Yeah, it was magic culture change getting rid of Skinner and not the fact that their near historically bad goaltending that was killing them when the advanced stats said they should be a cup contender improved. Scott Darling made Carter Hutton look like Hasek, that's how bad their goaltending sucked.

Yeah, this clearly wasn't pushing a narrative to fans because they had to trade one of their best players for a bag of rocks...

Skinner was 100% traded because he wasn't re signing with the Canes because he wanted to be closer to home (which is LITERALLY the reason he was traded to us: It was the only place he would waive his NMC to go to). The whole "RBA got rid of him" thing some people are pushing is absolute made up fantasy *****.

I have no idea why anyone expects a bunch of wild moves this offseason. No veteran player worth acquiring will agree to waive their NTC to come here. No UFA with any options is signing here unless they get an insane overpay. We are the single least respected organization in all of hockey with an owner who is just about the biggest failure in the modern history of the sport. There has never been an organization less respected than the Pegula Sabres and NOBODY wants to come here. There is a terrible price to pay for the neverending stupidity and incompetence and until this team is an actual contender we will continue to pay it. What Adams can realistically do (and has to) is identify guys who are badly undervalued by the rest of the league (this is where having a solid analytics department comes into play) and take advantage of this.

Krebs: Tage:

This is why the NHL is viewed as a complete joke one step above pro wrestling.

And our fans will learn a painful lesson about squandering usefull playe... Nope, they'll continue to do things like demand Peyton Krebs be traded for a 5th round pick (even funnier/sadder given people wishing to acquire Sam Bennett).

By "rumours" you mean "some stuff a clickbait site just made up" right?

SULLY FINALLY GETTING HIS DUE!!!

If our power play was designed and coached by any of the 7,999,999,999 people on Earth who aren't Matt Ellis that dream would've been a reality this season.

This is like worrying about dealing with the upkeep expenses if you end up living in a mansion when you currently reside in a cardboard box on Skid Row.

You would think the fact that there are an absurd number of former Sabres on the teams still competing for the cup would teach people a very painful lesson, but nope...

Do you know who Adams cannot acquire through a trade no matter what he offers? Anyone in the entire league with a no trade/no move clause. But I will note this doesn't let him off the hook for appearing to have no clue about constructing a roster.

Me seeing the Stars get jobbed in a game 6 OT:

I don't think people realize just how horrible a job Granato and his staff did last season when you look at the other coaches who got sacked for poor results. All of the other guys essentially got sunk by terrible goaltending while Granato got very good goaltending with UPL playing close to Vezina level from January on. When you fail miserably with solid goaltending that's as inexcusable and awful a failure as possible. If there was an Anti-Jack Adams award he would deserve to win it unanimously.

Remember that time we signed E-Rod because he was Jack's linemate at BU and pairing them would make all the sense in the world and then never put him on Jack's line?

I mean it's not like Dallas cheated to win their cup on an illegal goal or anything...

1- Trade Top 6 center for defenseman whose career has fallen off a cliff and is a complete liability in his own end. 2- ???????????????? 3- PROFIT!

There is zero chance RBA leaves Raleigh. He wants to be there and has no desire to leave, they want him to stay.

Clearly hiring one of the winningest coaches in NHL history with a long track record of success was a huge mistake and we should've just hired another Rolston or Housley instead.

After watching that pile of dogshit Caps team and thinking how they somehow got into the playoffs I want us to rehire that incompetent Granato just so we can instantly fire him again. What an appaling failure this season was, no coach in history was more justly fired.
