We need to get a power play whiz specialist in there immediately to help out Granato promote VO to power play whiz specialist

Also, there's no prospect in the system who can step in and do better than Mitts or VO right now, so they aren't "blocking" anyone. The only two NHL ready enough to make a true impact are Quinn and Krebs and they are in the same boat yet producing less. They haven't been blocked, either - they are playing.

The bolded made me chuckle a bit. There's only so much credit we can give the front office for "fortunately" realizing Mitts isn't good enough, after lining him up at 2C to start the season

I can see where you are coming from on this, where your emotions are at. I feel this way about movie theatres. The industry itself is dying, the theatres struggling to keep up profits often have fallen into disrepair - the theatre by my place is becoming a POS. But I go, all the time, because I love movies and the theatrical experience and I want it to succeed. I'll put up with a sh*tty experience in theatre because I want to be there. But it would be a massive mistake for me to hold a grudge against people who want to experience their movies in a different way. It's 2022, there are myriad of ways to experience the art form without having to put yourself in a situation one finds uncomfortable - how anyone could believe they have the authority to tell people *how* to engage with a product/art form/sport they love is beyond me. - It's a personal relationship. It should be enough that people want to be here, discussing the team, with you. We shouldn't ever forget that the Buffalo Sabres are, first and foremost in essence, a product. An entertainment product. The burden of convincing fans to part with their hard earned money assuredly falls on the party doing the selling. Fans who are engaging with the team but not spending as much money are simply fans waiting to be convinced to part with their hard-earned dollars. The point, though, is that they are still around, listening, and waiting, for the argument that'll finally convince them. -

Fan. Short form for: fanatic. a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, especially for an extreme religious or political cause. Anyone fanatically supporting the team in an absolutely positive, or absolutely negative way, is assuredly Sith. And they scare me a little bit, to be honest.
