How do you honestly feel about this team

Been a die hard fan since 1982 and this is by far the lowest point. Completely unorganized, very uninspiring roster. Some players I do like but this is the worst organization in the sport and its not close sadly. Adams is unqualified to be a GM. Sabres need a voice, a voice that shows the passion and care that these fans want and deserve. I feel we get little or none of that. We need a heartbeat. And fast.

Yup, this is it. They went from a club that just keeps making the wrong decisions to a club that doesn't care anymore. I really believe that Buffalo will not see the playoffs for another 10 years, and that will only happen due to some streak they hit as a one year wonder. The Sabres are the new Coyotes and I think as fans, we have to understand that.

They are part of the NHL, but in reality, that is not how other organizations view them. I think they are stuck here for good and without an owner that hires experienced, knowledgeable minds, it is here where they will stay. Dahlin will be the next to leave, and so on and so on.

I think they need to really evaluate why a player would want to play here.  We are and have been bad for so long that the reputation around the league is incredibly poor, and hard to improve.  So many players have clauses in their contract to protect them from essentially being traded... here.  NYS income tax definitely doesn't help, even if the cost of living in buffalo essentially counters the tax savings in Florida or Nevada.  The stadium's a heartless empty feeling dump.  Training facilities are not impressive.  

Obviously Josh Allen's a big part of the bills success, i don't think that can be questioned.  But pre-Allen, the team spent a lot of money on new training facilities, new recovery tools, and just generally on "the team".  It became a destination specifically for "football players".  Talking up the nightlife of a city, or weather, or whatever - you're always going to lose that battle in buffalo.  But if you say to the players - you're coming here to work, and be a better hockey player - that message can resonate to the right players.

In watching the 4 Nations play... it occurred to me this is what hockey is supposed to be... mind you there is no way you can play an 82 game schedule and playoffs that intense... and there is no way you can approximate that talent on every team... but by and large... the physicality, intensity, sheer will to battle and sell out for every loose puck and face off...  was just amazing... and really illustrates just how weak and soft the Sabres are...  I just cannot imagine them in their current form actually playing in the playoffs when the level of intensity is similar...  I think they would end up with shell shock and never recover...  I would put in an LOL... but I think I am kinda serious here...
