If he sees that Hall abused the team for his own gain then, yeah. Cozens will hit anything. Also there's Laz- Oh. Never mind. I could see an Angry Giraffe taking a run at him too. Quote

Expand The only one who came to mind when I posed that question was Cozens and I'm not sure that a kid with his level of inexperience would take a run at someone with Hall's veteran stature and league standing (like him or not). Regardless, this organization is a mess and seemingly seems to be continuing its spiral in the wrong direction. It's like standing by helplessly watching a loved one painfully pass. Quote
Norcal Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Brian Lawton just said if Hall backed the Sabres into a corner they should have just told him to take a seat and go get ur deal after the season. He didn't think Adams should have just acquiesced to his demands. Safe to say that there's alot of stuff that goes into this that we will never know about. 1 Quote

They can do no wrong 😂 Expand That isn't the least bit contradictory. You can respect someone for what they do and still sports-hate their guts. Quote

People need to accept that at his salary, with a NMC, lack of playoff experience or leadership reputation, and with the way he played this season the market for Hall just was not there. Expand Best player here? 🙄Talk about over thinking.... Point was Buffalo should’ve gotten more for what they traded away. That is all. Quote

Expand Yeah that sounds good today, but come draft day, Sabre fans would hate that move. Hopefully Adams thinks twice during free agency this off season before giving too much money and control to any one player. This season is a great lesson to a new GM that the best way to improve is through good prospects and good coaching. Quote

There's a lot the fans don't know about. I mean, there's a discussion on this board where people are completely oblivious to what's really going on. Probably better that way, I suppose. Hockey's supposed to be an escape, at least for the fans. Quote
