Does the fact there has been no movement actually signal hope?

Anyone else hoping the Bills loss will make Pegula angry enough to want to fire someone and that someone will be Adams?

Unfortunately, it will most likely look like:

-- Oh good, the silver lining of the end of the NFL season is that Pegula can focus on the improving the Sabres.

2 hours later.

-- Good god! No! Stop trying to improve the Sabres! Please.

I personally don't agree with the "If they are going to make a move I don't want Adams making it".  I get some people want Adams gone, but to me, his issues is not the moves he has made have all been awful, its that there haven't been enough. There should have been more guys brought it. More signings. More trades.  

The ones he has made...first...were they all him? How much input from the rest of the hockey dept was there? how much input from the owner was there?  We don't know that, but when I look at the moves, Some good, some bad, some TBD, some maybe on the bad sign of things but the conditions dictated it. Overall, I can't say his moves are awful.

Again the problem is there aren't enough of them, and this moment, as each day goes by and nothing is done, that is more of a mark against him.  But if a move is out there, I don't have a problem with him pulling the trigger on it.  Again to repeat myself, when he does pull the trigger, he's not a bad shooter, its just he hardly ever pulls that trigger is the problem.

It’s hilarious that Adams’ Wikipedia page stands as thus:

No question he hasn't made enough or even the right deals, but he has made some piss poor deals as well.

lol, most likely but there's a small part of me that hopes he wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror and thinks "I just don't get sports at all. Maybe it's time I go to Florida and let somebody else run these things and just let my accountants look at the balance sheets". 

Ya gotta dream.

They have been broken since Thanksgiving.

On the even of he last game before Thanksgiving I think they were in a playoff spot.  11-9-1. Over .500. Positive goal differential. Playoff spot. Won 3 in a row and 4 out of 5 coming off of a western road trip. Things were really looking up around here.

Since then 7-17-4 (basically 7-21).  A 52 point pace.  

I'm trying to think back, did something happen right at the start of that losing streak that broke this team....as Thorner said...even taking out the streak they haven't been good. It just seems like such an inflection point to be random.

 

Tage came back from injury.
