I know it’s hard to be optimistic because we’re Sabres fans. But we have Jack Eichel, Rasmus Dahlin, very few bad contracts, and $35 million in cap space in an off-season where most of the league is in a cap dungeon. And we no longer have to worry about Jason Botterill squandering all this. It is a good morning. Oh, I’d be thrilled if I were the new GM, pretty good team ready to get a goaltender, a forward and go! Just now, Eleven said: Not cool. Why?

We'll see what comes next. But I feel good about it. Even if "it" is just Ralph telling Kevyn "let's get that guy, Jack says he's hard to play against".

A rags to riches story. Came up from the bottom to claim the title from JBotts who was at least competent. I’m kind of surprised Kim Pegula didn’t try on the ruby slippers.

Trettioåtta Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 I wonder if Adams and Ralph will almost be co-GM. Adam will be the business / finance / cap guy and Ralph will be the more hockey focused one. He was the manager of a football team prior to this, not just the coach, after all
Ogrish Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Does this mean I get to give a **** about the Sabres again? 1

thewookie1 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Botts must of really made one hell of a blunder recently in his discussions with the Pegulas about the team. I'd guess the Pegulas are mostly tone deaf to the fans based on prior statements but something must of put Botts in hot water. Perhaps his plan was to bring up youngsters again and Krueger and Eichel told the Pegulas that doing the exact same thing is just plain insanity. Adams seems like an odd choice but he's likely giving a good deal of power to Krueger who has at very least built up foreign hockey programs. While he's one of the Pegula's people he is by far the only one that seemingly has had success in his positions in PSE. 2

freester Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Firing Jbot is obviously a great move, but not hiring an experienced GM is another critical error by the Pegulas. 2
