Dad energy leader and development to a fault coach. No surprise. Spilled milk, we got Ruff and he has bark

I’ll choose to only focus on there being a new PP guy and the one who must be the direct line to the owner being at least kicked off of the bench. I’ll take that. Funny how when companies actually promote from within they get grief for it. The correct answer is usually a mix of both based on what I’ve ever seen.

UFA fails when you try to turn a tweener into a top 6 or you take a passenger paired with an all star and expect him to drive the play on his own. For the bottom 6 and role players it works out great as those guys are common cap casualties. And that’s all we’re looking for.

Rags are diving all over while doing the be so dirty the refs won’t call it all technique. Disgusting favoritism. Make examples

Diggs wasn’t being doubled. He wasn’t doing what he needed to be doing with his salary regardless of whether he caught it or not

I agree completely with Adam’s current narrative. The problem has been coaching and leadership. The talent is now there. Yes we need some vet depth but we don’t need no key talent piece. I thought this was obvious two years ago and am mad he took this long to fire Granato, but I believe he has the right assessment on things. I see I’m a minority here

I was fine until the end. I don’t think this is fair to a guy who traded away Eichel and Reinhart. Sure they weren’t his draft picks, but I’m sure they would have been at the time. It’s in Lindy to dictate playtime to play hardball and then the GM moves a player who doesn’t buy in. That’s not on the GM to do in the absence of a coach unless it’s a toxic situation. on that note I don’t think it’s fair to say Kevyn is the fiercely loyal one- it was the coach who only knew how to develop players to want to do what he was comfortable with.

Cozens is a solid 2C everyone had suppressed numbers this year They will look to UFA for a 3C. Ruff wants his veteran Gaustad. We have the cap to overpay for whoever this ends up being

watching Coleman’s all targets he definitely dropped more than 2, a lot of bad passes his way but that was a bit generous. he didn’t really come successfully away with the jump balls like scouts sold. He did get held quite a bit though and was wide open with separation plenty. His successful hurdle was pretty. His unsuccessful one still was funny. I still think he has a chance to be a better Gabe, but he isn’t as sure hands as I’d hope. Still some pretty catches we haven’t really seen from our receivers the last handful of years though.

They’re constrained by the cap. The way they’re doing it it’s just one bad year on the cap instead of continuing pushing the can down the road. It just is what it is. At least they plugged nearly all the holes in a draft.

KC just won during a “reset”, it’s Abbott getting hot when it counts.

I still think it’s coaching and execution that will make the difference. The coaching is evolving on offense and we can’t really do worse on injuries. The new guys have a reputation of being smart players that are clutch, not athletic tools you have to teach the game to and hope they pick up the instinct (ignoring the international guy) a receiver might break free come trade deadline from some team that isn’t hacking it

Beyond a bonafide stud receiver what is the team missing? This draft plugged a bunch of holes everywhere that would’ve added up in cap if we tried to do it with aging vets and I still don’t think a stud receiver is absolutely necessary with Josh. He’s always spread out the touches and we’ve replaced a bunch of guys over the last few years who didn’t have a reputation for actually catching the ball with guys who do

Every pick fills a hole. Rookies for cheap to fill it out. At least it’s all guys with great character and not some athletic freak with character issue gambles like other teams will make

Another hole filled with a second rounder most say is ready to start right away. Glad we’re run well

A receiver who played basketball at MSU earlier on is going to be that athlete our coaches love. Sound like a high floor pick even if the ceiling isn’t the moon

Guy simply doesn’t drop the ball. All he has to do is fill in for Gabe’s routes, which Gabe never freaking won anyway and dropped the ball if it came his way. Fills the hole, about all you can ask for

He wasn’t just 18yo. He was also an underweight under 6’ player. And he had more craft out there and didn’t let the physicality cause him to cower. A couple of years and he’s going to be a menace.

Correct this for empty netters? lindy was always an early lead then hold the fort coach

Power doesn’t have an active stick. That’ll change quick with Ruff

Lindy: your system is set before the start of training camp and doesn’t really change throughout season. It’s all about developing muscle memory from day 1. breath of fresh air Christ

Lindy Ruff is the guy who made this happen. Our team full of Nordic kids are in for trouble https://sports.yahoo.com/news/ville-leino-depicts-third-season-sabres-jail-clothing-design-185834130.html

The devils are paying for the next two years unless he signed for a higher dollar amount. So it’s his way to bridge the leftover Granato contract and be cheap too

I heard a Billionaire fan who cares but doesn’t want to give up control being happy to be able to make amends to the guy he had fired in the first place before everything went to ***** for a decade. KA is a yes man he is never going to do that. He only has the job because he has no issue being a lap dog to Terry

They both acknowledged it yes
