she refuses to give up the power on sabre decisions with players

despite what all the consultants tell her and terry

Such as?

It's nothing new every one knows its going to happen we just have to be smart
- GERBE!!!75PTS

henrique checks off a lot of boxes for me...yeah, i know he's not a perfect solution, but that's fine by me as throwing "perfect" in a description always scares me and usually ends up being worse...

he'll be a competent no.2 and won't cost 8oa...the biggest drawback is his cap-hit which is fine for the next two seasons but presents a bit of a problem over the final two

I just think you have a problem with her in general I don't know why lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

google sabres record the last 8 years



she calls the shots despite what you think you know

if the countless articles and presser do not show it, nothing will

I like winners, it's about time the sabres win and it seems that will only happen if she moves to the side and let someone else run it

busiest off season ever for them this fall

she is the team president

doing f@cking pod casts


open your purse and let duds run the team then

I am amazed at how you guys defend this crap

she has become the jerry jones of the nhl, minus the winning records and cups of course
- navinrjohnson

would you rather her looking over rk/ka's shoulder?

Such as?
- Powerslave

I am not going to rehash it

well know fact, as several people including myself pointed out

they hired consultants many times, esp during gm searches

they were told by consultants to let the gm do their job and be hands off players

they refused to do it, over and over again


then if you have any more ????s listen again to the presser when they hired adams

would you rather her looking over rk/ka's shoulder?
- Michael Pachla

I'd rather she have nothing to do with the team

do what tom did, here is what you got to spend, make it work

then let your gm build the franchise at all levels


but that means you need someone that's at least capable of having ice rinks function, let alone an experienced NHL gm

would you rather her looking over rk/ka's shoulder?
- Michael Pachla

ralph
losing coach in the few seasons he has been behind the bench


adams, no experience as a gm


what could go wrong?



they tell us money is no longer an issue and literally hire guys in positions that no other team even considered let alone wanted

I don't understand why people want to continue to punt seasons away.

If the forward adds involve Paul Statsny and Erik Halua then they need to add a borderline elite winger or it's just not good enough.

I'm fully with Jcrag at this point. Stop kicking the can down the road

Team git gud

How do you do that.

Call every single hit on a player without the puck a penalty. No exceptions.

I think the Henrique cap hit being a problem in year 3 and really year 4 is the ideal scenario where all three of Dahlin, Jokiharju, and Cozens are fantastic.

It would be a great problem to have.

I wonder how much would need to be added to Ristolainen and the 8th overall to get the Ducks to send back Henrique and the 6th overall.

Team git gud

but that yacht cost a lot of money

- kingcong39

you spelled montour wrong



the good thing, if they got henrique

okposo is off the books in 3 years and they can probably move him before the last season begins, if he kind of produces

When they say dumb poop like Virtanen

I'm out
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Oh I agree, was just having fun over there

- kingcong39

when they resumed hockey in 2005 and decided to call everything

it was probably the best hockey played in my lifetime, in general

it's a shame they crept back to the old ways a few years later

I'd rather she have nothing to do with the team

do what tom did, here is what you got to spend, make it work

- navinrjohnson

ain't gonna happen...as much as you/we might hate it, she is the team president of both clubs...

bringing it up on an almost daily basis does nothing to change that fact

ralph
losing coach in the few seasons he has been behind the bench


adams, no experience as a gm

This is the biggest problem to me, they have never hired a GM with experience.

I just think you have a problem with her in general I don't know why lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Cuz she’s in over her head, is heading an embarrassment of a hockey team, has fired half her employees and have had even more quit while having one of the corporate tenets “supporting the pegula lifestyle. Other than that I’m sure she’s wonderful

winning makes it go away

sabres dont win

they dont even come close to winning

- turbo044

Nothing any of us can do about that.

It's their money.

All we can do is hope that Adams and Ralph succeed in spite of her, like McBeane have.

This is the biggest problem to me, they have never hired a GM with experience.
- Leninthebuff

none


money is no object, but we can't get an experienced nhl gm

the only experienced nhl coach we got, was one no team wanted when the pens canned him

you finally have your minor league teams playing well, and you decide to blow it up


I would expect every aspect of the sabres to be a well oiled machine, every freaking aspect

it's anything but that

google sabres record the last 8 years

- kingcong39

am growing fond of that type of trade...however, risto being moved doesn't seem to be in the cards...

as for your question, risto and 8 for henrique and 6 is a good hockey trade for both teams with that move up two spots for buffalo balancing out the two extra years of henriques contract, imo

bringing it up on an almost daily basis does nothing to change that fact

skinner sucks
reinhart sucks
risto sucks



am I doing this right?

I like when you make up lies ...

First it was Babcock then it was dan ... But money's no object bs When they try getting both John Tavares and Stamkos lol

Then they went after Phil housley who is the number one coaching Candidate after the playoffs everyone wanted him

Lol
