My concern has always been our management having the ability to build a team rather than collect individual talent. I do have concerns about this revolving door management. I do have hope still that Adams and Karmonis may be able to stabilize things. If not we'll be wheel spinning. The owners need to take responsibility for failures to hire the right management over their tenure and this may have been their last chance.

A bloated staff on a last place team. Glad he gutted a bloated ineffective scouting department. That's not penny pinching it's just smart. So sick of taking any stretch of facts to just bash people. There's several posters who aren't here to discuss hockey or our team but only to crusade against the owners. We've heard it over and over a drumbeat that with me has lost any effect. I've been critical of ownership myself but don't need to make things up.

I don't think you're accurate in this assessment.

Believe Lindy was long gone pre Risto.

SabreMike is so uplifting. Let's wait for evidence against KA/Karmonis. Agee some posters ignore Kadmanos. We need a separate thread for bashing the management and use this thread for trades/rumors.

Hope the Islanders can get it done!

Arrogance is showing. I think you need to apply for their jobs. Sorry but you really are coming across as knowing more than anyone else. Opinions are one thing thinking everyone who doesn't share them are dumb that's another thing.

Sounds like a lot of hockey people disagree. I'm inclined to go with their assessment.

Agree. The personal bashing that he's stupid ect. Is wrong. I know we're keyboard experts but let's wait before the hanging. At tis point he could make a good trade and for some it wouldn't matter.

I'm thinking KA/Karmonos get grilled no matter the trade. People on here have judged them before a trial so to speak. Their judgment may end up being correct but this bashing is really premature. Now ownership? There we have evidence.

Agree. Tbe depth of this team is weak. Goaltending sub par.

Too early to call KA/Karmanos team losers. I think Regier was not a loser and with very limited resources did quite well. The past few GM's I tend to agree although some moves by them were not completely their independent decisions probably.

Forgot expansion draft but, yes.

I'd be surprised if it's before draft.

Of the names I've heard I'm okay with it.

Agree. So many posters have just assumed KA is not smart. I honestly think he may be smarter than his two predecessors. True he's inexperienced but between him and Karmanos let's see. I think anyone from within this organization is immediately rejected by a sector of fans.

This seems to be coming from hockey buzz........so probably not going to get anywhere. Although he checks boxes.

Sorry, I'll go with scouts before our forum assessment. There's a reason their paid and we're not.

That's a real concern I would think all the possibilities are being investigated by the team. Frankly it would seem a possibility they would end up eating part of his contract to move him. Hope it doesn't come to that.

I'll be surprised if teams aren't concerned about Jack for health reasons. We have a season in any case to get that sorted out before taking a deep discount most likely by trading him now.

Read it. Yes, I can see why teams have been looking at him as possibility. Still lean toward Granato if we're not getting established NHL coach. My hunch is we're not.

It's a legitimate question. I wish he had taken over weeks before but it didn't. I think any new coach is apt to get a bit of a bounce. I think , for me, I not only liked the clubs response I liked what he's had to say about coaching. Also, if you hire anyone but an established NHL coach why not Granato? It's not like he has no coaching experience.

I think all of us looking in our rear view mirror can see we've said things we'd like to take back or re-state. Heck, I've even recieved a warning (well deserved) once. Let's hug away and be passionate about our beloved, frustrating Sabres.

Hey, I like them!!

I think it will be Donnie "meatballs". We'll see.
