Pegula is a very good business man that is well known however, he is not a very good owner and Jerry Jones he is not. He needs a hockey guy to work with him on the day to day running of the team.
- SABRES 89


It took Jerry Jones a very long time to realize how to effectively run a team and he still makes crazy moves. As good as Elliot is it was crazy to take a guy that had those questions that high.

Pegula's only been an owner for 5 full seasons. That's not really a long time, you older guys, when you were 5 years into your careers compared to today which guy would you want making decisions?

Picked them to come out of our division
Still think the Caps v Pens winner takes it all
I picked the Caps Bc I like their depth & no Letang for Pitt

- jdfitz77

I agree caps and pitts,but Pittsburgh is way better than the leafs and they'll be watching how the Caps got exposed in the series! But the Caps do have a great defense and better goaltender imho

I've never saw that Scouting Report before ?
- GERBE!!!75PTS



Yeah, I remember hearing that too
But it wasn't like he'd for sure be a winger
Just likely he'd start on the wing & then maybe move back to center

Btw, as my head scout...
if we stay at 6 & have our choice of any defenseman...
who u telling me to take?

Makar, bc of the skating & offensive upside?
Or play it safer with Liljegren or Heiskanen?

agreed, they were wrong on that

he is a complete player, in a re-draft he goes number 1 IMO over ekblad

I would be fine with that but looks like they're going to make us go limp Richard with Kevin Adams

If that's true ...

Yes as of now it is, my uncle's friend is a real good guy and if you have watched any Sabres games and I told you his name, you would know who he is as would any Sabres fan.

He's safe, all those guys are. Rip was around since the beginning through how many owners, GMs, coaches...

Holtby has to be better though
He's been very average, which has obviously helped your Leafs
Credit to u guys though...
I thought you'd get swept

If u guys weren't hated rivals I'd be cheering for ya

I wish Sam were as good as Leon
- chilliard77


Sam supposedly has "hockey smarts."
I have very limited knowledge of Drisatl, but watching this series, he works his ass off.
So, either Sam needs linemates who work their asses off, and his hockey smarts will get them the puck or we have the wrong guy.

I think we all forget that he was a first time GM. I know we all make jokes, but he got almost zero support. He was the one flying blind and it showed at times. I think it was a mistake to fire Murray. I thought the whole point of giving him a shot was to, you know, give him a shot. I know, I know this was his 4th year, but it's only his second year of trying to win. His drafts have gotten better the past 2 years, he hasn't made any impetuous moves. There's plenty of ammo for him contrary to what people may say. Overall I'd say he was learning. Now he'll take all that experience on to another team and they'll be the one to reap the benefits. There's a reason the military wants you to serve at least 3 years of active duty to get the full GI bill. They don't want to waste all those resources training you for a job for you to bail as soon as you get your feet underneath you.

While I don't disagree with any of that...
GMTM had Rochester sucking, us taking a step back, & all the behind the scenes BS was probably the clincher

Murray seemed to be in over his head a bit
And his attitude likely didn't help things either

Meaning there are places you can stand him? Actually he was way better than May that one game he filled in for him.
