That's right...ice...man, I am hilarious. And I'll never cheer for the 2 teams that were pretty much slop my entire life.

What ..lol

Please tell me we aren't handing the hockey dept over to a children's coach.

I always forget who started the Okposo/Chinese thing.
- Wetbandit1

I'm pretty sure it was me. I legit thought he was Asian when we acquired him

I guess I should turn that on this game is pretty (frank)ing boring

You should. OT just started.

Please tell me you're not insinuating Kevyn Adams

Kevin Sylvester, who used to host hockey hotline, suggests Adams is the likely hire.

What ..lol

Then it was 2 people. JVince was definitely one of them and the one I was thinking of. You could've been the other.

Yep. He's mentioned him as well as Sir Paul Hamilton. Not saying he will be the hire but the evidence is mounting. I wouldn't think he'd be the GM but VP of hockey operations sounds likely IMO

there's absolutely no reason to put adams in a position like that...what has he done?...kevin devine has front office experience...would be a better pick, imo, although not the best pick the sabres could make

Unless you are hiring a big name like Messier or a proven winner like Lombardi, I don't see why you need to rush a Kevyn Adams hire. This is too important a decision to make just because Pegula wants to avoid being the center of attention tmo.

Sure what do you want the dimensions to be?

I'm just the messenger. I don't like it but at the same time it makes sense from Pegula's perspective. How much experience did Yzerman have? Honest question as I have no idea.

yeah, I got that about the messenger...

that said, yzerman and adams were two very different players

Yzerman, Shanahan, Neely, Kevyn Adams.

If you are going to hire a former player with little to no experience running a pro hockey team, go hire a hall of famer who at least will command respect. Don't hire a former checking line center who none of the current players have heard of.

So I can make it my avatar here. Whatever fits.

Love ot hockey

Different players doesn't matter. Terrible players are good coaches/Gms all the time.

Exactly. He's in the old boys club. I'm starting to hate that club.

It really shouldn't matter how good of a player they were, but it does somehow. Plus he's got weird parents. Spelling his name with a (frank)ing "Y". I went to high school with his cousin. He was a weird kid.

You have to rush, because you can't be without a front office now. Or ever really, but especially now.

To play devils advocate here Hasek doesn't strike me as a GM or coach he's a hall of famer. I bet there are former players that are not good who are great coaches/good Gms

I'm sure many will groan at this but Matt Ellis will make a very good coach some day once he works his way up the ranks of the NHL
