  1. Yes. And if the Sabres are in the bottom 5 of the league come April and averaging 7,000 fans a game, I'd say that there's a 100% chance he's fired.
  2. With Karmanos waiting in the wings it's more likely he gets fired than not.
  3. If the Sabres are bottom 5 in the league come spring, and the attendence is under 8,000 a game, Pegula will fire Adams at the end of the season. Expect him to start scheduling skip level meetings with Karmanos around President's day.
  4. So that was a fight, I guess.
  5. Who the fans who said they are on board with this plan back in September? The attendance and television rating clearly show that the majority of Sabre fans are not on board with this plan.
  6. I really don't see Tuch or the 20 year olds being much of a difference for the Sabres this year. And there's a chance that the Sabres current young guys hit a wall, as many of them have not played an 80+ game NHL schedule. If the goaltending improves, maybe UPL catches lightning in a bottle or Anderson returns at peak form, that could help. Other than that, only Arizona's awfulness will keep the Sabres out of the 32nd spot.
  7. It's official. The Sabres have become the Washington Generals.
  8. Oh, those a-holes? F*** them.
  9. Who agreed to a season with zero expectations? The NHL is a pretty brutal league. Franchises with zero expectations usually get chewed up and spit out.
  10. So give up playoff run this season and probably next for a goalie still in the AHL or college? I'm sure the 5,000 fans who show up for thegames over the next two years would love that.
  11. I think it's heavy lift for a goalie to put this current team into the playoff race. But if there is a guy who can do that, it's hard to believe he wouldn't be able to do the same next season. If that player is a UFA next season, Adams should be able to use the teams success to convince him to re-sign with the team.
  12. Why would a good goalie who elevates the team to playoff contention be around for only this year? Adams wouldn't be able to convince him to stick around?
  13. This is valid. Granato has done a lot of good things, but he does have to prove that he can coach to win games in the NHL.
  14. No. I think the Sabres should load up on $750k players while they wait 5 years to see if their 19 year players develop into anything, until the end of time. And we can all be happy in our shared agreement not to hold the organization accountable for winning ever.
  15. They've been doing that the last 10 years. Let's ask the 7500 people at the next game how that is working out.
  16. So send him to Rochester and let him play there for a couple of months.
  17. He'll be fired by then. Terry will turn on him, like he did the others.
  18. At least Eichel knew how to properly break a stick after an empty netter.
  19. And if the Sabres got their hands back on him, he'd be on the top pairing with Dahlin.
  20. Good for Seattle. It's always a confidence builder for an expansion team when they can beat up the weak sisters of the league.
  21. That's been the Sabres motto for the last 6 years.
  22. Adams must not have weeded out all of the guys who don't want to be here yet.
  23. This season was supposed to be about the young guys. It's turning out to be more about the 41 year old and 32 year old goalies.
