LGR4GM

Fire Adams and the entire coaching staff with the exception of Bales to start. 5 years of being bad and you're in here defending Adams. It's breathtaking. He's been GM for 2 of 3 Sabres 13 game losing streaks. He needs to be fired and an adult with actual brains brought in. Howdy Doody's palm trees and want to be here act has worn thin. 5 years. 0 playoffs. 1 top 6 forward brought in via trade. The dude is incompetent.

The Sabres are in what? 31st 32nd in the league and you're arguing Adams fixed something? What did he fix? Instead of a culture of "what to be in Buffalo" he should have focused on "actually good at hockey". Also who gives a ***** of Levi some day some time becomes a starter and Kulich some day is a 30g scorer? In the 4 years since that trade Reinhart won a cup and is a 50g scorer. Great in another 3 years we might have something... only took 7 more seasons of losing! Victory. No ***** gm with a brain would have signed a 3rd pair defender with 58 total nhl games to a 7 year deal worth over 4 million. Also who gives a flying ***** if in year 6 of that deal is a "steal"? For the first 3 it's been terrible. Excuses is all I hear. Adams is a failure.

He gets 0 credit for goalie prospect situation. He could have in the same summer kept Reinhart and drafted Wallstedt. Instead he bridges Reinhart again and then trades him for magic beans. There is 0 gms in the entire league who would have signed Samuelsson to that deal. It was awful. This is all excuses for why Adams in 5, count them 5 years of crap doesn't have a playoff team. He's a bad gm and this post actually proves it. The Sabres have 2 Russian prospects of interest and their drafting (looking at 2022) has been okay but not great. Carolina is what great looks like. Trading for Byram is still bizarre. "Saving" cap isn't a thing. His "want to be here" stance is mind numbingly stupid. Players want to win. The Ruff move didn't seem sound at the time. He didn't even conduct a search. They did it to sell tickets. The more I read this post the angrier I get. What nonsense, Adams is a failure, Ruff is a failure, the team is a failure, and Terry Pegula is the worst owner in the NHL.

Oooo I was right for several minutes

Jack's Back!!!!!

5!!!!!

Benson!!!!

Sabres right now to the islanders...

3-0

But I was told Drury was a good gm!?!? Not so much here but I wanna rag on the rags

2-0 keep it up

5-0 Buffalo.

Kulich!

Because they are incompetent and they have favorites. It was Zemgus and now it is Krebs because Krebs HAS TO WORK due to Adams Eichel trade. It is why they keep forcing Levi into NHL action too. Levi HAS TO WORK otherwise Adams is the big idiot... which he has proven to be. I think the McLeod trade is a Karmanos move supported by analytics. I also think they are obsessed with making Kulich into a center because then they can justify moving another center. Bottom line, this isn't a management group that seems to be in a "must win" mode and they look like they quit on the season and are just in another development year.

Morning Skate: Looks like Quinn is back in and poor McLeod is getting demoted to the 4th line. I'm confident that there is not a level that Cozens could suck at that would get him bumped for any length of time to wing.

Just fly casual

Michael Misa is currently on pace for 65g and 132 points in the OHL. Since 2004/5 that would rank him overall at 4th. If you look at draft year only, he would be 2nd only to Patrick Kane who was 3 months older and 62g, 145pts. The only player with more goals was John Tavares with 72 in this draft -2 year, which is an astounding feat really. Tavares hit 58 in his draft year. Porter Martone is currently on pace for 50g and 129pts. This would put him in a tie for 3rd for draft eligible guys behind Kane and Misa and tied with Dylan Strome. Other players of note in their draft year around these totals are: Mitch Marner, Wyatt Johnson, Connor McDavid (who did 120pts in 47 games) McDavid's ppg pace is the best in the OHL to this day with Kane and 19yr old Rob Schremp the only others in the ballpark. Misa is at a 2.03ppg and Martone is at 2.08ppg. McKenna is at a 2.0ppg pace currently. Again D-1 though

D-1 = Draft Year Minus 1 year (so the year before they are draft eligible) DY = Draft Year (Your team can pick them in June) DY+1 = Draft Year Plus 1 year (so the first year after they have been drafted) Gavin McKenna just turned 17 and will not be draft eligible until 2026. His draft -1 year (this year) has him pacing above what Connor McDavid did in his draft -1 year. Currently McKenna is 1st in the WHL for all players in terms of points with 60pts in 30 games. He is 2nd in the WHL in terms of PPG behind DY+1 Andrew Cristall who turns 20 in February. You want generational talent, the other workhorse from Whitehorse is your guy. That's right, Gavin is from the same place as Cozens and played with his brother in the u15 league there back in the day (2019). If McKenna keeps up his current pace (which he won't because of WJC) he would end the year with 41g, 128pts. That would rank him 6th overall since 2004/5 in terms of pts in the WHL. It would rank him 2nd for 17yr olds in the WHL in terms of pts in a season. Connor Bedard who played his 17yr old season 5 months older due to his July bday tops him with 143pts. Zach Benson btw, is 9th overall for 17yr olds in the WHL since 2004/5 with 98.
