Look his MBA isn't important. The fact Pegula decided to promote him with no support and Adams proceeded to build nothing for 5yrs is. It's just an easily avoidable self own because Terry thinks he's the smartest in the room and 14yrs of being wrong hasn't changed his mind.

That's true. Any degree doesn't mean you're good at the thing you got a degree in. Lots of dumb PhDs and MBAs in the world.

The Sabres fanbase is borderline feral at this point.

The mofo is in NY and doesn't use Empire State, nope University of Phoenix. https://sunyempire.edu/graduate-studies/business-programs/mba-business-management/

Trading 2nd round picks for nhl players is smart. Now Malenstyn might have been a bit stupid but Appert was all hot to trot but a 2nd for Greenway was good work. 2nd round picks have a 20ish% chance at being a 100 game nhl player.

“Any self-respecting GM who takes that job is going to say, ‘I have to be able to run this for you,’” said one former NHL executive. “I know it’s your team and I have to talk to you about things, but I have to be able to build a team and make decisions. If I have to run a simple (Henri) Jokiharju for a fourth by you, what are we doing here?”

"After having misguided Stanley Cup hopes the previous fall, Adams embarked on Buffalo’s latest rebuild. One source described the situation in 2021 by saying, “There was no plan.”"

“Everything Bills was always more important than everything Sabres,” said one former Pegula employee who worked on the hockey side. “It’s just been helter-skelter for the Sabres ever since he bought the Bills.”

Max Psenicka, 6'4" 178lb RHD from 🇨🇿 Here's another option for Buffalo probably in round 2. I don't think the big guy will last to the 3rd round. Just watched him and I don't understand how his point total is as low, 7pts in 24 games and 8 in 18 playoff games. This kid has nerves of ice cold steel. His defensive game is surgical and he uses both his reach and physical play to end plays. His 4 way mobility is very very good and it will only improve with added strength. He's not flashy but I am just drooling over the idea of him at 205lbs and next to someone like Power. Yes he is physical but in the exact way you want, controlled. I might gamble on taking him and hope that Nestrasil slides into the 3rd round (which is possible). I really want another 2nd rounder in this draft, I think there's gonna be value there.

Vaclav Nestrasil "he started the year with eight points in his first 21 games and finished it with 34 points in his final 40 games." Scott Wheeler

Elite Prospects draft guide hits this week. It's the best one I think.

Dahlin prefers his off side. Nikita Novikov actually has more pro experience than Owen Power. Finding a veteran 3rd line rhd isn't a big concern impo but maybe Fabbro or Perbix can be slotted there.

Charlotte has the greatest prospect pool of all time. Rasmus Asplund is their 3rd leading scorer.

You don't know what you're talking about and it's fairly obvious. You're also arguing with no one at this point. So... Would you like fries with that?

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Hell of a ***** thing to post on Pride. Staal sucks and I want him gone already. He's a whiny baby who mailed it in here. Drury isn't a good GM. Grier might be. Skeptical of Briere.

I think it might be because those centers don't have consensus on who's best. Desnoyers, O'Brien, McQueen, Frondell, and perhaps Martin all have debates around how to rank them. Martone is pretty much locked into 3-4

We don't need 2 rhd stay at homes, we need one for Power. Dahlin needs a lhd stay at home type.

Jake Allen maybe? Actually Anton Forsberg is an option, Our new Sr advisor knows him

Torts got fired for some altercation with York. Not interested.

Imagine how different NHL drafts would be if the players were 20yr olds.

We all agree they need an experienced #1 NHL goalie right? That you can't run upl/ Levi and expect any hope of playoffs?

That's pretty cool and smart.

On Roger McQueen https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2025/5/14/24424541/2k25-draft-profiles-roger-mcqueen-nhl-brandon-wheat-kings-hockey "But onto that injury. At first, McQueen’s injury was simply known as “Back Injury”; which was initially was rumored to be a slipped disc, but was clarified later to be Spondylolysis, or a Pars Fracture of the Spine, which can be quite dangerous, but is quite common in both contact and non-contact sports where forced spine extension is a part of the deal (Gymnasts and O-linemen are frequently the victims of this), and while it usually does require a brace, physical therapy, and plenty of rest, it is usually treatable without surgery, and from his direct correspondence with local journalists, it appears he never needed it."
