I ended up not saving money on my car insurance when i switched to Gieco.. and it turns out the 'Car Warranty' thing... was a scam LOL

Here is the chart...

Couple of honorable mentions... I personally hated trading away Zadorov... we could use his nasty Not signing Ullmark I also think was a major screw up Clearly the biggest after the Eichel mismanagement was not hiring a tenured experienced GM after Murray and Botterill both failed... instead we got a guy whose claim to fame was re doing the bathrooms in KBA... which is impossible to believe until you realized they hired a Soccer executive from England to coach the team... and of course listening to Phyliss Housely preach to the team about "getting to the tough places" was interesting as well...

Truer words LOL....

I am not sure about worst... I think we are closer to the over all worst defensive play to include defenseman and forwards playing two way... I clearly an no where near enamoured with our goaltending... but, I am interested to see if it overall looks better if we have more of a two way team...

Was listening to Brad May say the same thing... players would love to come here if ownership hadnt created the pit of Misery... Dilly Dilly

I worry about this too... but in the end... we are going to have to see if we play better defensively without him... however the Norris concept... I think we got raked if this guy cant stay healthy...

Huge loss....

I have always been in the anyone is available for trade, including Phil Esposito, Pierre Turgeon, Pat LaFontaine etc... so I am fine trading literally anyone on this team... I have two requirements however LOL 1. Its not Adams making those trades 2. We get the best player in the trade Since 1. is not possible at this point, and 2 based on our history and reputation is about as impossible as me dunking a basket ball... I am going to agree with you...

Oh I think you can bet on Greenway, Norris and Muel all on IR at somepoint this season... for sure.

Amen to that! 100% agree... the sarcasm and irony was absolutely not lost on me LOL 🙂

Because he is Kevyn.....

I agree... I also think that the fact there is not a discernable structure and we even have to speculate... (Like Literally, I have no idea what the reporting lines are... but it seems all roads go thru Pegula... ) speaks to the disorganization of the FO...

I love that we are calling this an over haul... just sayin... but yes I think he is done unless there is some AHL/NHL tweener that can help Rochester that we can get cheap... I dont see any other major deals... IMO

Well i meant Center but absolutely assistant coaches for sure

Bottom line to me we have seen this show in some variation 14 times... we made some precursory changes by trying to get a bit better defensively and grit wise by removing offense and one of our better young offensive players... still need a G, and a C... the more it changes the more it stays the same most people will view this until it actually does change. Maybe it will maybe it won't but I can't blame the same ol same old folks... I am probably one of them hoping against hope a new mix of player finally gets it to click... but deep down i know that isn't a likely forgone conclusion...

I think the league is seeing what TP obviously is insulated from the abject visceral disdain the fan base has for him and his FO and the abject nonpluss they have for us. People are voting with their feet currently and it will get worse as the situation continues to the point our area will look like the Cleveland Barron's arena in the 70s... this clearly is bad for league revenue. The question is what will they do about it. They could try and force a move... they could put pressure for a new FO... put some kind of a control board in place 😆 lol but I think anything they do will be about organization and not league wide competition aka nmc's

I just dont know this kid... but in Jarmo I trust on this call...

as the rest of the board can be heard breaking out into... "We're gonna win that cup... me and the Buffalo Sabres yeah yeah yeah" LOL

and you hope that somebody (players) will hold the others accountable for playing that way... especially if Lindy actually has options to go too that say I want you to play this way you arent so these guys are getting the ice time... hard to do when you literally have no one to point to and put out there... if there is improvement it will be because the mix of players is more conducive to two way grittier hockey and better defense.

Thank you!

Ok another question because you know more about this stuff... I have seen this with Levi, Grigorenko, etc... they sometimes let these kids play a few games in the NHL... I think the number maybe is 9 and they can still remain in Jr?? But from an ELC standpoint does that burn a year...

trying to digest this signing..... in terms of good or bad... in the end a lot of it has to do with what comes next... Getting him signed with a 2 year term - Good, he could have went with 1 year in arbitration so if we do want to trade at least we have some term Him being on our team - Good hoping Dahlin pairing brings the best out of him What about a trade - Good/Bad - Its bad we didnt land a top 6 forward, but was that realistic was adams finding out that any one he thought was acceptable didnt want to come here.... Good - not confident Adams would make a trade that would be equal in value today... likely would need prospects to even it up. also Good at least for the time being the asset stays and there is a chance that if the time comes to move said asset (past this year) that it wont be Adams doing the moving Adams handling of the situation - Good - you all know what I think of him and his ineptness, but he got him signed with minor term to a reasonable deal and didnt get us fleeced in a trade because he caved to the pressure. I think he saw the market realized that there was no "real" hockey trade there only picks and prospects to even up a lesser player for Bo. He honestly IMO made the best of a really bad overall situation for the Sabres that limits their ability to even make reasonable trades due to NMCs. Situation - Really Bad - the fact that we have to keep discussing the extreme difficulty for the Sabres to engage in trades with out having to seek equal value in prospects and picks... and in the end they can do what they want... but until this narrative changes ( and we all have our opinions on how and if it will change) you really will tread water in the make/dont make the playoff pool, will never really be a contender unless you get reaaaaally lucky and get Tom Brady in the 6th rd per se... and happen to hit on superstars in the draft... Over all I give Adams the did the best he probably could without really removing options and really happy he didnt crap himself on this one cause this coulda gone wayward... maybe JKek helped

I think this is quite true. I think they are also meeting or will be to get his overall assessment. If they dont improve substantially this year I think ka is toast

I agree he is throwing darts hoping one hits a bullseye I am not sure even he believes him...
