Just so you know, had we taken Rossi he would died of long COVID seeing as if it can go wrong; it would

It's good that the owner is seeing what an absolute garbage product his GM has assembled in person. It's one thing to hear/read about it. It's another seeing it with your own eyes. If this doesn't force a change, nothing will.

But Adams listens to Pegula. Unlike those meanies Murray and Botterill.

Terry getting a good look at the dude Adams just re-upped, early

fair enough

This is an ugly game against a very injured Minnesota team. Good ol Papa Warbucks in the building, maybe he can give a speech... Or maybe he gave one during the 1st intermission

It was funny how no one liked the pick at the time and it didn’t work out (so far)

shocking lol 

Could we as a committee run the team better? I don’t see why not

It did look a lot different 1.5 years after the draft when Quinn was tearing up the AHL for his age and Rossi was a question to even be playing hockey again. 

But times change.

There was the brief, “hey maybe Adams actually knows a bit more about the prospects” situation that evaporated quicker than snape confronted with a bottle of shampoo

I was not happy when we picked Quinn. I 100% wanted Rossi. I tried to talk myself into it but he is bad.

I know you are half joking. But, there is no element of good or bad luck involved. This is the cumulative outcome of neglect and incompetence.

Should be noted that at the time, Botterill’s board was Rossi, but when Adams took over he “fell in love” with Quinn. I suggested at the time wanting to move away from Botterill’s analysis may have contributed

Benson went right the net after the whistle for the fun. Power stayed as far away as possible.

Oh he’s not joking 

[DarthEbriate]

It should be noted that the only way the new guy JBD can get into the lineup is to replace Quinn. Not by replacing Bryson. 

[Mr Peabody]

Cozens is the luckiest man in the NHL

I’m being overly dramatic but it does honestly feel that way

I remember during the drought years of the Buffalo Bills, obviously there’d be a lot of discussion about who we should draft coming up each year. The consensus of the board was consistently more on point than the people making the actual pics for the Bills. Almost every year.

There were just so many head scratchers where the people in charge were clearly overthinking, passing on no-brainers and reaching for guys like Donte Whitner and Aaron Maybin, etc. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if the people on this board could do a much better job of drafting.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Anyone think that Pegula seeing us get our skulls crushed in is making any real difference? 

[North Buffalo]

Love Krebs, Benson, and Mal together... just looking to cause trouble... other than that meh.

The 7th defenseman has more ice time than Benson at this point in the game.  I'm not really sure what this means.

I actually think he’s gonna get to a point where he makes drastic changes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he cleans house. He just got voted the worst owner in the NHL and just getting embarrassed on a nightly basis here with guys who are barely trying.

I really don’t think we go into next season with the same structure in place.
