I don't see it the same way. As long as Adams addresses what should have been addressed 2 years ago, we're all good.

I think he will. I have more hope today than I have had in months.

I feel bad for all the people who lost their jobs due to Botterill's incompetence. Had he secured one more win and a play-in berth through better roster construction, the Rochester staff and the scouts would probably have jobs.

His incompetence cost many jobs today

Maybe.
I think that the price of Natural Gas at rock bottom prices, along with Covid-19 crushing the economy is more of a factor given the Efficiecy, Economic mandate from Kym and Teri Pugulia

At least they could have the draft first before firing everyone ...

This is going to suck

Let's see what Kevyn does, maybe he's got a few tricks up his sleeve. He's been around the league in different ways for 25yrs.

He sounds like a dope. I listened to the zoom call...OMFG these people. I truly think Botts stood in front of the train when they said to cut staff.

How do you ditch Taylor like that?

MORONS!

Ralph should have cut one of his inept (I have used that word a TON today) assistants, and kept Taylor on

Your idea is still the same, but he has another bonus next year as well. Granted, it's only $2M and his salary is only $4M the final 2 years of his deal.

I know, I just meant we could have traded it during this draft, then go into free agency with the extra space.

Kim looks like she's working hard, looked like she got hit by a truck during the press conference.

She could use a long vacation, just bring in a VP and go enjoy your retirement.

I've seen this before - we called it "The Ballard Years."

You Buffalo fans probably don't want to ask me how it went.

- Atomic Wedgie


Well considering the team hasn't been good outside of a handful of years since the first expansion I don't really need to ask how it went.

I learned of the news while at work today via text from my brother. Thought to myself how strange, a few weeks ago black widow knew more than us fans. Didnt think much of it for the rest of the day

I was at the pegula game. In fact I will never forget the how it felt to be there on that night, what it was like inside that building and the run that proceeded.

Wtf are we doing and how did we get here

We all bought the lie that the Sabres reason for existence was to win the Stanley Cup.

That's how we got here.

Save it.

I'm the eternal optimist. I look for the silver lining in everything.

Those two and their arrogance have killed much of my optimism for this franchise.

And, no, they didn't try to lose.

But they have NO CLUE ON HOW TO WIN AND REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT (frank)ING THING AND HIRE A GOD DAMN POHO AND GET THE (frank) OUT OF THE WAY.

To be fair, it at least appeared they were pulling all the stops for awhile. For me not much of this matters, I started to correlate the issues here with ownership for a couple years already. The only thing to do is to win, somehow

I really wish kevin adams the best and who knows maybe they get a player or two in here, dahlin takes another step and skinner regains 30g form. That along with a healthy ullmark should get you in the playoffs

I still think the hot stretch looked different with kruger than it did with housley two years ago

You know I would never think that but then the story came out about Hutton, it makes it a little fishy. And every body keeps saying it most not have been that bad, well he was pretty bad over a 13 game stretch where we only got 5 out of a possible 26pts. We all know how much we need a 2C, but that stretch hurt more then people want to admit.

Such thick sweet irony that the financial times they are facing is being burdened by having the worst hockey team of the last decade

You're a good poster. That made my heart sick and warm at the same time.
