I Really Have No Idea How This Offseason Plays Out

If they do make a change, I think staying in house is a big mistake.

Sure it’s a different voice. Yes, Granato was in 'in house' hire than ended up being better than who he replaced. But I think/fear it will just be more of the same.  Not much will really change.

Agree they should look outside but Terry likes people he “knows”.  People that listen to him.  
 

So of the two insiders, Karmanos or Forton, I would pick Karmanos.  By far the only choice if he goes internal.

And that is exactly why the team is in the spot it is in.

Fairly certain Adams already said that there will be no presser Friday 

If that’s true, then he’s an F’in coward……just like the team he built.

I mean there is absolutely no reason for Adams to keep his job. None. The decision on him will tell us everything we need to know.

If Adams is fired I think there might be some hope depending on the hire. But if Adams is retained then Pegula has absolutely no desire to turn this around or to compete.

I would love to know where Ventura and this lauded Analytics group fit into all this because either they are being completely ignored or they are vastly overrated. 
 

They are desperate for a veteran NHL exec. Let’s just hope Pegula finally has the appetite for it.

The off-season really hinges on whether or not Adams returns.  I’m not optimistic on the roster issues being addressed properly if Adams remains in charge.
