What in the Pegula's ownership history or in Kevyn's employment history tells you that Kevyn Adams is the right man for this job? All coaches and GM's are hired to be fired. Adams is no different.

It’s sad that today knocked Out one of the board’s few remaining optimists and failed to bring anybody back. Quote

As I have said a few times, I would have preferred several posters here to have been GM after Darcy was fired over the parade of incompetents we have had. I am hoping that he telepathically channels the board's consensus on player evaluations, usage of analytics, and resource management. That would be far preferable to GMTM and JNot. Quote

Brawndo Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 A How Long Until Jack demands a trade countdown is appropriate as well. Quote

Yes, there isn't a whole lot that points to Adams being a successful GM. I don't think that means that we should start estimating his demise on his first day on the job. Quote

Stoner Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 But how many Norri for the Rasmi during that span? I'm thinking three for Ras the former and four for Ras the latter. 1 Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 12 hours ago, Doohickie said: Adams will be GM for 16 years. During that time, the Sabres will win the Stanley Cup 7 times. This. In the future, near the end of Kevyn Adams successful reign, some fans will claim that Adams didn't build the team and that it was handed to him by Botterill, just like John Muckler was responsible for Darcy Regier's success.
