Hey, they drafted Benson at 13 last year and he made the team. What does that say about the level of our forwards? Looking forward to see what Adams does with this coaching staff. Looking forward to how Adams handles Byram’s contract. Looking forward to see how they replace Mitts. Looking forward to acquiring a big, tough, hard hitting heavyweight defenseman. Looking forward to adding a power forward. Looking forward to fixing the 4th line. Looking forward to Adams replacing the 8 worst players on this team next year.

Once again a bad start. Big mistakes by young players. Once we fell behind we got Lyoned like last year versus Florida. Just not enough. Dahlin and Tage came to play but the lineup overall has a lot of garbage players, and lacks players that know how to win at this level. I’m really starting to not like the Mitts for Byram trade. We need a center badly and created a huge hole. Is Adams going to hand a job to a prospect? We will find out.

Agree. It’s not an excuse if there is data behind it. Young teams lose. If Adams fields another roster that averages 24-25 next year then they will consistently lose to rosters that average 28 or more. I am more sick of the “good veterans won’t come here” narrative. Great excuse for Adams. The Bills overcame that. Step one for Adams, which he still has not done, is to own it and get everyone that works for him to own it. They need to change the coach.

Detroit and Sabres latest rebuild are good ones to compare. Yzerman doing draft and develop plus bringing in veterans (Husso, Compher, Copp, Perron, Fabbri, Sprong, Kane, DeBrincat, Czarnik, Ghostisbehere, Petry …) Adam’s brought in Greenway, Clifton, a bunch of $780k JAGS, and a few really old guys.

Real data. The bottom 4-5 teams along with the Sabres have the youngest rosters, just like last year. Always, in every season, the youngest teams finish on the bottom. The winning streaks, or lack of, is directly related to two things 1 coaching and getting them ready 2 age/experience/leadership - they have to get themselves ready and be accountable to each other. We have enough speed and skill. We lack the right veteran know-how, and the leadership from within that comes with it. I agree that Adams is the primary reason for the roster construction.
