I like how he phrased this ownership change... he never said sell the team... could he be looking to his kids to own it?

I have no doubt they called... here is the thing... how does Adams trade this guy... Well... he seems to be in a precarious position in his job... I cannot see him trading him and making the team worse... so he would need to get a package going to get the best player in the trade... this is not likely to happen because of the NMC that seem to bar any NHLer that has one from coming here.... So any trade would be for multiples of less player, prospects and picks.... probably not gonna catapult us into the playoffs.... Pegula... the other way they make the trade is if Pegula is pushing for it for whatever reason ... i.e reducing payroll... in that instance again I do not see this as a benefit move for the Sabres.... Lastly, because Tage wants to force his way out and they have to go get something for him... well... that certainly doesnt bode well for the Sabres either.... Bottom line, I do not see KA trading this player on his own as I think it would be very difficult to make the team better by doing so and his job should likely be on the line... UNLESS he has assurances from TP that he will be brought back next year and into the future... then Adams gonna Adams... and that is also bad for the Sabres...

Back not back... here sweden... I am just happy she is doing well this was so tragic.

If not now soon... lol

Its really all they got... and of course they are gonna use it... we see thru it... but will Pegs?

Indeed!!! Lol

I think it is a little less Salt Lake and Buffalo hockey markets per se... I think he like Utah and the excitement that went with a new team and expectations at we are just happy to be here... he comes to a hornets nest in Buffalo and uses the term hockey market as a Euphemistic way of saying its really nasty here, people have nothing nice to say about the team, they boo us and the relationship with the fans and the press is one of acrimony and toxicity because of 14 years of abject stupidity and neglect... (aka the is a hockey market here that has a history and its a really bad one) bottom line to me is he has already taken notice of how bad things are here.

This is like saying, If I can dunk a basketball on a 10 foot net would you let me play in the NBA... that is a pretty safe bet that isnt gonna happen... I think at this point if Adams can pull a turnaround with this team and get them to the playoffs... sure lol let him stay you can fire him in november of next year ... bottom line we are currently in last place in the conference... again... the hole gets deeper... we are going to need to play like a contender to win the division to make the playoffs... the injuries are insane... I just dont see a path for that to happen... 14 points currently and 6 points out we need to theoretically increase our point production by 43% plus make up the 6 to keep pace and be in a tie for a playoff spot... coincidentally I would need to increase my leaping ability by the same amount to dunk a basket ball LOL 😄

Start about 19/20 mins

Honestly the whole thing is a really good pod cast... so its hard to time stamp the 6 or 7 salient points

I get it... but Matthew... its over... make your tee times... nothing changes until Pegula sells or brings in competent management. Everything else I agree with... Why would we let Adams make trades? Why would we not want the new GM to be able to assess this team... Why is Adams here? etc..

The abject ineptitude of this management is literally unparralleled... the they make the federal Government look like the bastion of practicality and efficiency...

Major rebuild... Thompson, Dahlin, Tuch, Power are not going to all stand for this much longer... there is no way out... our star players are going to defect, we will be unable to procure equal assets because of NMCs and we will get young players/prospect and picks... but no one who will immediately come in and make this team measurably better... there is no white knight only more pain... and starting over aaaaaaaaaagain....

Exactly Ray and Domi were like 5 10 200 or so lbs... Wendell Clark about the same, Peca even lighter, Danny Gare smaller than that... the list goes on... I could also then bring in Mike Wilson, Tyler Myers, Uwe Krupp, Dave Andreychuck, who were not known as physical players... I think the constant is that we wanted them to be more physical because they had the size to make it an advantage (although Andreychuck was a beast down low controlling the puck) but toughness is more about mindset (see Zach Benson) and less about physical size... although actually having the mindset AND the physical size is optimal for effectiveness.

I would say if firmly entrenched in last place in the conference is real... we are so for real....
