sabres fan can mock Boston’s methods. They continue to emphasize winning and then….. win.

We got him? We got Jacob Bryson?

And Robinson.

Maybe Dunne on the 4th line situationally? Looks right as of 12:30 anyway.

We’re at deals for the Rochester team already? It’s not even 12:30 FFS

Not ready, or not widely seen as valuable commodities?

And I am with Wookie, that this on the precipice of becoming a nearly unbrealable cycle due to the piling up of errors since the Pegula’s bought the team.
