Pegula has been dinged around the league for hasty firings of coaches and GMs. He is sticking with DG and Kevyn, in part to show the league stability. He has a knack for doing the wrong things, no matter what his decisions. I was critical of this roster from the very start of the season. Critical of the lack of moves, critical of the prolonged training camp, critical of the extended tryouts in October and November. This team was never really ready to contend for anything. One silver lining is UPL. No doubt that if UPL was still playing at Tokarski/Dell AHL levels we would have overplayed and ruined Levi. Take away UPL and they are a bottom 5 team again. The Mitts trade? Still to early for a final grade but right now it looks like we created a big hole and failed to fill a big hole. All we need next is for Byram to not sign an extension and force a trade at the deadline. Then we end up with a 2nd rounder for Mitts - I see that coming. Unless of course Byram likes the Sabres country club and decides to stay.

The Stars clearly play faster and with way more structure, they are the better coached team. I didn't see the first 7 or 8 minutes but what I saw was more of the same from the Sabres. The bottom 6 is very poor. The defense does nothing to support UPL around the crease. The combination of Joker and Byram is especially soft. Does Bo Byram really look like a first pairing defenseman? That fantasy is over. -

The problem with the Sabres is not size. It is experience and the way they play. -

So sad to read these pages. I hope Kevyn comes up with something better, and soon. -

It’s not funny because they drafted Rosen, Savoie, Kulich, and Östlund in the first round - all centers. Will any be NHL centers? wingers? -

With Mitts gone we really have to improve on Cozens, Krebs, and Jost at center. They are thin up the middle. -

My eyes and experience told me that. Thanks for the data. Please share it with Granato and his defensive assistant coach. -

He may be wearing out but the Stars are all around the crease and in the slot. They seem to live there. UPL might need to get some Billy Smith in him. Billy would use his stick to clear the slot. Ah, the good old days. -

I would like to see them beat a very good team on the road tonight. No “pressure” of the home crowd - I can’t believe that’s a thing but apparently it is for these boys. Entertain me, and show the fan base that you care. -
Biggest Sabres issue - losing the 1st period badly too often
Pimlach replied to Big Guava's topic in The Aud Club
You missed my point. Terry thinks he is on par with the younger guys that he hires. He would be concerned an old vet like Trotz would blow him off. And none of his GMs, Murray, Botrill and especially Adams , were longtime AGMs. Even the “well respected “ part had limitations on their experience. These guys were all hired on the young side and were considered to be bright and capable, but GM is a stretch assignment for all of them. Maybe a far stretch.
