It’s the entire collection of idiots Tim Murray brought in who have put the blame on everyone else’s shoulders but themselves for underperforming the entire time they were here

Dump the Dudley idea...
Hire Kerry and Tim as consultants, they know way more than anyone, just ask them!... join the Sabres fuility and celebrate another 23 years!

It almost looks like the Pegs studied the Panther model from ‘99-‘10 before they bought the Sabres.

You laugh .... what is the common denominator for the Sabres issues??

4 or 5 coaches
4 gms if you include Darcy Too

All failed ........ the only thing they all have in common is the pegulas

Tim Murray sped up the rebuild - got fired

Botts told you move ROR before the bonus - botts got killed in a trade


Pegulas fault

- Sabretooth9



Yeah its their fault for listening to the fans and people in the NHL all they did was bring in the top rated coaches and gms you wanted.. went after high priced free agents to buffalo that everyone wanted ..

They have tried countless times to bring super stars to buffalo and have gotten. Taken advantage of...

But please Continue to blame them for everything Just be happy they interfered with jack signing or he gone already

Think about that

Step 1 - hire an experienced, qualified, President of hockey operations.

Step 2 - set the expectations and budget.

Step 3 - enjoy expensive wine on super yacht.


This is what they have NEVER done. And their egos won’t let them do it.

Do you have any clue why black was let go ?

I suggest you find out before you Mention his name

He is lucky they didn't out him but they did him a favor just like Brandon..

And he had a bigger circle nhl gms and owners but they all Stabbed him in the back that's why he has so much trust Issues..

I wish you all would know how many employees gave information away destroying trades ,gms and bringing bad people to help other teams ..

They will never out people because if they do they will be done in the NHL and they all know ..

You will just get hits ..

But hey they suck

I think Terry's heart was in the right place. But those are the people he surrounded himself witj3 and people he put his trust in. May I ask what Sawyer and Black knew about the game of hockey and managing an NHL team?

Black, a Pittsburgh native who has more than 20 years of experience in legal, business and team operations, is the former chairman of the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Sports, Entertainment and Law Committee.

“FSN Pittsburgh has made an excellent choice in their decision to hire Ted Black as general manager,” Penguins CEO Ken Sawyer said. “Ted has been a valuable member of the Penguins’ senior management team since Mario Lemieux’s ownership group bought the club in 1999, and the depth of his knowledge of professional sports management and its key relationship to telecast partners will serve him well in his new position. We look forward to working together with Ted and his staff at FSN Pittsburgh.”

It goes back to Darcy's idea of the tank and the Pegula's agreed with it. Perhaps when you tank and don't get a Mario and Jagr, or Crosby and Malkin as your foundation it's a tough row to hoe and also go with a sped-up re-build plan where you trade the top picks you got for the players you traded. Not sure who led the sped-up plan GM TM or Pegulas but they should have been patient. Not to mention throwing big money at bad FA's wasn't good either. A lot of those are hockey decisions and GM's were no doubt excited for Buffalo to be competing with the big dogs in trying to get players and tossed money around like it was candy. There is plenty of blame to go around.
