He’s been awful

There is no reason a GM averaging 70 points for half a decade should have a job none Under the parameters of Terry’s restrictions, he’s failed utterly

Why does anyone have a job? Lol

I think we’re had adequate goaltending for roughly 5% of Adams’ tenure

Going gets tough, a tough GM goes to work well done mr Adams, I wasn’t familiar with your game

The answer here is only ever “it’ll take more time” the quiet part out loud is they don’t actually care about them

They’ll care about winning if they want their friends and family to be happy That’s the reason I watch - it’s the joy of celebrating with loved ones And it’s why runs like 2006 are enough.

A lot don’t

Howdy Doody is catching on

Not only in aspiration but in mechanics, as well. The only possible plan of action should we change GMs is another long form rebuild, of course

The whole thing is being presented backwards again. We have seen the results: they are in fact very bad under Adams, league relative, for a long period of time. That’s the actual, objective standings based result, the “answer” if you will. We can work backwards to see where management went wrong we are still projecting out a “who could have expected it to be bad?” mindset based on a *personally biased* analysis of the work Adams did through the prism of the moment. We don’t need to do that: we have the actual results

lol go check the samuelsson thread and read my response to see if it’s only a sketchy deal in hindsight

Comedy makes me happy

How soon can you extend a GM currently under contract? Just curious

Theatrical cuts >

Tbh it doesn’t really matter what happens the rest of this season. I’ve seen enough; Playoffs next year for sure purely based on the growth internally

Honestly, have to hand it to Kevyn Adams

He can’t be on board next year

I think you are stuck on LOTR filter

You can’t lose literally every game

Playoffs?

Why do we play today

It might just be that his definition of “success” or what’s acceptable is just plainly different when considering the two teams. The scariest thing isn’t that Terry is incompetent: it’s the possibility the Sabres are performing exactly as Terry needs them to. Which is something we unfortunately need to consider

Probably one of Adams’ biggest failings: so easily bending over backwards to the EEE strategy, at the very least. The enabling and encouragement of Terry’s worst qualities is exactly why we know he’s unfit to be a GM. Well, that and the complete lack of qualifications, or results achieved If we can’t get rid of problem numero uno in Terry, our only hope is he eventually realizes the only way to success is an experienced GM, neither selling a long form plan nor amenable to one, backed by a franchise actually prioritizing winning in the now. The issue being, I’m not even sure Terry is measuring success by those same parameters
